Advancing Racial Health Equity through Community Engagement

Location: Online

Registration Deadline: November 07, 2022

Overview

This webinar is complimentary to all HAP members as part of the association’s Racial Health Equity Learning Action Network. Although there is no fee for members, you must register to attend.

Many health care organizations lack a formal way to deeply understand and evaluate diverse patient and family experiences. However, understanding care experiences of patients and families from minority racial and ethnic groups is essential to improving pervasive health disparities and to making health care more equitable.

A consumer advisory board (CAB) is an effective method for encouraging community members to have a more active role in their health care while enhancing care delivery methods for health systems. During this webinar leaders from two leading health care organizations will share key considerations for hospitals on how to successfully convene and maintain a consumer advisory board and strategies for a broader community engagement model to advance health equity.

Objectives

During this webinar you will learn:

  • What a well-designed CAB looks like, including steps for laying the ground work, recruiting members, supporting meaningful participation, reducing barriers for participation, and building trust
  • How CABs can inform the development of more effective programs, services, and community relationships
  • Case examples from organizations working in partnership with community stakeholders to improve racial health equity
  • Approaches to engage the diverse voices and input of the patients and families you serve
