Nurse executives play a vital role in the overall governance of healthcare organizations, and many participate on governing boards. However, we lack a model for effective governing-body relations and contributions. The author presents major functions of the governing body with emphasis on the critical elements provided by the nurse executive. The author also defines major outcomes for nursing.
