In addition the following skill sets or experiences are required to be represented within the BHFA membership:• chief medical officer,• medical staff officer,• hospital administration,• a quality officer with one or more years of experience, and• a registered nurse with a background and experience in quality.

The BHFA membership also includes at least one MD representing an allopathic or mixed staff hospital accredited by HFAP and possessing relevant experience or skill sets. All members demonstrate involvement and experience and/or commitment to quality improvement and patient safety. If additional skill sets are needed, that are not represented on the BHFA, the BHFA membership will be supplemented with a combination of subcommittees and ad hoc committees which will include individuals with the necessary skills.

The BHFA membership is drawn so as to represent a geographic diversity and experience with health facilities that are the size of the BHFA client base. Finally, terms of members are implemented so as to stagger the membership terms and ensure that terms do not expire for more than a third of the BHFA during any one year.
