Final Report - Results of Survey & Qualitative Assessments of EDI Perspectives within the MUHC Commu

11 Nov 2022

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The initiative sought to gather sociocultural and demographic data to provide a portrait of the institution’s workforce (MUHC and RI-MUHC) and to document its perspectives and lived experiences vis-à-vis EDI within the institution. [...] Establish an EDI Office/Officer: this is to oversee the training and education in EDI at all levels of the MUHC and RI-MUHC, to ensure that institutional policies and procedures reflect EDI principles, to be the keeper of tools and resources about EDI, and to act as an advisory/consulting service on issues pertaining to EDI and anti-racism. [...] Once the committee was fully formed, the C-AIDE co-chairs sent the first of many messages to the MUHC community, highlighting that helping the MUHC to be its best self is a shared responsibility and confirming that its objectives were to hear from, listen to, and connect with the full spectrum of stakeholder groups associated with the MUHC, from patients and their family members to healthcare prof. [...] The interview questions were the following: • The participant’s understanding of equity, diversity, and inclusion; • The participant’s description of the culture/environment at MUHC and/or RI-MUHC; • EDI-related challenges/conflicts the participant experienced at MUHC and/or RI-MUHC; • Which EDI topics are most important to the participant; and • Anything of EDI relevance the participant felt impo. [...] The majority of the topics were in terms of the fabric of our society (32.3%), the MUHC/RI-MUHC workforce and its diversity (17.6%), in relation to coexisting and being welcome(d) (5.8%), in the context of leadership (5.8%), people’s strength (2.9%), that diversity has visible and invisible (hidden) factors/elements (2.9%), and that diversity requires continued investment (2.9%).
