Related Projects
During the pandemic the Center developed relationships and met regularly with the CEOs, CMOs, and Supply Chain leaders in the major healthcare delivery systems in Maricopa County around the topic of emergency preparedness and resilience. After action reports focused on Readiness (skills, training, supplies); Quality of the Response (reserve workforce and supplies); Surge Management; Recovery; and Learning to improve for the future. This is an ongoing body of work with current focus on post-pandemic Learning particularly in the areas of supply chain and workforce.
The ultimate goal, as the lessons from the pandemic and resultant changes are implemented, is development of a cross-disciplinary Healthcare Council that functions as a trusted partnership to share data, problem solve, discuss challenges, and formulate best practices and approaches to high-value patient care and community health.
