NEW! Shine a Light on Stigma

Shine-a-light-on-stigma-logo

People with substance use disorder (SUD) have a medical condition and need medical care. Yet the language often used to describe people with SUD tends to blame or demean them, creating a stigma that interferes with their opportunity to seek treatment. The Superior Health Shine a Light on Stigma campaign aims to increase respect for and dignity of persons with substance use disorder by asking individuals and organizations to learn about and commit to eliminating the stigma surrounding SUD by changing the language they use.

This package was developed to help you promote your decision to participate with Superior Health Quality Alliance. You may use the tools to announce your participation to the public, your staff, clients/patients/residents, stakeholders and more.

Sharing your participation internally can help build excitement, participation and buy-in. Sharing your participation externally lets the public know your organization cares about them and is willing to dedicate resources to be at the forefront of improving care and their health care experience.

All the materials have been created to allow for fast and easy localization for self-promotion. You may choose to use any of the materials that fit your needs. Simply localize the materials with the appropriate information about your organization in the marked spaces.

The Promotional Media Toolkit is password-protected – you can find the password in the October 2020 issue of our Collaborator e-newsletter.

The Focus of Our Work

Superior Health is powered by eight organizations with proven success driving achievement of Medicare quality improvement program goals. Superior Health will work to improve the quality of health and health care for health care consumers, patients, clinicians, health care organizations and communities by supporting these five areas:

  • Improve nursing home quality focusing on reducing unnecessary resident harm, reducing hospitalizations and increasing a facility’s Five Star Quality Rating.
  • Increase quality of care transitions through engagement of community coalitions to reduce unnecessary emergency department visits and increase medication safety.
  • Increase chronic disease prevention and self-care for those living with cardiovascular disease, diabetes and chronic kidney disease.
  • Increase patient safety including reducing adverse drug events and healthcare-related infections.
  • Improve behavioral health and opioid misuse through prevention and access to health services.3 implementations strategies
