National organizations working to improve healthcare through authentic partnerships between healthcare systems and community members with lived experiences developed a framework that can be built upon. Project INSPIRE (Initiating National Strategies for Partnership, Inclusion, and Real Engagement) undertook a yearlong process to:
- Assess the current state of community engagement work nationwide
- ID best practices through focus groups and interviews
- Articulate a clear value proposition to community members with lived experiences
- Create a partnership framework that includes adequate compensation for community members
