SUMMARY:Embracing a Dialogue about Gender Equity and Intersectionality: A Virtual Face to Face Credit Session
DESCRIPTION:As healthcare consumers become more demographically diverse\, healthcare leaders seek to recruit and retain talent from diverse backgrounds and experiences. Gaining an understanding of intersectionality will equip leaders to build and retain team members across difference and in ways that establish common ground and cultivate inclusive cultures of belonging. The concept of intersectionality recognizes that everyone has multiple identities that intersect and influence how we view ourselves and interact with others. Learning how to effectively apply intersectionality principles will help organizations move beyond the one-dimensional aspects of traditional diversity\, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts. \nIn the drive for gender equity\, healthcare leaders have acknowledged the need for fully inclusive gender equity that recognizes the intersectionality of race\, ethnicity\, sexual orientation\, and other dimensions of identity. Efforts to improve women representation in the senior ranks of healthcare management must include women from all backgrounds and experiences. When intersectionality considerations are incorporated into gender equity strategies\, organizations can reap tangible\, proven benefits including better talent recruitment and retention\, stronger DEI outcomes\, and improved organizational performance. \nLearning Objectives:  \n\nDefine the concepts of gender equity and intersectionality in the context of healthcare leadership\nCurrent state of women in healthcare management\, including data and research on women of color and women with differing abilities and sexual orientation\nThe essential role of allies—men and non-racially diverse persons—in the gender equity and intersectionality work\nHow gender equity and intersectionality may fit into an organization’s traditional diversity and inclusion strategies and initiatives\nHow incorporating gender equity and intersectionality principles can enhance talent management\, support DEI goals and improve organizational performance\nThe disparate impact on women of color and women with differing abilities and sexual orientations regarding key aspects of gender diversity\, such as pay equity\, positions on boards\, promotion\, recruitment\, selection and mentoring/sponsorship\nOrganizational benefits of effective application of gender equity and intersectionality principles\nResources and tools to change organizational culture\, policies and procedures to address structural racism and sexism\n\nThis program is valued as 1.5 Hours of ACHE Face to Face Credits\n\nRegistration\nACHE\, ASHHRA\, NAHSE\, NESHS and Hospital Association Members\n$35.00 \nFuture Members\n$70.00 \nClick Here to Register Now!\nWe are proud to partner with ASHHRA to offer this program!  \n \n\nMeet Our Speakers\n  \nChineye Anako\, MPH\, CHES\nRegional Director for Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion\nTrinity Health Of New England\n \nChineye Anako is a public health practitioner whose work has focused on the intersection of public health and health equity solutions.

She began studying midwifery as a teenager after learning about the high infant mortality rate in her city. Though born in Boston\, Massachusetts\, she recognizes her Alabama roots and practices traditional African American healing\, using the laying on of hands and herbs for pregnant and postpartum families. She was called to midwifery at age 15\, when she learned about infant mortality and the granny midwives of the 20th century. Monroe is the keeper of African American birth traditions and postpartum rituals. She has spent over three decades studying the life of the 20th -century African American midwife and traveled internationally\, interviewing\, and shadowing midwives to learn their cultural rituals firsthand. \nUnder Monroe’s leadership\, ICTC increased the number of doulas of color\, Black midwives\, diversified the midwifery workforce\, and challenged systemic racism within the profession. From 2002 to 2015\, she directed the International Black Midwives and Healers Conference and recruited Erykah Badu\, four-time Grammy award-winner\, singer\, songwriter\, and holistic healer\, to become the ICTC International Spokesperson from 2010 to 2015. Monroe also led the Oregon Coalition to Improve Birth Outcomes (OCIBO) in 2011\, investigating the use of doulas to improve birth outcomes and creating the legislative concept HB3311. This work resulted in Medicaid reimbursement for Oregon doulas\, with Oregon leading the national model by being the first state to cover doula services for Medicaid families. In 2002\, Monroe developed a groundbreaking doula-training program as an international model for reducing infant mortality\, increasing the number of doulas of color\, empowering families for informed consent and physiological birth\, and teaching traditional birth and postpartum practices using the legacy of the 20th -century African American midwife\, the SMC Full Circle Doula Birth Companion Training\, LLC. She created Shafia Monroe Consulting/Birthing CHANGE in 2013\, to train health care providers and doulas in cultural competency for working with diverse population in maternal and child health and improve perinatal outcomes. \nMonroe proudly serves as an advisory member of the Oregon Health Authority Office of Equity and Inclusion’s Cultural Competence Continuing Education Advisory Committee\, Oregon Islamic Chaplain Organization\, the Oregon Community Doula Association\, Alabama Birth Equity Committee\, Black Mamas Matter Alliance\, Black Mothers ACTT for Safe Care Initiative\, and a board member of the National Accreditation Council for Black Doula Trainers. \n

