Here are the four actions for hospitals and medical centers to consider:
1. Make equity a strategic priority within the institution, leveraging policies and practices that embrace antiracism.
2. Use a social intervention framework, such as CMS’ Accountable Health Communities Model, to help identify patient population needs.
3. Create a strategic plan for community outreach using the organization’s culture, mission, vision and values.
4. Support the local workforce by filling entry-level positions with community members and providing advancement opportunities.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
