GOVERNANCE CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE

The Governance Centre of Excellence (GCE) provides a broad range of relevant services and educational programs including online resources and tools for health care trustees. The GCE released the Guide to Good Governance in November, 2005 which provides a practical reference for trustees, providing an overview of best/recommended practices in health care governance as well as a wide variety of templates and examples from the field.

Leading Excellence in Governance is a key strategic direction for the OHA. In 2007, the OHA introduced a new governance curriculum as part of one of its new strategic directions, “Leading Excellence in Governance”. The curriculum and learning methods were completely revised and updated to reflect changes taking place in the health care environment.

OHA’s governance certificate courses are designed to meet the needs of trustees as they evolve through the life-cycle on a hospital board. This means providing the right learning experience at the right time to meet the needs of trustees as they progress.
