Training Camp for Rookie TrusteesDesigned for New and Inexperienced TrusteesFriday, Jan. 11, 2019
All boards face tough challenges. The future success of any hospital board depends on the board’s ability to function in a visionary and collaborative framework of governing.
This training camp is especially designed for inexperienced or less-experienced trustees. It will help newer trustees understand fundamental issues and expectations of health care boards and trustees; understand the challenges of governance in leading through reform; provide information about basic board and trustee roles and responsibilities; and provide an overview of basic finance and reimbursement.
This extended session will explore essential governance practice questions that every board member should know the answers to in order to consistently carry out effective and accountable trusteeship.
The training camp will explore fundamental governance responsibilities in the areas of organizational vision; roles and responsibilities; policies and procedures; quality; communication and relationship with other board members, CEOs, physicians, staff and the community; education and self-assessment; finance; and more.
At the close of the program, attendees will participate in an open forum to discuss other questions about governance responsibilities and accountabilities.

#3 Dynamics and Pressures in Health Insurance MarketsMatthew Anderson, J.D., senior vice president of policy and chief strategy officer, Minnesota Hospital Association, St. Paul, MNPremium rates in the individual health insurance markets have captured media attention even though only a small fraction of people get health coverage through these plans.

Although not required, the law indirectly pressures public hospitals to show similar efforts. Leadership at the board level can be the difference between a CHNA processthat merely complies with the law and one that adds fuel to the hospital’s work to target limited community benefit resources moreeffectively, strengthen support within the communities it serves and build partnerships that help advance its community service mission.

Kari Larsen, senior vice president, health care practice leader, and Kevin Talbot, managing director and practice leader, Gallagher, Minneapolis, MNEffective boards engage in strategic planning, influencing long-range direction focused on total organizational well-being and engagement. They reinforce a healthy workplace culture that leads to better work, improving outcomes for patients, employees and the enterprise. Strategic planning, at its best, is a collaborative effort of both the board and senior leadership and can be directly linked to clinical outcomes, patient experience and financial viability. Failure to engage in strategic planning will increase exposure to organizational risk. This session will address the benefits of maintaining a strategic focus and what risks a board takes if it allows itself to be pulled into day-to-day tactical issues.
Strategic Planning and Positioning

#17 A Dose of Passion and Meaningful WorkMargaret Sumption, M.S., LPC, SPHR, Sumption & Wyland, Sioux Falls, SDBoard service is stressful and oftentimes littered with indecision, worry and anxiety. Board members deserve to have the work of the board be structured in a manner to allow for confident debate and decision-making. Has this statement ever crossed your mind? “Our board meetings are six hours long! We talk and talk and never get to a level of confidence to make a decision!” Having a well-designed committee structure creates an environment for sound board function. A good committee structure anchors people in areas of high interests and skills, breaking down the work into meaningful components. This session will take you through the discernment process to know what committees you need. It will also offer the key policies and practices necessary for a committee structure to work at its highest level. Whether you are a 501(c)(3) or a public nonprofit, there are ways to make light work of difficult board responsibilities.

It is our strength in times of difficulty that prove our character and self-worth. Hoffman will share her experience of being on a reality show and encourage you to think about how to decide to survive daily.
