Lessons Learned about Developing Faith and Public Health Partnerships to Address Health Disparities.

Community Health Equity Res Policy

January 2024

Behavioral and Policy Sciences Department, RAND Corporation, Santa Monica, CA, USA.

Partnerships between public health and faith-based organizations draw on the strengths of both sectors to achieve a shared interest in promoting health and reducing disparities. However, information about implementation of faith and public health partnerships-particularly those involving diverse racial-ethnic groups-is limited. This paper reports on findings from qualitative interviews conducted with 16 public health and congregational leaders around the country as part of the early phase of the development of a faith and public health partnership to address health disparities in Los Angeles, CA.

Katie Belfi, JD, CEM, is Founder and Principal Consultant, Belfi Consulting, LLC, Austin, TX.

Based on the experiences and lessons of its first COVID-19 patient surge in spring of 2020 (Wave 1), the New York hospital community recognized the importance of preparation and coordination for the anticipated winter 2020-2021 surge (Wave 2). This case study describes the coordination function of the Greater New York Hospital Association in downstate New York during the second wave, carried out using 4 key elements: enhanced situational awareness coupled with proactive outreach, partnerships between independent hospitals and health systems, frequent coordination meetings with hospitals, and routine coordination meetings with the Governor's Office and the New York State Department of Health. Given the existing relationships, functions, and support structures of hospital associations, this type of collaborative structure between state government and an association can be valuable in any situation that broadly impacts a state's healthcare community.

Within weeks of New York State's first confirmed case of COVID-19, New York City became the epicenter of the nation's COVID-19 pandemic. With more than 80,000 COVID-19 hospitalizations during the first wave alone, hospitals in downstate New York were forced to adapt existing procedures to manage the surge and care for patients facing a novel disease. Given the unprecedented surge, effective patient load balancing-moving patients from a hospital with diminishing capacity to another hospital within the same health system with relatively greater capacity-became chief among the capabilities required of New York health systems.

Objective: The aim of the study was to present: (1) physiatric care delivery amid the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, (2) challenges, (3) data from the first cohort of post-COVID-19 inpatient rehabilitation facility patients, and (4) lessons learned by a research consortium of New York and New Jersey rehabilitation institutions.

Design: For this clinical descriptive retrospective study, data were extracted from post-COVID-19 patient records treated at a research consortium of New York and New Jersey rehabilitation inpatient rehabilitation facilities (May 1-June 30, 2020) to characterize admission criteria, physical space, precautions, bed numbers, staffing, employee wellness, leadership, and family communication. For comparison, data from the Uniform Data System and eRehabData databases were analyzed.
