Learning Objectives: • Discuss how burnout and uncertainty about the future of health care represent both challenges and opportunities to co-create and co-cultivate inspiring work environments. • Explore best practices and lessons from Denver Health’s recruitment efforts working in youth programs as part of their Pre-Health Pipeline Programs to impact positive development and build the health care workforce. • Learn lessons from “The Listening Project,” a human-centered design approach that amplified patient voice as a catalyst for transforming clinical care.

Annotation: In this webinar, members of the National MCH Workforce Development Center explain the basics of the Water of Systems Change (WSC) framework and how it is used as an organizing theory for state and local health departments to organize their efforts in addressing disparities and racism while advancing other social determinants of health (SDOH). The presenters also engage participants in a discussion and brainstorming session of how these approaches can be applied and taught in academic programs. This webinar also explores a new concept — From the Concept to the Concrete to the Classroom — where presenters link conceptual models to what's happening in the field and then bring it full-circle to show how current and future faculty may incorporate new frameworks and implementation practices into academic programs.

Learning Objectives: • Explain the six conditions of the WSC framework. • Identify activities that state and local health departments funded by Title V are using to advance health equity, racial justice, and SDOH. • Expand on ideas generated about how to incorporate the WSC framework into academic settings.

Learning Objectives: • Learn common data models from public health systems. • Discuss communities of practice that convene public and private stakeholders across jurisdictions to improve sharing of systems and data. • Examine approaches other jurisdictions are taking to remove program silos for more effective data sharing across public health program areas.

Annotation: In the times we live in, we are constantly facing all sorts of emergencies and preparedness is essential to keep families safe and promote health and wellbeing in challenging situations. In this episode, presenters explore how Tennessee has intentionally centered communities of color in response efforts and learn about Puerto Rico’s experience facing emergencies like Zika, Hurricane Maria, and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Annotation: Health equity is a top priority for many health agencies. Public health leaders can use performance management systems to advance health equity goals by systematically collecting and monitoring data to track results and identify opportunities for improvement. On the latest episode of the Public Health Review podcast, ASTHO senior executive consultant Nicole Alexander-Scott (alumni-RI), Harry Chen (alumni-VT), and Montana's state health improvement coordinator, Anna Bradley, discuss how the current equity efforts can integrate with established performance management practices.

Learning Objectives: • Learn how current equity efforts can integrate with established performance management practices. • Discuss how health agencies can use planning documents to integrate equity in health assessments and strategic planning.

Annotation: Efforts are underway to reimagine and transform the data system used in public health so it doesn’t just identify, manage, and respond to disease—it also promotes holistic well-being. Plans for modernizing the public health data system must ensure that it supports a complete picture of all the communities affected by poor health outcomes—as well as the underlying reasons those communities are affected—to inform efforts to advance health equity. Doing so requires a data system that includes upstream influences on health, such as social determinants of health and the policies and systems that perpetuate inequities. It coordinates across public and private sectors. It is inclusive in terms of how and by whom the data are collected, analyzed, and interpreted, and it centers community involvement throughout the data life cycle. This virtual discussion includes experts who are leading efforts across the United States to reimagine public health data to become more effective at promoting the public’s health and addressing root causes of health inequities. These perspectives range across the sectors involved in generating, shaping, and interpreting public health data including philanthropy, local public health agencies, technology, and community-based organizations. The gathered experts will share their experience and vision for transforming the public health data system.

Learning Objectives: • Learn how public health data can be effective at promoting the public's health and addressing root causes of health equity • Learn multiple perspectives for transforming the public health data system
