Just whole healthcare executive scaling health equity through field-defining business, policy and service integration strategy
On the eve of California’s groundbreaking, health equity-focused Enhanced Care Management birthing cohort, this model for accountable, values-first care for Black mothers, birthing individuals, and babies resonates. The self-determination and voice and choice it elevates for Black communities and families is a model for so many areas of health inequity. Being a data nerd, I’m thrilled to see Action Area #1 “Institutional Accountability and Data Accessibility” hit the nail on the head. 🤓 We definitely need to: 🤰🏾Use community-defined measures to monitor progress in reducing Black maternal and infant health disparities 👶🏾Produce a publicly accessible Black birth equity monitoring and evaluation system, and ⚖️Incentivize provider actions to advance Black birth equity through innovative Medi-Cal payment models. Grateful Health Net under Pooja Mittal’s leadership and Nancy Wongvipat Kalev, MPH's community engagement is funding this work and other investments in maternal-infant health and racial equity. Grateful Palav Babaria and the California Department of Health Care Services are about to take it to the next level with ECM for birthing populations, the PHM Service (Medicaid payer risk data platform), and Bold Goals for health equity that center maternal and early childhood access and outcomes. Excited for Amanda P. Williams, MD, MPH, Melissa Hanna and Mahmee to do their part, like with the Blue Shield of California expansion alongside Jacqueline Ejuwa, PharmD, MHL. https://lnkd.in/gC3msRaR #maternalhealthisourfuture #healthequity requires #racialequity
Health Net is proud to have funded the first California Coalition for Black Birth Justice (the Coalition). We know that increasing health equity means investing in local leadership, innovation and collaboration. They bring together experts focusing on improving birth outcomes for parents of color. The Coalition recently released their first agenda, developed by seven members of the Coalition staff and 10 strategic advisors, including Pooja Mittal, Health Net’s chief health equity officer. “To bring about true change, we need long-term investments in Black-led organizations, and more mechanisms for accountability and transparency,” said Dana Sherrod, MPH, Coalition co-founder and executive director. “We applaud Health Net for being an earlier supporter of the Coalition and hope others are encouraged to follow their example.” Read the Coalition’s agenda, Unifying the Vision for Systemic Change: https://lnkd.in/e9_937bj #BlackBirthJustice #HealthEquity #LocalPartnerships #CommunityInvestments

Healthcare Strategist - I help healthcare leaders drive transformation of healthcare workplaces into diverse and sustainable communities that boost productivity and increase ROI by cultivating community wellness.
Health advocacy through the lens of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is crucial for accessible and tailored healthcare for all individuals, regardless of their background. DEI-focused advocacy improves outcomes by promoting cultural competence, addressing disparities, and increasing trust in healthcare systems. It fosters social cohesion, reduces inequalities, and enhances overall community well-being. Let's commit to understanding diverse perspectives, acknowledging systemic issues, and actively working towards fair and inclusive healthcare. #HealthAdvocacy #DEI #InclusionMatters bit.ly/DEIHEALTHQUIZ

Healthcare Strategy and Innovation | Transformation for Improved Patient Care | Shaping the Future of Healthcare Delivery
Advancing Human Rights in Healthcare: A Comprehensive Framework for Equitable Access and Quality Care In the pursuit of universal healthcare coverage, a human rights-based approach is essential to ensure that every individual has access to quality healthcare services without discrimination or barriers. The availability, accessibility, acceptability, and quality of care (AAAQ) are fundamental pillars of a human-right-based approach to healthcare provision (Health Policy Makers -Summary Reflection Guide on a Human Rights-Based Approach to Health). The interconnectedness of various human rights, emphasizes that the right to health is inherently linked to other rights such as education, housing, and food security. By addressing these social determinants of health, policymakers can create an enabling environment that promotes overall well-being and equitable access to healthcare. Transparency and access to information play a crucial role in empowering individuals to make informed decisions about their health. Policies aimed at ensuring transparency in healthcare delivery and providing accessible information enable patients to actively participate in their care and hold healthcare providers accountable for the services they deliver. Furthermore, addressing inequalities requires proactive measures to eliminate discrimination by prioritizing the needs of marginalized and disadvantaged groups, ensuring that they have access to essential healthcare services free of charge. Engaging individuals, communities, and organizations is essential for aligning healthcare priorities with the needs of the population. By involving stakeholders in decision-making processes, policymakers can gain valuable insights into local healthcare challenges and develop strategies that are responsive to community needs. A robust feedback mechanism is critical for fostering transparency and accountability in healthcare delivery. Through social audits, community monitoring, and need-based approaches, policymakers can identify gaps in service delivery, address issues promptly, and improve the overall quality of care. Advancing human rights in healthcare requires a multifaceted approach that addresses the availability, accessibility, acceptability, and quality of healthcare services. By adopting policies that prioritize transparency, equity, and community engagement, policymakers can work towards ensuring that every individual has access to the essential healthcare services they need to lead healthy and fulfilling lives.
