Health Boards
The Health Boards are auxiliary entities of hospitals and clinics and their function is to improve health care, administrative and financial performance, as well as the promotion of citizen participation. They are composed of users, representatives of civil society and the private health sector. The members of the health board hold their positions ad-honorem. Their appointment may be revoked by means of a reasoned resolution of the Board of Directors of the Fund, when it is found that they have incurred a lack of conformity with the general provisions of the Institution. Likewise, the positions are two years long and members can be reelected.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
