Recalibrating Health System Effectiveness Through a Health Equity Lens:

Discussion Hosts: LaRonda Chastang, Senior Vice President Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and Jaime Dircksen, Vice President, Community Health & Well-Being, Trinity Health

Health systems are using diversity, equity, and inclusion frameworks to drive their population health efforts, develop trust with the communities they serve and build for a sustainable economic future.

This session will enable you to reflect on the maturity of your own organization’s health equity framework as you hear how health system systems are approaching their development at a macro and micro level, what’s the same and what might be different based on the unique populations they serve.

Questions to consider

• Are there universal guiding principles to doing this work well?
• What type of work are you prioritizing as an organization and why? 
• What are the pre-requisites to develop the organizational capacity to do this work?
• Is there an exemplary case study that you’d like to replicate in future work that can serve as a model for others?

Discussion Host: Philip Scribano, DO, Section Chief, Center for Child Protection & Health, CHOP

Trauma informed care is not a new model, but it is often a new skill set to most clinicians practicing today. As many in the health system work to build and rebuild trust with their patients and communities, hear how one health system is approaching using a trauma informed approach.

Questions to consider

• What are the skill sets required in the future for the healthcare workforce to deliver patient centered, whole person care?
• What can a health system do to demonstrate its commitment to health equity?  In other words, how do we put our money where our mouth is to promote trust?
• Are there unique opportunities in working with children and their families that should be prioritized and why?

Data-driven, personalized engagement with patients, communities and clinicians can help address upstream social drivers of health and make a meaningful, sustainable change at a macro and micro level toward improving population health.  Learn how Northeast Ohio is using data and partnerships to address social drivers of health and promote health equity.

Questions to consider

• Is your organization ready to address new standards from The Joint Commission and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid services (CMS) for SDOH data? 
• How can technology and data analytics assist in determining what is working to improve the health of populations?
• What community investments are you making to address the social needs of your population?

Funding Mission Critical Work: Capitalizing on the Value of Community Health Workers:

Discussion Hosts: Jennifer Kons, Director of Strategic Initiatives, Greater Cleveland United Way

CMS and payers vary in what types of screening and services are reimbursed making it a challenge for health systems to scale the work of addressing the social needs of their patients and making a margin.  Dialogue with a health system working with their payer and policy makers on realizing value in health equity.

Several states are expanding Medicaid funding opportunities through community health worker benefits.  Dialogue with one health system that’s realizing value from developing a workforce and programmatic approach to meeting patient’s social needs.

Questions to consider

• How do you reconcile ‘no margin, no mission’ on important health equity work when funding sources are limited, and most health systems have razor thin margins at best right now?   
• Where are you finding measurable value in this work and what efforts are underway at your organization to sustain this work?
