In listening to our patients, families, partners and our staff, we continually evolve how we integrate EID into our organization’s infrastructure approach to strategy. Our CNE, Bridget Williams, DNP, MSN, RN, NEA-BC, has made an ongoing commitment to treat equity as a core value. Rather than on its own silo, it has been considered a perspective to how we provide nursing care. This slide shows a component selection of our SF 2021 – 2025 Nursing Strategic Plan. It was developed collaboratively between all our PCS directors and nursing practice leadership to keep equity principles woven into how we provide and measure care success.
As we’ve put a spotlight on how we will bring ethics of justice and care for our patients and families, in San Francisco we’ve put a similar focus on our staff. This was the first year within our Nursing Skills Days that we wanted to elicit and highlight ethical treatment to one another as a core training competency. We co-developed a peer-led microaggression training in collaboration with our Equity Program Manager. It was through our Taskforce Committee, with our workforce’s experiences, we as a collective group developed a micro aggression training that would empower our nursing staff to facilitate and engage with their peers. This was instrumental as our nurses led their peers in safe learning and perspective in developing their equitable leadership skills. It has been a success in how we’ve put our staff at the center of our EID work. Claudia Uribe, Clinical RN, presented implicit vs explicit bias presentation at RN skills day, MCH Physician Residents, nurse’s week and Professional Governance Council.
Equally, as we’ve challenged ourselves in how we bring ethical treatment as a training development area, we have also been giving focus of how we approach Social Determinants of Health. Spearheading an effort called Continuity Group, this group takes into consideration of how we look, assess and share information of our patients from a Social Determinants of Health perspective from outpatient to inpatient setting
Through strategies such as multidisciplinary team rounds, called Hello Rounds, and focusing on BIPOCC Care Experience Performance, PY24 (to date) we have improved on RN and MD Consistency in Information and Care for our BIPOCC* patient populations by a positive change percent of 11.52%
(PY23 = 56.22%, PY24 = 67.74%).
