When healthcare organizations face regulatory education requirements, NJHA Education develops targeted programs to aid providers and support compliance. Here are current programs to address statutory requirements.
Trustee Education
NJHA – and New Jersey state law – recognizes that hospital and health system trustees require specialized tools, comprehensive training programs and other educational resources to help them make the critical decisions required to effectively govern their healthcare organizations.
As mandated by N.J. Administrative Code, a general hospital shall ensure that all members of the hospital's governing body complete a trustee training program conducted by an approved training provider within six months of the member's appointment.
To meet this requirement, NJHA provides on-demand virtual training year-round. Our NJHA Trustee Education program provides a comprehensive understanding of the ethical and fiduciary responsibilities of a trustee, hospital financial management and legal/regulatory compliance issues.
