At the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Pharmacy, a longitudinal project is underway to assess how the college is functioning in terms of keeping Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) at the forefront of the institution. This study is intended to showcase areas of excellence within the college and as a quality improvement exercise to show the institution potential areas in need of improvement. This process was also initiated because such assessments may soon become a requirement for colleges of pharmacy to earn full accreditation. Upon analyzing the Justice component of JEDI and the 32 justice-related ideas that were recommended for exploration and discussion, and further sub-categorized under the terms representation, curriculum and education, policies and procedures, support and resources, and college climate, useful data were discovered. Overall, the information found on representation, policy and procedure, and college climate was difficult to quantify as much of the information was subjective; however, this does not automatically discount this information from being useful. Information relating to curriculum and education was more quantifiable but may be underrepresented. Analyzing information found relating to resources was made possible by identifying readily available support offered at the college for faculty, staff, and students. In identifying these resources, the college was able to take note of any missing support that needed to be implemented to ensure justice was being maintained. This longitudinal process not only allows the college to see areas where they thrive, but it also highlights any shortcomings of the college while providing the institution with information to spark innovative ideas to strengthen and further promote justice.
在内布拉斯加大学医学中心药学院，一项纵向项目正在进行，以评估该学院在将公正、公平、多样性和包容性（JEDI）置于机构前沿方面的运作情况。这项研究旨在展示学院内的卓越领域，并作为一项质量改进活动，以显示该机构需要改进的潜在领域。启动这个过程也是因为这样的评估可能很快会成为药学院获得全面认证的一项要求。在分析了JEDI的公正部分以及推荐用于探索和讨论的32个与公正相关的理念，并进一步按照代表性、课程与教育、政策与程序、支持与资源以及学院氛围等类别进行细分后，发现了有用的数据。总体而言，关于代表性、政策与程序以及学院氛围方面的信息很难量化，因为很多信息是主观的；然而，这并不意味着这些信息就没有用处。与课程和教育相关的信息更易于量化，但可能未得到充分体现。通过确定学院为教职员工和学生提供的现成支持，得以分析与资源相关的信息。在确定这些资源时，学院能够留意到任何需要实施的缺失支持，以确保公正得以维持。这个纵向过程不仅让学院看到自己蓬勃发展的领域，还凸显了学院的任何不足之处，同时为该机构提供信息，激发创新想法，以加强和进一步促进公正。
