The clinical picture

The multidisciplinary care conference (tumor board / team rounds): many consultants, one chair, one written plan. Governance is the same mechanism run on the organization instead of the patient.

What this exam measures

The care conference, operationally: whether your executives decide cross-cutting questions together, in one physician-led body that produces a signed plan. Answer Yes only when someone can produce the evidence today.

The examination

Answer as your executive team would, with the evidence in hand. Each question has a factual answer in a system you already own.

Does the organization have a chartered cross-disciplinary, cross-executive synthesis function chaired by a lead physician with explicit authority?

When the CFO, CIO, COO, CMO and CNO disagree on a question that is clinical, technical, operational and financial at once, who decides? Is the answer a name or a process?

A reflection tool from the book, not a validated diagnostic test or benchmark. Your answers and notes stay in this browser and in your own report, and go to Dr. Powell only if you chose that when you started. Please don't enter patient information.

The conference is not ceremonial activity. It is the intervention. Stated plainly, governance is coordination.
