Outreach and Communication
How does your hospital encourage and seek out minority, women, LGBT, and disabled veteran business enterprises to become potential suppliers?
We use the caleprocure website to look up SB/DVBE enterprises. We are also on the SB/DVBE advocate website where we have our contact information so that any of these suppliers can reach out to us and then we share their line cards and supplies list with the different buying areas at our facility.
How does your hospital encourage its employees involved in procurement to seek out minority, women, LGBT, and disabled veteran business enterprises to become potential suppliers?
We send out line cards and supply lists from potential suppliers to our employees so that they are encouraged to purchase their supply needs from these suppliers. We also encourage the use of LPA and CMAS contracts for these identified suppliers.
How does your hospital conduct outreach and communication to minority, women, LGBT, and disabled veteran business enterprises?
We are part of the SB/DVBE advocates program. DDS as a whole has a Service Access and Equity workgroup that focuses on creating a culturally and linguistically competent service system, review funded disparity projects and outcomes, explore statewide strategies to improve access, and make data easy to understand for community discussions. There is also the Oversight, Accountability and Transparency Workgroup that reviews and explores ways to measure and monitor service and quality outcomes and enhance transparency.
