TOPHC 2022 Spring Workshop: Measuring What Counts in the Midst of the Covid-19 Pandemic: A tool for equity
COVID-19 has highlighted and amplified long-standing inequities in Canadian society and health systems. Various health equity indicator prompts, and resources to support their use, have been developed to build on earlier work by Public Health Ontario and colleagues on an emergency preparedness framework to support public health system resilience and a set of public health emergency preparedness indicators. The framework, indicators and prompts help explicitly assess organizational capacity and move to integrate health equity considerations systematically and systemically in all decision making for emergency preparedness, response and recovery. In this workshop, participants will have an opportunity to test an interactive tool for measuring progress towards integrating health equity considerations in public health planning, response and recovery. Effective integration of equity considerations requires they be integrated in all planning efforts and all of the time. We will engage workshop participants in a discussion of the challenges and opportunities for using these tools to support an equity approach.
Intended audience: This 2-hour session is designed to support public health professionals, such as those working in emergency preparedness, response and/or recovery, with integrating health equity considerations.
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
Continued Conversations (optional 12:00 p.m. – 12:30 p.m. EDT)
Join us after the workshop for an optional 30-minute discussion and networking session. A PHO facilitator will lead the Continued Conversation session where participants will discuss the key topics and themes from the workshop.
