Debates about the relative advantages of health systems versus more loosely structured health networks have largely ignored issues of how these different organizational forms are governed. Based on comparisons of two large samples of health systems and health networks, our findings indicate that the majority of both types of organized delivery systems have governing bodies separate from those of affiliate organizations, high proportional representation by affiliate organizations, and similar board size.
关于卫生系统相对于结构较为松散的卫生网络的相对优势的辩论，在很大程度上忽略了这些不同组织形式如何进行治理的问题。基于对两个大型卫生系统样本和卫生网络样本的比较，我们的研究结果表明，这两种有组织的服务提供系统中的大多数都有与附属组织不同的治理机构、附属组织的高比例代表权以及相似的董事会规模。
