Philadelphia’s Early Learning Community Speaks Out: An Action Plan for Quality Improvement
This session was presented during the BUILD 2021 National Conference.
Philadelphia is fortunate to have a long history of quality improvement supports, financed through philanthropy, state, and local government. Despite this impressive array of supports, these supports are not always visible to the intended providers, nor are the providers involved in the development of these supports. This session will describe an inclusive process led by a diverse team involving providers, quality improvement organizations, and funders that developed a set of recommendations to ensure racial equity is embedded in all aspects of quality improvement and that provider voice is heard.
