The ELI is ideal for clinical and non-clinical healthcare leaders, as well as organizations, departments, or divisions focused on advancing health equity and inclusion. It’s especially useful for leaders seeking to align their strategies with equity goals, assess the current state of their diversity and inclusion practices, and drive systemic, meaningful change within their institutions.

The landscape around health equity, diversity, and inclusion is increasingly complex. Now is the time for organizations to take a deeper dive into how they are structured to engage in efforts that produce fruitful, sustainable results for which everyone benefits. By completing the ELI, your organization can identify areas of growth, strengthen its commitment to equity, and ensure it is prepared for future challenges and expectations in the industry and society.

Yes! The ELI is built on findings from multiple peer-reviewed studies, as well as insights from ODLC’s work with over 100 health equity, diversity, and inclusion leaders. This evidence-based approach ensures that the assessment is not only relevant but grounded in established research and proven frameworks.

The ELI focuses on three key domains for an organization: interpersonal dynamics, leadership structure & governance, and strategy design and implementation. These domains dive into 15 curated categories of key performance indicators (KPIs), expertly designed by ODLC to provide the most robust and relevant insights. This comprehensive approach reveals actionable data not typically captured in standard assessments, helping organizations unlock their full potential in equity and inclusion.

The ELI is an on-demand assessment that can be completed with much more efficiency and specificity than traditional consulting services or culture surveys. It’s designed to be a highly cost-effective solution, providing tailored insights without the need for expensive, ongoing consulting fees. Unlike one-size-fits-all surveys, the ELI offers practical, actionable data to drive systemic change while saving time and resources.

The ELI assessment costs $2,500. This includes full access to the assessment tool, a comprehensive results report with insights and recommendations, and the ability to benchmark your organization’s progress. The price also includes an optional 1:1 virtual debrief meeting with an ODLC expert who will review your results with you directly and provide deeper insights tailored to your organization’s needs.
