PROGRAM OVERVIEW This session will address the important role hospitals play to advance health equity in their communities. We will explore the concepts of social determinants of health, the difference between equity and equality, disparities created by standard health care practices. Attendees will be introduced to inclusive frameworks and how these concepts can be adapted to their practice settings. Participants will learn about inclusive approaches to care to improve clinical outcomes, recruitment, retention, and community partnerships. This workshop uses real case studies to demonstrate how leaders can better advance health equity through: Clinical guidelines and standard practices. Hospital system policies. Patient care. Personnel management. Technology and infrastructure. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Identify the various health care system factors contributing to societal disparities. Describe inclusive care settings for patients and staff by assessing current policies and practices for embedded inequities. Identify guidelines or practices leading to inequitable clinical outcomes. Apply tools to introduce or broaden health equity conversations in different care settings. INTENDED AUDIENCE Clinicians. Hospital administrators. Hospital staff working on DEI initiatives. Physicians. Trustees. SPEAKER Dr. Megan Srinivas grew up in Iowa as the daughter of two Indian immigrants. She is an infectious disease physician and health policy researcher who works with the Iowa Primary Care Association and the University of North Carolina. She is co-leading a World Health Organization project advancing access to sexual and reproductive health care in resource-limited settings and recently completed a National Institutes of Health-funded study analyzing legislative defunding of family planning health centers. She is a national delegate to the American Medical Association, a senior Atlantic fellow for health equity, sits on Iowa’s National Alliance for Mental Illness’s Board of Directors, and serves on the Iowa Supreme Court’s Access to Justice Commission.
