Health and Racial Equity: How Integrator Learning Lab Participants Moved from Concept to Practice

June 17, 2021 by Kate Blackburn

Between January and September of 2020, nine population networks from across the country participated in Nemours’ Integrator Learning Lab; a learning-and-action collaborative in which multi-sector teams (including health care organizations) working on shared population health goals have an opportunity to receive self-directed resources, coaching, and technical assistance on issues presenting challenges to their network. The 2020 Integrator Learning Lab focused on strengthening use of integrative roles and functions within cross-sector networks. Since “Continuous Use of a Health Equity Lens” is a category within Nemours framework of essential integrative activities, it was a focal area for coaching and technical assistance in the Learning Lab.

Rising Together: Population Health Networks and the COVID-19 Pandemic

Community Health Improvement Week 2020 (June 6-12) is a time to celebrate and honor those working in partnership to improve the health and well-being of individuals and communities. This year, as our nation moves further toward recovery and rebuilding after the COVID-19 pandemic, the American Hospital Association is highlighting three themes during Community Health Improvement Week:

  • Reflect on health disparities illuminated by the pandemic and consider further actions needed to improve the health and well-being of all people.
  • Renew commitment to community health improvement, including working with cross-sector partners to better serve our communities.
  • Rise Together to strengthen our communities through collaborative and creative work and investment in our neighborhoods and one another.

In this blog post, Nemours Children’s Health System offers reflections from participants in the Nemours 2020 Integrator Learning Lab on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the focus, functioning, and sustainability of their population health networks. We share these responses as an example of the Rise Together theme; interview responses illustrate the ability of strong population health networks to pivot in times of emergency to meet new demands. We believe many of the lessons learned from our partners are valuable to the field as we collectively try to understand the urgency of this moment; and the opportunity it creates to change the conversation on social determinants of health and cross-sector networks that are working to change systems and advance racial and health equity on an on-going basis.

From Crisis to Opportunity: Creating a Future Where Children Can Thrive in America

The COVID-19 pandemic has profound and likely long-lasting impacts on children, youth and families. It has created and exacerbated negative impacts across every aspect of life: mental and physical health, suicidal ideation, learning loss, food insecurity, poverty, a diminished childcare sector, housing insecurity and homelessness, skyrocketing youth unemployment, and growing racial and economic inequities. The American Rescue Plan (P.L. 117-2) makes critical down payments to address these deep challenges and support the resilience of children and youth. The American Families Plan proposes additional, once in a generation investments in children and youth. To most effectively implement the provisions in the American Rescue Plan and build out a bold agenda that can successfully optimize equity, health, and well-being for children and youth over time, we need coordinated, sustained federal leadership.

Integrative Activities: What Are They & What Value Do They Bring to Population Health Networks?

Integrative Activities: What Are They & What Value Do They Bring to Population Health Networks?

Integrative Activities are the governance, oversight, and administrative functions that enable population health networks to carry out tasks and strategies related to the network’s shared population health goals. Like an engine, integrative activities propel networks forward.

Over the last two years, Nemours has been exploring the ways integrative activities can be used to strengthen population health networks. This has included revisiting the framework of integrative activities Nemours presented in 2012 and understanding the value of strategic use of integrative activities.

Nemours Children’s Health applauds the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which was passed by Congress earlier today. The legislation helps make children safer from gun violence by including provisions for mental health services, school safety, and other reforms.

Thanks to Dr. Archilla and @clubforfuture, our patients in Orlando have created postcards sent to space! We've already delivered over 200, with more on the way. Postcards are sent on a @blueorigin rocket and returned to patients stamped, "Flown to Space." #EarthNeedsSpace 🚀
