Workshop

Description: The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends routine and universal screening for food insecurity across pediatric care settings. One novel family-centered approach is the use of home food delivery programs providing produce and prepared meals.
In this skill-building, interactive workshop, participants will discuss emerging evidence supporting food delivery to address food insecurity, identify key strategies for developing and implementing high-quality, prepared meals and/or produce delivery programs, and engage with a panel of clinicians from three institutions utilizing home food delivery programs to support food insecure families. Representatives from each institution will share highlights and key lessons learned from their food delivery programs in a variety of clinical settings: primary care offices, and inpatient. They will also review recent Medicaid policy innovations that could support food delivery.
Participants will work in small groups to identify next steps for developing and implementing a new food delivery program or evaluating and improving upon existing food delivery programs at their home institutions. Each small group will focus on a specific topic related to development, implementation, or evaluation, such as: securing funding and institutional support, building community partnerships, developing referral and delivery workflows, continuous quality improvement, and evaluation approaches (qualitative and quantitative). Participants will rotate to engage with two small groups of their choice.
Participants will leave with a concrete plan and roadmap for how to build support for, develop, and implement a food delivery program at their home institution, and a toolbox of evaluation strategies.

Learning Objectives:

  • Form community partnerships and advocate for the development of food delivery programs at their home institution.
  • Identify key strategies for designing and implementing successful food delivery programs.
  • Appraise evaluation approaches of food delivery programs, with a lens towards optimizing patient experience and promoting health equity.
