Agenda
| 7:45 am | Registration |
| 8:30 am | Welcome |
| 8:45 am | Equity in the Finance and Delivery of Health Care: Are We Asking the Right Questions? Benjamin Anderson, MBA, MHCDS, CEO, Kearny County Hospital, Lakin, KS As the US grapples with how to develop sustainable legislation that optimizes health outcomes for all citizens, communities face additional challenges. First, insurers are still largely paying for high-cost inpatient and emergency services with very little investment in population health. Consequently, health care delivery systems often lack the basic primary care and community-based infrastructure to properly manage the health of their populations. Through a series of stories from a frontier hospital in one of the most culturally diverse and medically underserved areas in the US, this session describes barriers to equity in health care and offers practical, applicable tools toward effective and sustainable equity in health care delivery.

| 9:45 am | Break IHA Advanced Leadership Academy participants have been working on projects for their respective hospitals and as part of their graduation are providing poster presentations. Learn about the projects and talk with Academy class members during today’s breaks. |
| 10 am | Enhancing the Health of Our Communities Alisahah J. Cole, MD, Chief Community Impact Officer, Atrium Health, Charlotte, NC Research shows clinical care only has a small impact on a patient’s overall well-being. In today’s value-based pay environment, it is important for hospitals, particularly those servicing complex and underserved populations, to have a better understanding of social determinants of health needs. This session will share innovative ways health care organizations have responded to the needs of their communities and how executive leaders can play a role. Participants will be inspired and motivated to drive changes within their own communities.

| 11 am | Break |
| 11:15 am | When Good Isn’t Good Enough: How Unconscious Bias Harms Patients Despite Our Good Intentions Gloria Goins, MBA, JD, Former Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, Bon Secours Mercy Health System, Baltimore, MD The effects of unconscious bias can be seen in society and across all industries. But in the health care industry, the need to mitigate it is particularly important. Evidenced-based impacts of unconscious bias on safety, quality and mortality show that patients are unintentionally put at risk. Cross-cultural competency is a “must have” skill as we define what it means to address, support and manage the ever-changing US population. In this session, participants will learn practical actions to reduce the effects of unconscious bias in operations.

Participants will be able to immediately assess their organization’s current approaches related to diversity and inclusion, determine whether they align with best practices and leave better equipped to create a long-term vision and strategy for a more inclusive environment.
