As required by The Joint Commission, a board of directors should regularly assess its performance, appropriateness of board and committee processes and charter fulfillment, adequacy of meeting structures and goals, communication with management, and other governance structures and activities. Generally, boards and their committees complete this assessment through self-surveys, internal audits, or collection of results as performed by legal services. Assessment results can lead to changes in board processes, with the goal of adapting to changing risks and environmental requirements, and improvements in governance.
