Murphy says the hospital system’s governing board will be presented with benchmarks and be responsible for checking in with leadership about them.
Community Health Network president and CEO Bryan Mills says of patients, “How do we better know the person that’s in front of us? How do we better know their circumstances?”
The health systems, which have worked closely together to address the COVID-19 pandemic, have set a number of goals. Among them:
Address and reduce discrimination among team members, patients and guests.
Improve the demographic makeup of organization leaders, with a particular focus on people of color.
Improve the equity of care by regularly measuring, monitoring and improving the care provided to underserved populations.
Identify, research, understand and address racial disparities in healthcare access and outcomes.
Work with other community organizations to develop, endorse, and provide support for creative solutions to social determinants of health, especially affordable housing, food security and workforce development.
