AFHTO is pleased to announce that the Fundamentals of Governance guidebook, toolkit and videos are now available on our members-only website. AFHTO’s Fundamentals of Governance is intended to provide the boards of Family Health Teams and Nurse Practitioner-Led Clinics with essential, basic information that will help them to become high performing boards and organizations. The material can be used as:
- An introduction to governance for new board members
- A refresher and ongoing education resource for all board members
- A guide to assess whether your board is using leading governance practice and identify opportunities for improvement
- A valuable source of sample policies, position descriptions, assessment tools and other resources to help boards fulfill their governance role.
This resource covers all the elements of the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care’s Accountability Reform Initiative to help boards meet the requirements to be granted greater budget flexibility. (Note: MOHLTC’s Accountability Reform Initiative is currently in place for FHTs; we anticipate it will be offered to NPLCs in the next year or two.) Fundamentals of Governance was developed by governance experts and advisors at The Osborne Group, and overseen by AFHTO’s Governance and Leadership Advisory Committee. As a result, it is customised to address governance questions and issues relevant to FHTs and NPLCs. If you have any questions about AFHTO’s Fundamentals of Governance, please contact Clarys Tirel, Provincial Lead, Governance and Leadership by email clarys.tirel@afhto.ca or phone 647-234-8605 ext. 201.
