Fostering Inclusion of Patients and Employees with Disabilities

Panel discussion on how healthcare leaders can strengthen equity of care and foster inclusion of patients and employees with disabilities.
About this Event

The fundamental objectives of the healthcare management profession are to maintain or enhance the overall quality of life, dignity, and well-being of every individual needing healthcare service and to create an equitable, accessible, effective, and efficient health system. Healthcare executives have an obligation to act in certain ways that will merit the trust, confidence and respect of healthcare professionals and the public. In part, healthcare executives must promote a culture of inclusivity that seeks to prevent discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age or disability to their employees and the community that they serve. In the patient care setting and employment settings, managing a more diverse patient population and workforce means gaining more perspectives on how to manage challenges and achieve organizational success.

This panel discussion will focus on how healthcare leaders can strengthen equity of care and foster inclusion of patients and employees with disabilities by addressing federal laws and mandates, providing the necessary accommodations, enhancing the quality of care and patient experience, and creating tools and resources.
