Minda Hart’s The Memo serves as a powerful tool for women of color in nursing, offering practical strategies for overcoming obstacles and securing leadership roles. As the nursing profession continues to evolve, the insights from Hart’s book can guide women of color in not only finding their seats at the table but also shaping the future of healthcare through our leadership. By embracing the principles outlined in The Memo, women of color in nursing can navigate their careers with greater confidence and purpose. As we strive for a more inclusive and equitable healthcare system, let’s leverage these insights to create a profession where every nurse has the opportunity to thrive and lead. To learn more about Minda Hart’s work and how her insights can be applied to your career, I highly recommend reading The Memo. It’s a valuable resource & a must have in The Nursing Hood Community.

🌟 Celebrating Advocacy & Reflections on a Milestone Day 🌟   Yesterday marked a significant milestone for the HIMSS state chapter, and it felt monumental. As a healthcare consultant striving to make impactful changes, it was not just another day for me. It also served as a vivid reminder of my journey and aspirations.   You see, from an early age, I've been deeply fascinated by our world leaders' capabilities to incite change. This passion once had me contemplating a move to Austin, envisioning a future as a lobbyist advocating for comprehensive healthcare reform. My love for Austin remains undiminished despite my career taking a slightly different path.   This experience symbolizes the essence of advocacy. It's about finding your voice, aligning with causes that matter, and realizing that the journey to change is a blend of community collaborations. Let this be your sign: the road might seem long and the challenges daunting, but the impact of advocacy in shaping a better future is undeniably profound.   Together, we can make a difference. Thank you to so many HIMSS members who made my day extraordinary. Laura Kincheloe, Joe Chapa, Lee Ann Kincaid-Wood, D'Wan Grimes, Lilly Ramirez Timon, Dr. Ronke Komolafe, Melinda Schmidt, and many more.   #HealthcareInnovation #Advocacy #TechnologyInHealthcare #MakingADifference #HIMSS #Leadership

We are excited to share a significant milestone in our efforts to advance #healthequity for Black women in Hamilton County. This week, we are finalizing the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for our Community Health Workers (CHWs). These SOPs are designed to standardize and optimize the delivery of health services across various settings, ensuring consistency and quality of care. Our commitment to policy and systems change is at the heart of this initiative. By developing comprehensive SOPs, we aim to create sustainable improvements in healthcare access and outcomes for Black women. Under the guidance of our dedicated team, including the invaluable insights from our award-winning Program Manager and Community Health Worker, Tiffany George, the SOPs will serve as a robust framework for CHWs working in hospitals, public schools, court systems, and other non-traditional settings. 🎯 #GOALS #CHWIntegration: Ensure Community Health Workers (CHWs) are integrated into both traditional and non-traditional settings. #SOPDevelopment: Develop Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for CHWs in hospital settings. 📈 #PROGRESS The SOPs are in the final stages of development, with input from healthcare professionals and community stakeholders to ensure they meet the highest standards. Once finalized, we will begin training our CHWs, with the goal of full implementation within the next quarter. 📣 #STAYINFORMED Support our mission by staying informed about our health initiatives and the critical role of CHWs in advancing health equity for #Blackwomen in Hamilton County. - #allincincinnati #policyagenda #policychange #systemchange #CHW #communityhealthworkers #SOP #standardoperatingprocedures #nontraditionalsettings

Enough political science. How is the science different in BC. Time to call for a review and resignations of those that put ego before people. Read the latest column from Renee Merrifield

Excellent article on integration. Important insights and experiences to acknowledge and learn from. ‘Expectations have often been set too high and the opportunities for solid, incremental change have been underestimated. While incremental improvement may not lead to transformational change and innovation, it will lay the foundations in terms of relationships, systems and processes and in tackling some of the barriers to change’.
