Health inequities are pervasive nationally, with the health and well-being of Americans too often diverging along racial and ethnic lines. There are many factors that contribute to health disparities, but how we finance health care services and the structural payment inequities embedded in our health care system have gone under-explored. In a new report supported by Arnold Ventures, Manatt Health’s Adam Striar, Nathan Pauly, Kevin McAvey, Anne Karl and Cindy Mann seek to address this gap by investigating how health care provider payment variation contributes to disparities. Specifically, they explore questions like: do providers who predominantly treat “historically marginalized populations” get paid less for the same services than those that treat predominantly White populations? And if so, is this driven only by payer mix or do payment differences within payer types play a role? Learn more and read the full report here:

In communities of color, access to preventive healthcare measures can be limited, exacerbating disparities in long-term health outcomes. It's time to prioritize proactive measures that empower individuals to take control of their health journeys. From regular check-ups to preventative screenings, let's ensure equitable access to preventive care for all. Together, let's rewrite the narrative and champion health equity. #minorityhealthmonth #preventivecare #healthequity #generationalwellness #balanceperiod

📈 As value-based care arrangements expand and reporting metrics tied to health disparities become mandatory, prioritizing health equity has never been more crucial. Payers and health systems must proactively plan for a healthier population and reduced costs. Discover how SS&C Health and Johns Hopkins Population Health Analytics are tackling these challenges head-on. #NotJustAnalytics #HealthEquity 💡

One in six people live with a disability globally. These 1.3 billion individuals have every right to add years to their lives and life to their years through better health, but often experience heightened barriers to healthcare - they are three times more likely to be denied healthcare, and four times more likely to be treated badly. Watch this short documentary to learn how the McKinsey Health Institute is working with the Missing Billion Initiative to address health system challenges and close the gap in health data and equity. Explore the report that identifies key gaps in healthcare data, the impact of these gaps on global health equity goals, and possible solutions: https://lnkd.in/g67dKPCc Read more on the McKinsey Blog: https://lnkd.in/g78rB9BZ #Healthcare #IDPwD #SocialImpact

A great collaboration between the Missing Billion Initiative and the McKinsey Health Institute to advance research and generate data to improve access to healthcare for persons with disabilities globally. As the 2030 timeline for the #SDGs draws closer, Health Systems should endeavour to increase access to healthcare for all, including persons with disabilities. #LeaveNoOneBehind
