Why administering in healthcare is all about relationships. ‘’…it comes down to putting forward a phenomenal mission, vision and values, helping people to understand you are authentic – and it always comes back to the patient.’’
The three strategies to implement a successful SDOH initiative:
- Start with the data. What can be done differently?
- Bring an interdisciplinary team together.
- Bring in your partners and don’t be afraid to reach out, ‘’…sometimes we forget what’s outside the four walls of our hospital or healthcare system.’’
Why you need to listen and respond to your community to really understand their needs because ‘’when it came to the community, we still weren’t doing enough.’’(hint: you need to engage with the marginalized on the frontlines).
