"If we don't care enough, trust cannot be built" words shared by Sister Norma Pimentel during the Accelerator Conference. Thank you Sister Norma for your inspiring work and the passion with which you have served and are serving our communities and borders. Health equity begins and ends with deep engagement and understanding of those who are most impacted by the issues healthcare seeks to address. Our healthcare needs are not fully served when systems fail to connect, integrate and adapt to the conditions of the populations it seeks to serve. Today at the Accelerator Conference with AltaCair, Western Governors University and other healthcare professionals and community members this conversation on how to best collaborate and activate shared values and technology.

Cincinnati Children's Hospital recently made world news by achieving the No. 1 ranking for best Children's Hospitals, unseating Boston's long-held position for the first time in almost a decade. This accomplishment is a significant milestone for Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, and it didn't come overnight. This type of transformation requires a deliberate and sustained pursuit of excellence. The hospital attributes their success to a focused commitment on these specific areas: *Continuous Improvement: Engaging in learning, small-scale experimentation, benchmarking, and "being the best at getting better." *Employee Empowerment: Actively seeking staff input, providing opportunities for growth, and fostering a supportive environment. *Patient and Family Engagement: Collaborating with patients and families to improve processes and outcomes. *Narrowing Health Disparities: Taking concrete and actionable steps to achieve health equity. It's a powerful reminder that success in healthcare is about improving the patient experience and building a positive organizational culture. It stands as an example for all healthcare leaders to reflect on our own practices as we strive for excellence in patient-centered care. #healthcare #innovation #healthequity #healthcareinnovation #healthcaremanagement
