our ability to attract and retain diverse
talent, such as annual performance reviews,
performance management/disciplinary
action outcomes, and talent
calibration and succession planning.
Cora-Bramble: We
track enterprisewide
DEI progress on several fronts:
patient health equity, supplier diversity,
minority faculty advancement,
quality outcomes and bias reports.
Additionally, both the annual employee
engagement (separate from
the Diversity Engagement Survey)
and clinician well-being surveys contain
specific DEI questions which we
analyze and track. Lastly, we are also
tracking the diversity of applicants and
participants of our in-house Quality

potential bias.
Negrón-McDaniel: The Stand Against
Racism, Stand for Health Equity pillars
are designed to encompass all intertwined
aspects of our organization and
shared work; help us identify ways to
make antiracism and equity a priority
in each of them; and provide lenses we
can use to evaluate ourselves and our
progress. Our dashboard for these pillars
is organized by three types of outcomes:
patient-related outcomes, employee/institution-related
outcomes
and community outcomes. Our goals
in each area are tracked quarterly and
visually represented on the hospital's
intranet for all staff to see.
What measures matter most?
Goepferd: The feedback we get back
from patient families on their care journey
with us and from our employees on
their work experience are critical to informing
our decisions and ensuring we
are taking the necessary steps to stay
true to Children's Minnesota's vision
of being every family's essential partner
in raising healthier kids. We want
Children's Minnesota to be a place
where all families know and trust their
kids will get the best possible care. We
want to be an employer of choice for diverse
talent who know they are valued
and belong as a part of the Children's
Minnesota family.

Negrón-McDaniel: Health equity and
achieving the best outcomes for children
of all backgrounds and identities
regardless of ability to pay has
always been central to the mission of
Nationwide Children's Hospital. Our
actions today are on a broader scale,
but the needs of families we serve are
the same. We will always continue to
better ourselves to provide the best
possible environment for our employees
and best possible care for our patients
and their families. This is what
we do and who we are-it always has
been and always will be.
