ABSTRACT Background: The current increase of hospital growth in Indonesia has not been followed by an increase in hospital performance. The low level of hospital governance is a very significant matter to be questioned related to the performance and application of the principles of Good Corporate Governance. Aims: To evaluate the application of Good Corporate Governance to the performance of hospitals in South Sulawesi. Methods: This study used qualitative methods. Six informants consisting of academics, practitioners and policy makers were interviewed in-depth. Instruments used is based on the National Hospital Accreditation Standards with the approach to the concept of Good Corporate Governance, tools using tape recorders, camcorders and field notes. Results: This study found that the application of Good Corporate Governance in hospitals involved the concept of transparency, accountability, responsibility, independency and fairness. The transparency in the hospital besides the community also to the internal hospital. The transparency to the community includes the existence of an organizational structure that can be accessed by everyone, but only with a structural board and not with basic tasks and functions (tupoksi). The transparency on the internal hospital can be in the form of superior to subordinate or between subordinates. Hospitals do not have an absolute concept of independence, because there are binding rules especially when the hospital is a government hospital. Conclusion: Need special policies regarding good corporate governance in hospitals even though the application has been accommodated in the hospital
ational accreditation standard survey instrument.
