Program areas at Essential Hospitals Institute

Grants and healthcare:the Essential hospital Institute ("Institute") continued to address the significant issues facing public Hospitals, safety net organizations, underserved communities, and related health policy issues of national priority. The Institute's grant-supported research expands institutional knowledge on population health, patient-centered care, delivery system transformation, quality performance and improvement, equity, leadership, and health reform implementation. Much of the Institute's grant-funded work was in workforce equity and resilience and combating structural racism. With funding from the robert wood johnson foundation, the Institute continued to facilitate combating structural racism interest group meetings offering peer networking among like-minded leaders from our members, revised our Essential communities website to reflect tools, resources, and programs to combat structural racism, facilitated a 4-hour pre-conference on combating structural racism, participated in an equity learning lab to develop and carry out an action plan to improve equity focusing on our organizational policies, and began the development of a workforce equity toolkit at Essential Hospitals to support the creation of a resilient, inclusive, and equitable workforce. Through a grant from the human resources and services agency, george mason university funded the Institute to disseminate gmu interactive trainings and gain insights from member Hospitals about needs relating to workforce and resilience. Related to combating structural racism, the cvs health foundation continued to fund the Institute to conduct a learning collaborative among member Hospitals to reduce black obstetric mortality rates. This two-year project supports a learning collaborative of 12 member Hospitals seeking to reduce mortality among black obstetric patients. The cvs health foundation is also funding the Institute to conduct three one-year learning collaboratives among member Hospitals to improve access to quality care for people with opioid use disorder, particularly people who are marginalized or discriminated against. This four-year project supports three learning collaboratives between 10 - 12 member Hospitals seeking to improve care access and enhance patient social support. The Institute also received funds from the bristol-myers squibb foundation to combat racial disparities in diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis for cardiovascular disease through peer-to-peer mentorship between selected member Hospitals and a technical panel of cardiovascular disease experts from Essential Hospitals. The kresge foundation funded the Institute to complete a 6-month learning network of member Hospitals to improve performance relating to mitigating climate change. Hospitals received technical assistance, disseminated results through our webinars, and the Institute created a report on results. The kresge foundation funded a follow-on grant to identify resources for member Hospitals related to decarbonization and climate resilience, conduct an interest group on climate resilience and mitigation of climate change, a c-suite convening to support the development of action plans and accountability at the c-suite, and a luncheon at america's Essential Hospitals' annual conference, vital. Finally, funded by the human milk banking association of north america, which the w. k. kellogg foundation funded, the Institute wrote a report on Essential Hospitals' use of human donor milk based on interviews covering how members use donor milk, facilitators and barriers to using donor milk, and lessons learned from donor milk programs.

Leadership development and education:to help safety-net Hospitals and health systems continue their success in serving their communities, the Institute offered an array of educational and member services. These included webinars, conference workshops, distance learning events, professional development programs, and technical assistance via conference calls and webinars. These programs provided forums for members to learn and exchange ideas on how safety-net Hospitals and health systems can address new issues and challenges, in addition to providing vital professional connections and leadership expertise. The fellows program is a 12-month leadership development program designed for rising senior leaders in significant clinical or administrative roles at member Hospitals. The fellows program aims to educate participants on issues that impact Essential Hospitals and provide the necessary skills to lead strategically and advocate for policies and resources that promote the health of vulnerable patients. Each class includes three highly interactive sessions (2.5 days each), a self-assessment, project, site visit, distance learning, networking, and attendance at america's Essential Hospitals' conferences and events.
