How Aligning Sectors Builds Resilient, Equitable Communities

Abstract: C ommunities of color have been particularly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, revealing weaknesses and structural inequities in systems of care and support. Disparities in how the virus affected different people and communities are evident in nearly every aspect of the pandemic including risk of exposure, infection, hospitalization, and death, as well as in the vaccine rollout.We know this inequity is caused by conditions much broader than a single viral molecule.

“…[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] Many practitioner-focused organizations also urge investments in cross-sector initiatives. [1][2][3][22][23][24] For example, Aligning for Health, a member association that advocates for cross-sector strategies, identified legislation introduced to Congress that could impact SDOH. 24 However, few of the above-described analyses use a theory-driven approach to describe legislation characteristics that might appeal to cross-sector collaboratives and others working in partnership to advance cross-sector solutions for urgent public health issues.…”

Studies suggest that communities with greater alignment among health care, social services, and public health prior to the pandemic were able to mount stronger and more equitable responses 18 . However, little is known about what contributes to the resilience of aligned systems or how particular aspects of these systems may serve as resources for community resilience.…”

“…Aligning Systems for Health is a program funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and coordinated through the Georgia Health Policy Center. The Framework for Aligning Sectors (Framework) posits that when organizations within healthcare, public health, and social services align around shared purpose, data, financing, and governance, they are more likely to contribute to broader community health goals 37 . Using the Framework as a conceptual model, the SHERO (Strengthening Health Equity and Recovery Outcomes) study was designed to measure and compare overall and cross‐sector alignment around purpose, data sharing, governance, and financing.…”
