Community Building
Community building can be particularly effective as a tool to prevent or mitigate conflict.
For this discussion, assume the role of the health care or public health leader of a community health center in a high-need urban community.
In your initial post, explain how you will include the voice of the patient or consumer. Why is this important? Relate this to the IHI Triple AIM or the six aims for health care improvement described in Crossing the Quality Chasm. Identify potential barriers and describe how these barriers might be overcome.
Be sure to include at least one APA-formatted citation (NO OLDER THAN 5 YEARS) (in-text plus full reference). The citation may be from your course text, assigned readings, or an outside source.
