11/09/21 • 54 min

Part of the huge job in successfully building healthy communities lies in accurately identifying behaviors that lead to breakdowns which impede progress. Episode II will explore co-work processes which enable organizations to effectively build and maintain internal trust; while also examining models of coalition development that map targeted, evaluative measures, which create effective collaborations and cultures of trust.
Highlights of the Episode

In public health, and public health, it's essential to have trust between those who provide services and those who are consumers of services

In the line of in working with organ procurement organizations and hospitals and physicians, you know, ultimately, our focus is on these families that have lost a loved one

Trust and integrity, that, for me is foundational trust means everything

Trust is woven into every aspect of what we do

You can tell who people are pretty much in the first 10 seconds

It's not about being successful in your organization, it's about being successful with people

It is making sure that you can give everything that you have of yourself, to help them and that gaining something in return

We have to break down those words and concepts, and perhaps shape them in a way that's culturally appropriate and sound for our community

If you go into a hospital, and your expectation is for your loved ones life to be saved, and you don't know that they have died, and there has been times where the conversation of organ donation has happened prematurely of a person dying

I started that conversation with my daughter and family. It's in my advanced directive that I'm an organ donor

Trust is always talking to that person where they are without any assumptions without trying to push them into a box or category

Transforming Trust Factors: From Inception Through Breakdowns to Breakthroughs

“As leaders, as neighbors, as colleagues, it is time to turn to one another, to engage in the intentional search for human goodness. In our meetings and deliberations, we can reach out and invite in those we have excluded. We can recognize that no one person or leader has the answer, that we need everybody's creativity to find our way through this strange new world.”
- Margaret Wheatley. [Remembering Human Goodness, Shambala Sun, September 1999]
Trust is a two-way street. Each healthcare servant has the family trust and cooperation at stake. Lack of trust creates inconsistency in the delivery of care and influences patient family choices.
Episode one we will explore how medical ethics influences trust as well as govern patient and family rights; and to what extent does multicultural competency influence organizational approaches toward a more dynamic and inclusive culture. We will also seek to understand the underlying factors which erode trust and how to transform these dynamics at their inception and from breakdowns to breakthroughs.

Systemic Inequities in Population Health | Examining Social Determinants Advancing Transplant Equity

“To overcome the challenge of special interests that work against the conditions that create health, we need to extend the sphere of what we talk about when we talk about health so that our conversation includes factors like money, power, love, hate, culture, the environment, and politics.”
Well: What We Need to Talk About When We Talk About Health (Sandro Galea, 2019)
As the United States faces unparalleled challenges due to COVID-19, racial disparities in health and healthcare have once again taken center stage. If effective interventions to address racial disparities in transplantation, including those magnified by COVID-19, are to be designed and implemented at the national level, it is first critical to understand the complex mechanisms by which structural, institutional, interpersonal, and internalized racism influence the presence of racial disparities in healthcare and transplantation.
Policies that foster inequities at all levels (from organization to community to county, state, and nation) are critical drivers of structural inequities. The social, environmental, economic, and cultural determinants of health are the terrain on which structural inequities produce health inequities. These multiple determinants are the conditions in which people live, including access to good food, water, and housing; the quality of schools, workplaces, and neighborhoods; and the composition of social networks and nature of social relations.
Profound Conversations views racism not as an attribute of minority groups; rather, as an aspect of the social context and is linked with the differential power relations among racial and ethnic groups. Most studies of racism are based on African American samples; however, other populations may be at risk for manifestations of racism that differ from the African American experience. Asians, Hispanics, and, more recently, Arabs and Muslims are subject to similar inequitable opportunities in health and health care.
