COVID-19 is a significant risk that compels hospital boards to react in an agile manner. Good governance requires active and effective oversight as hospitals continue to manage the pandemic for an indefinite period. Emerging from the first wave of COVID, in the context of continuously evolving restrictions, hospital boards must transition from interim solutions to sustainable practices. This new environment requires agile practices grounded in clear roles, sound structures and transparent processes. Boards can seize this opportunity to reflect on best practices, extract underlying principles of good governance and elevate these practices into a "new normal" governance environment.
