Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Nursing Leadership
  • Organizational Effectiveness

Background:

  • Shared governance is crucial for decision-making in healthcare, primarily occurring within councils.
  • Existing literature revealed a lack of standardized instruments to evaluate the functioning of these shared governance councils.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a reliable instrument for measuring the effectiveness of shared governance councils.
  • To provide a tool for assessing council performance at unit or division levels.

Main Methods:

  • A four-phase development process was employed, including expert content validation, pilot testing for feasibility and internal consistency, and exploratory factor analysis.
  • Input was gathered from over a dozen experts and participants across nearly 30 healthcare organizations.

Main Results:

  • The final instrument, the 25-item Council Health Survey, was developed.
  • Items were categorized into structure, activities, and membership to measure council effectiveness.

Conclusions:

  • The study emphasizes focusing on shared governance councils as the locus of shared governance work.
  • The Council Health Survey provides a means to evaluate these critical structures effectively.
