Abstract

Contemporary healthcare reforms have significantly influenced hospital governance, particularly regarding legal accountability, patient protection, and regulatory compliance. Hospitals are required to adapt their governance systems to evolving healthcare regulations to maintain legal certainty and service quality. This study aims to analyze the legal adaptation of hospital governance within contemporary health regulatory reforms. The research employs a normative juridical method using statutory and conceptual approaches. Primary legal materials include health legislation and hospital regulations, supported by scientific literature and legal doctrines. The findings indicate that regulatory reforms have expanded hospital responsibilities concerning patient safety, electronic medical records, licensing systems, and institutional transparency. Consequently, hospitals must strengthen compliance-based governance, internal supervision, and legal risk management. This study emphasizes the importance of adaptive hospital governance in responding to contemporary healthcare regulatory transformation.
