Board of Directors
CIHI’s 15-member Board of Directors is proportionately constituted to create a balance among health sectors and regions of Canada. It links federal, provincial and territorial governments with non-governmental health-related groups.
CIHI’s Board serves as a national coordinating council for health information in Canada and in so doing fulfills four key roles—stewardship, advisory, fiduciary, and monitoring.
The Board of Directors Governance Handbook (2012) provides an overview of the organization and the structures and methods by which the organization is governed.
