“…This study is expected to contribute to the literature in the following ways. First, prior corporate governance and CSR research in the healthcare sector has been focused on a sub‐sector, which includes public hospitals, 1 nonprofit hospitals (Brickley et al, 2010; Cardinaels, 2009; Eeckloo et al, 2004; Robbins & Taylor, 2014; Rohini & Mahadevappa, 2010), primary healthcare organizations (King & Green, 2012), and pharmaceutical companies (Droppert & Bennett, 2015; Nussbaum, 2009; Smith, 2008), or has been realized in a single country (AlJaberi et al, 2020; Jamali et al, 2010; Khan et al, 2018; King & Green, 2012; Limbu et al, 2020; Robbins & Taylor, 2014; Torchia & Calabrò, 2018; Tuan, 2012; Tuan, 2014; Yadav et al, 2020). Although these studies provide valuable insights into the existing body of knowledge, their findings are bounded by a specific sub‐sector or country.…”

Despite the growing importance of responsible behavior in the healthcare sector, research on corporate social responsibility (CSR) in association with board structure is scarce. Hence, the objective of this study is twofold: (1) to test whether a board structure is associated with firm financial and CSR performance and (2) whether the CSR committee and CEO duality moderates this association in the healthcare sector.Examining the moderation of CSR committee is important to understand whether CSR committee strengthens or weakens the link between female directors and CSR performance. Moreover, CEO duality's moderation will highlight whether powerful CEOs are a barrier for female directors' monitoring role. The data for the study was derived from the Thomson Reuters Eikon database for the years between 2011-2018. Overall, the results suggest that while female directors contribute to firm performance, CEOs with dual roles and larger boards harm firm performance. Further, independent directors have a limited contribution to CSR performance whereas they have no contribution to financial performance. Moderation analysis shows that CSR committees and female directors are not the replacement of one another; they are both needed and beneficial to the corporate structure. Although CEOs with a dual role impair the performance of a firm, they do not exert considerable influence on the other directors. As one of the important functions of a board is monitoring, these findings assist healthcare firms to configure their boards to improve their monitoring functions. The results are therefore helpful in terms of alleviating agency costs and in appeasing stakeholders.

This research aims to discuss the business model themes supported by the innovation regarding the sustainable transition difficulties to promote the hospital supply chains. A model for future applications and empirical analyzes in the health service area is proposed. In the current hospital scenario, the systems are characterized by the individualistic attention of the closed business models, hampering the promotion of the business models, the innovation, and the sustainable transitions as the sustainable supply chain (SSC) enablers. The survey evaluates the private hospital chain in Brazil. The model was evaluated by seven specialists indicated by the main private Brazilian hospitals that are accredited by Joint Commission International and Public Ministry. The discussion presented seeks to advance the observation and the understanding of the relationships among the business models, the innovation, the sustainable transitions, and the sustainable supply chains in the health socioeconomic context through the lens of the service provider, without exhausting these themes separately. The main results are the issues related to the difficulties of sustainable transition to promote the SSC in the hospital context, showing the elements into which the hospitals are inserted and helping to close the gap in the literature on the subject. Sustainable transitions, along with the SSC, present themselves as rich and challenging themes, but are beneficial for conducting dialogues between approaches.

Primary care providers, including general practice teams (GPTs), are well positioned within the community to integrate cancer survivorship care into ongoing health management. However, roles of GPT members in delivery of cancer survivorship care have not been explored. The purpose of this study is to explore these roles from the perspectives of General Practitioners (GPs), Practice Nurses (PNs) and Practice Managers (PMs). An interpretive qualitative study using semi‐structured in‐depth telephone interviews with ten GPs, nine PNs and five PMs was conducted. Interviews were recorded, transcribed and analysed using grounded theory methods. Perspectives of roles in delivery of cancer survivorship care were highly variable. Variation was evident among perceptions of needs of cancer survivors, individual team members’ scopes of practice, and individual professional knowledge and skills. A lack of clarity in roles and responsibilities of GPT members was thought to contribute to a lack of consistency in survivorship care. Reducing variations in perceptions of survivorship care in the primary care setting should be a priority. Such efforts may include development of practical guidance to support GPT members to clarify scopes of practice within the team. In addition to accessible comprehensive education programs, other innovative, tailored individualised education approaches may be helpful. System‐level support in clarifying and supporting the roles of the primary care team is needed to facilitate a survivorship delivery system at general practice level where those within GPT can ensure that individual patients’ needs are met in a timely and effective manner.
