Join Shiran Isaacksz, VP, University Health Network at our global webinar for World Accreditation Day! He will explore the critical role of equity and access to care by shifting the focus from traditional institutional models to "care outside the walls," which include holistic community-based approaches. This impactful discussion will center on addressing systemic disparities, increasing accessibility, and cultivating a culture of inclusivity within the health care delivery system.

What a privilege for my colleagues @MeetaShah and @FelicheBellezza to recently speak at the Health Equity Summit, hosted by Executives’ Club of Chicago. Improving health equity and better addressing social drivers of health are not just the right thing to do – it makes business sense too. Here are a few take-aways from the discussion: Up to 80% or a person’s health is influenced by social factors, such as access to nutritious food or affordable housing, rather than what happens in the doctor’s office. In fact, inequities annually cost the U.S. health care system $450 billion. Accelerating the transition from fee-for-service health to value-based care is crucial, given this approach can help improve access, address social drivers of health, close gaps in care and better support the needs of people with high-risk or chronic conditions. For people with complex health issues, personalized advocacy programs can contribute to more informed decision making and help drive improved coordination across a person’s care team. Leveraging data is becoming increasingly important, both to help connect consumers to relevant community resources and to enable employers to customize benefit plans and clinical programs to better meet the needs of their workforces.      Check out the photo below from the panel featuring @JayBhatt, @HowardChrisman, @NgoziEzike and @KatieBrandt, and click the following link to read about other solutions: https://lnkd.in/gXJH25Y6

Collaborating for health equity requires intentional actions. Institutions must share power with community members and diverse organizations. This includes prioritizing community leadership, capacity building, and community wisdom.

Looking very forward to keynoting at the 2024 Combined Regional Health Advisory Council Conference being hosted by the Barossa Hills Fleurieu Local Health Network at the end of this month. "We will explore the power of perspective when considering the complexity of issues that are common across regional Health Advisory Councils and their Local Health Network counterparts, such as diversity in engagement, collective advocacy, allyship, workforce resourcing, technology in health, the changing health environment, and new approaches to overcoming challenges in rural and regional healthcare." https://lnkd.in/g_PRFDQw

Thanks for this opportunity to collaborate. In a period of scarcity of manpower and financial resources, where time for the individual patient is limited due to high registration burden, healthcare cannot keep up with the digital and technological revolution. We might lose our way and each other on the ultimate common goal of healthcare: adding personalised value Healthcare providers, professionals, patients, health insurers and the government have to speak the same language. This report strives to do so ! Keep on doing this together by implementing PCVBHC Maasstad Ziekenhuis , Santeon Genootschap Gepersonaliseerde Zorg Linnean Initiatief Erasmus School of Health Policy & Management (ESHPM)

Effectively addressing social determinants of health (SDOH) and promoting health equity in communities requires an intentional focus on cross-sector partnership among public health, health care, and community-based organizations (CBOs). In the blog post, Unlock the potential of cross-sector SDOH partnerships with intentional collaboration, we'll describe structures that cross-sector partnerships can put in place to set themselves up for success.

By bringing together diverse stakeholders like healthcare professionals, community leaders, and policymakers, we can foster open dialogue, share insights, and develop innovative solutions. To ensure flexibility in our timeline, we should consider leveraging digital tools to schedule meetings or dialogues. Additionally, explore the possibility of conducting collaborative sessions in a neutral community setting. These collaborative sessions not only enhance communication but also build trust and strengthen partnerships within the community.
