Hospitals, health systems, pharmaceutical companies, device makers, and payers have a responsibility to provide high-quality, innovative, cost-effective care and services to their patients and communities. The governing boards of these institutions provide the vision, strategy, and resources and choose the best leaders to achieve those outcomes. Healthcare boards can play a vital role in ensuring that resources are distributed where they are most needed. The need is great in communities of racial and ethnic diversity, which are almost always underserved-a preexisting condition that came into stark relief during the COVID-19 pandemic...

Amid many challenges, health systems and hospitals are striving to improve the health of their communities with varying degrees of commitment. While many have recognized the importance of the social determinants of health, most have not responded aggressively to the global climate crisis that is sickening and killing millions of people worldwide-and getting worse. As the largest healthcare provider in New York, Northwell Health is committed to keeping our communities well in the most socially responsible way...

Effective leadership and governance are at the heart of creating and maintaining resilient health systems. COVID-19 exposed a plethora of issues in its wake, most notably the need to plan for resilience. Facing threats that swirl around climate, fiscal solvency, and emerging infectious diseases, healthcare leaders are challenged to think broadly on issues that affect operational viability. The global healthcare community has offered numerous approaches, frameworks, and criteria to assist leaders in creating strategies for better health governance, security, and resilience...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
David Mann
People often equate "Lean" with the tools that are used to create efficiencies and standardize processes. However, implementing tools represents at most 20 percent of the effort in Lean transformations. The other 80 percent is expended on changing leaders' practices and behaviors, and ultimately their mindset. Senior management has an essential role in establishing conditions that enable 80 percent of the effort to succeed. Their involvement includes establishing governance arrangements that cross divisional boundaries, supporting a thorough, long-term vision of the organization's value-producing processes, and holding everyone accountable for meeting Lean commitments...

As industry consolidation leads to a growing number of large new healthcare delivery networks, patients and their clinicians are losing the important human-centric and relationship-based nature of medical care. The leadership of Hackensack Meridian Health (HMH), a New Jersey-based network of hospitals, research center, and medical school, made an organizational commitment to reverse such loss and restore the social nature of medicine. To attain that goal, HMH engaged both clinicians and administrators to confirm the demand for change, foster a collaborative culture design, and address the unique nature of the individual components in the HMH network...

Healthcare can benefit immensely from implementing an Agile mindset. Specifically, Agile principles of value-driven delivery, adaptive planning, and continuous improvement can exert a positive impact on projects-especially amid the constant changes in laws, evidence-based practices, and technology in healthcare. The best way to apply Agile is to combine the discipline and structure of a traditional linear model with the adaptability of iterative development. That mix allows for certain controls but with the flexibility for stakeholders to provide input and call for adjustments at different stages...

Social determinants of health (SDOHs) are the "conditions in the environments where people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age that affect a wide range of health, functioning, and quality-of-life outcomes and risks" (Healthy People 2030 2021). These conditions include economic stability, education access and quality, healthcare access and quality, neighborhood and built environment, and social and community context. Ultimately, social determinants affect health status and outcomes to a greater degree than direct clinical care...

Many police departments have ride-along programs in which community residents accompany police officers in the field. Community organizers in one Cleveland, Ohio, neighborhood took that concept and flipped it to create a "reverse ride-along" program. During a reverse ride-along, police officers take part in community tours and dialogues to learn more about the area they serve and explore issues involving trust and trauma. In 2019, the reverse ride-along program added medical care providers from St. Vincent Charity Medical Center...

For too long, healthcare disparities have negatively affected underrepresented groups in urban areas throughout the United States. Disparities in care and outcomes related to social determinants were known, and efforts were made to address them. Effective change for all moved up to top priority in the wake of COVID-19's arrival, police brutality, social unrest, and the murders of Black Americans, including George Floyd. Henry Ford Health (HFH), working with leading local community organizations, immediately pledged to address social and racial injustices...

Like many communities across the United States, St. Louis, Missouri, faces stark inequities in health outcomes, including wellness, quality of life, and life expectancy. These inequities are the result of social systems and policies that have robbed generations of St. Louisans of opportunity. BJC HealthCare's (BJC's) commitment to becoming a catalyst for community health by helping to eliminate health disparities led to the launch of its community health improvement strategy. This article details the community-driven and evidence-informed process that BJC used to create a multiyear, proactive approach to addressing the social and economic factors that are the root causes of health inequities...

In November 2021, after more than a year of investigating the racial health disparities across its organization, Boston Medical Center launched the Health Equity Accelerator, a system-wide approach to holistically address the root causes of health inequities among people of different races and ethnicities and speed improvements in health outcomes. This article discusses lessons learned during the institution's process of discovery, shares examples of the work to dismantle a structural narrative that impedes health justice, and outlines interventions that can be applied to other healthcare systems across the United States...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Emily E Wadhwani
At their core, credit ratings are holistic assessments of relative credit risk, inclusive of both quantitative and qualitative factors. Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations have always been implicitly incorporated in credit rating methodology as components of a hospital or health system's wider performance. More recently, however, ESG effects have been explicitly identified. While social and governance considerations are important to credit ratings, the impact of environmental factors on rating outcomes in the healthcare sector continues to expand exponentially...
