    Background:

    • Maintaining effective governance in geographically dispersed multihospital systems is challenging.
    • The increasing diversification of healthcare systems necessitates robust and adaptable governance models.
    • Decentralization in healthcare delivery can strain centralized oversight and strategic alignment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the governance structure of Baptist Hospitals and Health Systems.
    • To illustrate the successful duplication of this governance model in an acquired county hospital.
    • To provide a case study for managing governance in expanding health systems.

    Main Methods:

    • Descriptive case study approach.
    • Analysis of the existing governance framework at Baptist Hospitals and Health Systems.
    • Evaluation of the implementation process in the acquired Florida hospital.

    Main Results:

    • The established governance structure was effectively replicated.
    • Successful integration of the acquired county hospital into the system's governance framework.
    • Demonstrated feasibility of applying a centralized governance model to a newly acquired, geographically distinct entity.

    Conclusions:

    • A well-defined governance structure can be successfully scaled across diverse geographical locations.
    • Replication of governance models is achievable with strategic planning and execution.
    • This case study offers insights into maintaining systemwide cohesion and control during healthcare system expansion.
