The authors argue that gender diversity of boards improves health care organizational performance when compared to homogeneous boards. The theoretical framework used was developed from conducting literature reviews of scholarly academic journal articles on gender, boards, and organizational performance as well as performing an in-depth study of the performance of health care organizations in Ontario, Canada. Research results suggest that effective boards and their composition were dependent on their female-to-male ratio to realize administrative efficiencies. Publicly funded, nonprofit, 126 acute care hospitals located in Ontario, Canada, were chosen as the health care sector for this research. Limitations of this study are in the complexity of the health care industry, competing internal and external priorities, and funding constraints. Nevertheless, this book is original work and relevant for use by boards to examine the complementary mix of gender as a predictor of organizational performance. 410 0$aHealth care management collection.$x2333-861X 606 $aHealth services administration 606 $aBoards of directors 606 $aHealth boards 606 $aDiversity in the workplace 606 $aHealth Services Administration 610 $aboard 610 $adiversity 610 $agender 610 $ahealth care 610 $aorganizational performance 610 $aupper echelons 615 0$aHealth services administration. 615 0$aBoards of directors. 615 0$aHealth boards. 615 0$aDiversity in the workplace. 615 2$aHealth Services Administration. 676 $a362.1068 700 $aRoberts$b Sharon.$01500878 702 $aFrankl$b Milan. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798005803321 996 $aImproving health care management at the top$93727749 997 $aUNINA
