Consulting Services
Design and facilitation of consultations with specific populations to enhance diversity, equity and inclusivity
Diversity, inclusivity and equity should not be scary words for healthcare and public health organizations. We will work with senior leadership and specific communities to ensure that these concepts become part of an organization’s strategy, daily operations and business model.
Design and implementation of quality improvement projects
Quality improvement is not a “one and done” process, it should be part of the daily life of a healthcare organization. At ACU Innovation and Consulting, we will work closely with organizations to understand the root causes of specific challenges they face and we will build and implement effective strategies to improve their processes, systems and programs.
Design of health education resources
In a digital era filled with information, many of which is not trustworthy, high-quality health education resources for patients and communities are more important than ever. We will work to translate evidence-based health information into innovative and accesible educational health resources in both English and Spanish.
Organization of multi-sectoral panels and events
We believe that innovation happens at the intersection of partnerships between the public, non-profit and for-profit sectors. We will work with healthcare organizations to bring relevant stakeholders from different sectors together, facilitate dialogues and exchanges of perspectives that will drive innovation.
Design and facilitation of strategic planning processes
Developing a powerful strategy is not an easy task for healthcare and public health leaders. We will work closely with senior management teams to design strategic planning processes that include the voices of diverse stakeholders, as well as a deep understanding of competitive forces, internal and external opportunities and challenges, and a deep understanding of an organization’s identity.
Evaluation of public health and healthcare programs
ACU Innovation and Consulting has designed and conducted quantitative and qualitative evaluations on a variety of public health and healthcare programs, including programs on patient retention and re-engagement, case management and housing programs, pre-exposure prophylaxis programs, and digital outreach programs for patients.
Capacity building training courses for service providers on sexual and reproductive health and LGBTQ health
Sexual health provision is often lacking in primary care provision, and when it is delivered, service providers use fear to motivate their patients to engage in safer sex practices. Many organizations also don’t have the competency to provide high quality services to LGBTQ+ patients. We will work closely with organizations and service providers to improve their capacity to design and deliver effective sexual and reproductive health and LGBTQ+ health programs.
