System transformation: Positive disruption to address the structural and social determinants of health and advance health equity

During the pandemic community health nurses (CHNs) encountered first hand the impact of health inequities for individuals, families and communities. CHNs have voiced the need for system transformation and positive disruption to advance health equity and build stronger communities (Baxter, et al., 2022). Join us as we explore disruption, power and its distribution, acts of resistance, and building relationships with community partners and organizers.

Learning Objectives:

• Discuss how health inequities exposed during the pandemic contributed to poor population health outcomes and moral distress in CHNs
• Discuss system transformation and opportunities for positive disruption
• Explore the distribution of power and its influence on system transformation
• Learn approaches, levers and strategies to influence systems to advance health equity - Identify community organizations and partners to work with in system transformation