SUMMARY:Disparities in Maternal Health: Connecting Community Advocacy to Clinical Practice\, hosted by ACHE of MA\, MHA & MMS
DESCRIPTION:Focus on DHE&I:\nDiversity\, Health Equity\, & Inclusion Best Practices\nWebinar Series \nDisparities in Maternal Health: Connecting Community Advocacy to Clinical Practice \nWednesday\, May 18\, 2022 | 12-12:45 p.m. \nRegister Today!\nRacial inequities in maternal mortality are staggering\, with Black women experiencing mortality rates more than three times that of White women\, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In Massachusetts\, Black women are twice as likely to die from pregnancy or childbirth-related complications. These inequities\, the result of systemic racism in health care\, are unacceptable. Massachusetts passed legislation filed by State Representative Liz Miranda (D-Boston) establishing a commission to make policy recommendations aimed at eliminating racial inequities in maternal health. \nJoin the Massachusetts Medical Society\, the Massachusetts Health & Hospital Association\, and the American College of Healthcare Executives Massachusetts Chapter to learn more about the commission’s recommendations to address racial disparities and promote equity in maternal health outcomes\, including how to connect these policies into clinical practice. This event is also a part of the Medical Society’s annual John Figgis Jewett Lectureship on maternal health.

Christensen\, is a transformative business model that leverages technology to help focus on making products and services more accessible and affordable. In healthcare delivery\, disruptive innovations have the potential to decrease costs while improving both the quality and accessibility of care. Disruptive innovations enable new applications and changes in behaviors. The current thinking with many innovators is a belief that a host of disruptive innovations would have wide implications for payers by shifting payment models to reward precision diagnostic tests and abilities of providers. Several current disruptive innovations like retail clinics\, telemedicine\, medical tourism\, and point-of-care medical payments could make a major difference in how health care is reshaped in the near future. This panel will focus on the role of innovation in the medical marketplace and examples of disruptive innovations that will change lives in health care.\n\n\n11:30am- 1:00pm: Networking Lunch & Membership Activities\n\n\n\n\n1:00pm-2:15pm: Breakout Session\, Powered by Tier 1: Disruption Starts with Empathy-Centered Design – 1.0 Qualified Education\n\nSimple mindset and language shifts go a long way in changing the care we provide. Participants will gain a new mental framework for reimagining how to effect and apply change; process topics with their teams; and begin to more deeply understand which moments can be designed to create joy and alleviate anxiety for caregivers\, patients and their families.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2:15pm-2:30pm: Afternoon Networking Break\n2:30pm-4:00pm: Face to Face Panel Session: Consumer Focused Health Care – 1.5 Face to Face Credits\n\nWhile many healthcare organizations recognize that consumer-centered healthcare is important\, very few are following through on those priorities with innovative and effective strategies. Patients are increasingly choosing less expensive and easier to access options than traditional providers. While traditional providers are working to better engage consumers and compete in this new landscape with more and different competitors\, there are many challenges. This panel discussion will lay the foundation by defining what “consumer focused healthcare” is\, why it is important\, and why it is so difficult to transition to a consumer-focused model\, and explore some innovative and effective strategies.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4:00pm-6:00pm: Reception and Member Awards Presentation\n\n\n\n\nThe chapter has secured rooms at a discounted rate of $269.00 a night at the Encore Boston Harbor\, should you want to come in the night before\, or stay the night of\, to network with members you haven’t seen in a long time.

Labor costs are rising and people to fill the necessary roles are shrinking. This program will look at the staffing challenges through the lens of creative strategies such as shifting working hours in various ways\, creating new types of workers/roles within systems\, improving the educational pipeline and technology solutions. With Massachusetts being an expensive state\, how can health care organizations attract and retain talent to propel their organizations through this challenging time while building a strong talent pipeline? \nPanelists: \n\nModerator: Carmen Kenrich\, DVP\, Strategic Partnerships\, Client Experience Partnerships\, Client Experience Executive at AMN Leadership Solutions\, Merritt Hawkins\nKyle Deskus\, JD\, Associate General Counsel\, Baystate Health\nPatricia M.
