Session: Strategic Partnerships and Team-Building

Oral
Strategic Partnerships and Team-Building
Providing appropriate and complementing health services to the public may be facilitated by developing strategic partnerships through which team building of health care providers can result in the desired evidence-based health services. This session will provide four successful examples of how this has occurred: • A local public health departments partnering with academia can work together to advance common interests. • A health organization bringing together key stakeholders within its organization to educate/train them for improvement in the delivery of health care. • A local health department working with an educational system to produce future public health workforce. • A local health department working with multiple metropolitan hospitals by way of forums, training, and exercises to integrate planning and preparedness efforts.
Learning Objectives: By the end of the session participants will be able to: 1. Describe how a local health department partnered with an academic institution to work as a team toward better health for their community. 2. Describe approaches in organizing and supervising interdisciplinary healthcare teams. 3. Identify key success factors involving cases of interdisciplinary team building. 4. Distinguish the difference between training and educating the workforce. 5. Identify tools that can be modified and adapted to their respective agencies for integration and evaluation of public health departments and hospitals into a unified emergency planning entity.
