Building Research Capacity Workshop: Leading Research During A Crisis

Work with the pandemic is already infused with science. The other crisis of health inequity (and racial justice) is not a new crisis, but they are linked—twin crises soon to become twin long-term challenges. And related research areas are swirled into the mix as well, e.g. population health and improving the level of trust and confidence in the research enterprise by minority and disadvantaged populations. After an orientation to the content and process facilitated breakout sessions will take place across a range of these content areas (COVID research, health equity research, etc.). The groups reconvene for closing reflections on what they heard and what they will do. The desired outcome is actions participants will take in their own departments.

Repairing the Past: Leveraging the Political Determinants of Health 

Speaker: Daniel Dawes (Director of Satcher Health Leadership Institute at Morehouse School of Medicine)

Now, more than ever, political decisions (on both sides of the aisle) are affecting our social conditions and have become the root cause of our nation’s declining health. Reduced life expectancy, worsening health outcomes, health inequity, and declining healthcare options are the direct result of social drivers that include poor environmental conditions, inadequate transportation, unsafe neighborhoods, lack of healthy food options, and more. Drawing upon his new book, The Political Determinants of Health, and firsthand experience shaping major federal policies including the Affordable Care Act, Daniel Dawes reviews the history of efforts to address these issues and the seemingly inseparable interconnection of politics and health. Daniel looks at health through the political lens so we can begin to partner, build capacity and create change. He also presents a novel non-partisan, multidisciplinary framework for addressing the systemic barriers that prevent the U.S. from becoming what it could be: the healthiest nation in the world.

Daniel E. Dawes, J.D., a widely respected lawyer, author, scholar, educator, and leader in the health equity, health reform, and mental health movements, is director of the Satcher Health Leadership Institute at Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia and a professor of health law, policy and management. He is also the co-founder of the Health Equity Leadership and Exchange Network (HELEN), which is a nationwide network of over 2000 governmental and non-governmental leaders and scholars focused on bolstering leadership and the exchange of research, information, and solutions to advance evidence-based health equity-focused policies and programs. Dawes's research focuses on the drivers of health inequities among under-resourced, vulnerable, and marginalized communities and is the pioneer of a new approach to examining inequities, the political determinants of health. He brings a forward-thinking, inclusive, and multidisciplinary approach to health policy, authoring two groundbreaking books, 150 Years of ObamaCare and The Political Determinants of Health, published by Johns Hopkins University Press, which have received critical acclaim and rave reviews.

Learning and Unlearning: Addressing Structural Barriers to URM Faculty Achievement

Moderators: Tricia Elliot

Panelists: Angela Echiverri, Cleveland Piggot, Byron Jasper

Our country is at a moment of heightened awareness around the need to call out racism and move towards equity in every aspect of our society. This awakening has led to an examination of how structural racism is at play across the medical education pipeline, including its impact on diverse representation in academic family medicine. In this panel discussion, URM faculty will share their personal experiences and reflections; call out mechanisms by which structural racism impacts the diversity of academic medicine leadership, and propose defined and innovative means to address and overcome these systemic barriers. A facilitated discussion will be followed by an open question-and-answer session. At the end of the presentation, audience participants will be asked to share one commitment they will bring back to their home institution to move towards racial equity and social justice.

(Care delivery & health, Workforce recruitment &retention, Learner recruitment & training) , so the DIHE committee session will: 1) Incorporate the essence of the antiracism action plan in the context of the 3 pillars for DIHE work—in a worksheet that invites people to form action steps. 2) Engage participants in breakouts to articulate on the worksheet what they are ready to do in their own departments. Participants will be at different levels of experience, readiness, and stages of work. The session (and breakout facilitators) will be aware and make sure everyone’s needs or starting places are respected.

Primary Care in the Current and Post-COVID Era - What The Pandemic Taught Us About Our Role in Health and Health Equity

12:00 PM - 4:00 PM

 

12:00 pm – 12:30 EST

 

What We Have Learned from the COVID-19 Stress Test on Primary Care

Speaker: Rebecca Etz

This presentation will share context for and data from the Larry A. Green Center “Quick COVID-19 Primary Care Survey” of primary care providers around the country, administered weekly since March 2020, as well as “Quick COVID-19 Primary Care Patient Survey,” administered weekly since May 2020. These surveys have been crucial to understanding the rapidly changing landscape over 2020 around how US primary care practices have been able to respond to COVID-19, as well as the impact on the provider-patient relationship. It will describe general trends, how the data has been used in policy thus far, how it relates to other recent disruptions, and what this data means for the future of primary care.

Q & A with Rebecca Etz

 

Rebecca S. Etz, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor of Family Medicine and Population Health at Virginia Commonwealth University, and Co-Director of the Larry A. Green Center - Advancing Primary Health Care for the Public Good. Dr. Etz has deep expertise in qualitative research methods and design, primary care measures, practice transformation, and engaging stakeholders. Her career has been dedicated to learning the heart and soul of primary care through three main lines of inquiry: 1) bridging the gap between the business of medicine and the lived experience of the human condition, 2) making visible the principles and mechanisms upon which the unique strength of primary care is based, and 3) exposing the unintended, often damaging consequences of policy and transformation efforts applied to primary care but not informed by primary care concepts. As a member of the VCU Department of Family Medicine and Population Health, and previous co-director of the ACORN PBRN, Dr. Etz has been the Principal Investigator of several federal and foundation grants, contracts, and pilots, all directed towards making the pursuit of health a humane experience. Recent research activities have included studies in primary care measures, behavioral health, simulation modeling, care team models, and adaptive use of health technologies. Dr. Etz currently leads the fielding of a weekly survey regarding the response to and impact of COVID-19 on US primary care practices. Dr. Etz currently serves on the National Academies of Medicine consensus study, “Implementing High-Quality Primary Care.”

Family Medicine Departments as Core Members of Partnerships for Health and Health Equity

Speaker: Lloyd Michener

COVID-19 has shifted the US healthcare system, highlighting the impact of racism and the limitations of fee for service models. While the next model is far from clear, core elements are visible in communities that have responded effectively to COVID, and include partnerships between communities, academic health centers, public health, and other agencies, such as state Medicaid, supported by data systems that bridge silos and support targeted interventions. Primary care, and especially family medicine, can have a central role in these models, as a trusted source of care, advice, and leadership. All elements of these models are already in place and scaling up, and examples, common challenges, and lessons learned will be shared, so that departments can both prepare for and assist in this transformation.
