Curtis, M.D., MS, Medical Director, Connected Care and Center for Telehealth, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health Dartmouth-Hitchcock Connected Care designed and operationalized eight telehealth service lines to help deliver outstanding care to the region independent of patient location with a focus on rural health care and a secondary goal of keeping care local whenever possible.

Overcoming Workforce Challenges to Ensure Access to Care

Building a digital front door improves patient experience and convenience, while expanding access to health information and more equitable care. Enhanced access to a hospital or health system afforded by self-service digital solutions are particularlyhelpful for patients who experience friction – for example, transportation challenges, difficulty in being away from work, etc. – in receiving care. While these digital interfaces are often thought of as the building blocks of the digital front door, it’s the datapowering what’s behind the door that drives either an optimized experience that drives value for patients and communities or one that falls short.

The Digital Front Door to Expanding Access

The COVID-19 pandemic only exacerbated existing inequities many populations and communities face when it comes not only to accessing care but also housing, food and other critical resources like education and job training. This story slam session highlights how three leading health systems, in partnership with community organizations, are addressing structural inequities in their service areas to improve their patients’ health and standard of living. Speakers: Douglas S. Brown, President, Community Hospitals and Chief Administrative Officer, UMass Memorial Health Taylor Bearden, Partner, Civico Development UMass Memorial Health, in partnership with Civico, a community-focused development organization, is addressing social disadvantage and pervasive inequality by redirecting a portion of its investment portfolio toward housing and other community investments. Adam L. Myers, M.D., MHCM, FACHE, CHCQM, CPHRM, Chief of Population Health, Director, Cleveland Clinic Community Care, Cleveland Clinic Cleveland Clinic shifted its paradigm to see its role in the community through the equity lens and used its Community Health Needs Assessment as a catalyst behind the Clinic’s anchor strategy, “Heal, Hire and Invest.” Thea James, M.D., Vice President of Mission and Associate Chief Medical Officer, Boston Medical Center By participating in the Boston Opportunity System Collaborative, Boston Medical Center set out to reinvent Boston’s jobs ecosystem by supporting residents in specific communities through the training and hiring process and into careers within Boston’s anchor institutions. Moderator: Mital Patel, Senior Director, Innovation Programs and Services, American Hospital Association Center for Health Innovation

Story Slam: Improving Equity beyond Care Delivery

The COVID-19 pandemic and social unrest have highlighted disparities that have long existed within the U.S., and created opportunities to address the root causes of these inequities. Through concentrated efforts to understand mental health and social risk factors, we can work toward a future where everyone has a fair and just opportunity to be as healthy as possible. In this fireside chat, hear how collecting, analyzing and taking action on data related to health risk is key to holistically caring for all patients.

Actionable Approaches to Addressing Health Equity through SDOH

The potential for personalization in health care extends far beyond n of 1 treatment options. Personalization as a concept— using data to guide a highly tailored care experience —holds great promise for improving health equity. In this fireside chat, hear how the use of workflows around social determinants of health (SDOH) data in patient care are maturing and present an opportunity to better support structurally marginalized populations while moving toward increased health equity.
