Health Equity Resources for LHINss 86-89

Building Equity-Focused Innovation Bob Gardner August 2010 August 27, 2010

huge number of community and front-line initiatives already addressing equity across province
CHCs especially, community organizations based out of specific ethno-cultural communities
many community providers have established ‘peer health ambassadors’ to provide system navigation, outreach and health promotion services to particular communities
for homeless people:
CAISI database so records are accessible from many providers
travelling psychiatrists, nurses and other providers
Baby and Me passport
Street Health report as CBR into action
but
experience and lessons learned are not being shared systematically
potential of promising interventions is not being realized

to drive equity-focused innovation and effective interventions, we need to be able to:
collate and analyze all the useful intelligence gained from equity-focused planning
capture and share information on local initiatives, and build on local front-line insights
share the resulting knowledge across regions – and beyond
assess the most promising initiatives or directions rigorously
scale up promising initiatives across the province where appropriate
need to create forums and infrastructure for this innovation knowledge management
and need to build equity-focused innovation into incentives and drivers -- cascading from Prov to LHINs to providers
expectation that X% of budget will be devoted to equity-orientated innovation
ear-marked funds for equity innovation

these and further resources on policy directions to enhance health equity, health reform and the social determinants of health are available on our site at http://wellesleyinstitute.com
