I think this is an exceptional article that highlights not only the challenges but the opportunities for solutions in creating a collaborative environment between health system leaders and bedside clinicians.The key challenges and subsequent solutions identified by the authors -Mental model differences - break down silos and reframe the discussionChess game of stakeholder engagement - toss the board and consult the front lineConsistency of language and need for administrative resilience - limit jargonBridging the learning gap - early exposure and collaboration for future successare consistent with my own perspective and approach in accelerating efforts to benefit patients, their communities and the health system as well. #healthcare #leadership #medicalleadership #clinicalexcellence

"The advice to eat healthier foods and be physically active is rooted in strong evidence, but it does not account for people around the world whose lives look nothing like those of the mostly white, mostly well-off residents of a Boston suburb. “The current recommendations have fallen short because of the lack of focus on social determinants of health and structural drivers” that influence a person’s health practices..."I think this is an article worth revisiting because it not only puts much of the data in context but it also humanizes the discussion. It also adds a global view that many articles lack. Health inequity is a global problem and we collectively have to acknowledge where systemic forces and our own interactions can lead to exacerbating conditions. #healthequity #healthinequity #dei #diversityequityinclusion #healthcare https://buff.ly/4c0ssdq

"For community-based health disparities research, collaboration with communities and those with lived experiences is integral, particularly when working with historically disenfranchised communities with low levels of trust in the biomedical research enterprise. Meaningful engagement with multiple partners in the community needs to occur at every stage of the research process, from concept to dissemination of research findings, and should extend beyond consultation to shared decision-making and leadership. Equitable and meaningful collaboration with key community partners helps build trust and shared values around science and research and is essential for program sustainability."This is another solid article discussing better community involvement to address health inequities in a structured manner. The authors highlight ongoing programs and workshops towards those ends and like "Unequal Treatment," these are useful programs to monitor and/or follow their recommendations. #healthequity #dei #diversityequityinclusionhttps://buff.ly/44HNlb0

I'm so pleased to have been a presenter at Hospital Association of Southern California (HASC) and to be joined by Chia-Shing Yang MD FACP FHM. #Healthequity is something we can all work towards eliminating and I'm always excited to promote the discussion not only of the problems but also the solutions. #healthcare #DEI #diversityequityinclusion #healthinequity

"The establishment of a patient safety culture in the organization was identified as the second most important step in leadership attributes in LMICs regarding ensuring patient safety. Establishing clear safety goals and expectations, promoting safety accountability, and encouraging employees to report incidents and near-misses are all part of this.Healthcare teamwork and collaboration should also be prioritized by leaders. Effective communication and collaboration are required for identifying and mitigating potential patient safety hazards. Leaders can promote communication and collaboration among healthcare providers while also implementing inter-professional team training programs. Prioritizing patient safety in healthcare organizations not only improves patient outcomes but also fosters a safety culture that promotes better quality of care and ensures patients receive the highest level of safety and care possible." Of course staffing and resources contribute to patient safety. I appreciate this article for highlighting the importance of leadership in creating the culture of safety. Leadership behaviors that include effective communication and the need for senior leaders and not just unit or site level leaders is important too. #leadership #healthcare #patientsafety #acutecare https://buff.ly/3UCqKYN
