Understanding the enablers of highest-quality care

# Abstract

This paper presents results from a small-scale institutional ethnography study of reporting requirements and evaluation practices in two urban community health centers (CHCs), as a sample of community-based nonprofit organizations that focus on social justice and health equity. The study illuminated complex relationships among accountability, reporting and evaluation, and governance.

This webinar is presented by the Alliance for Healthier Communities in partnership with participating organizations and evaluators in the Black-Focused Social Prescribing (BFSP) project.

The 2.5-year pilot was implemented by The Alliance for Healthier Communities in collaboration with four Community Health Centres (CHCs) in Ontario: Black Creek, Somerset West, TAIBU, and Rexdale. Through BFSP, dedicated staff called Link Navigators connect clients to programs and services. This project won the National Social Prescribing Innovation Award in 2024.

Le programme de prescription sociale à l’intention des personnes noires était un project d’une durée de deux ans et demi qui vise à bonifier les pratiques de prescription sociale en élaborant et en appliquant un modèle culturellement adapté, spécifiquement conçu pour s’attaquer aux iniquités en matière de santé auxquelles font face les communautés ACN.

Black-Focused Social Prescribing (BFSP) was a 2.5-year pilot initiative that aimed to augment social prescribing practices by developing and applying a culturally affirming model of care, specifically designed to address the unique health inequities faced by ACB communities. The pilot was implemented by The Alliance for Healthier Communities, in collaboration with four Community Health Centres CHCs in Ontario: Black Creek, Somerset West, TAIBU, and Rexdale.
