Promoting Health Equity through Pharmacoequity Achieving health equity requires addressing disparities in medication access. Pharmacoequity, or the fairness in medication coverage, is a key factor in promoting health equity. By recognizing and addressing systemic biases, stakeholders can work towards ensuring medication access for all, regardless of socioeconomic status or location. #healthequity #carecollaboration #virtualpatientengagement #remotepatientmonitoring #careplanintegration #health https://lnkd.in/dy2xMz28

Nurse, Policymaker, and Executive Director of The Institute for Policy Solutions at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing
“The health care system increasingly recognizes how housing and other social determinants of health are intertwined with health outcomes that affect a person's overall wellbeing.” It's true - this push to utilize Medicaid to address social determinants of health like housing and food could help millions of people across the country. To eliminate inequities and to save lives and resources, we need a greater focus on new evidence informed ways (https://lnkd.in/ewHuaZdP) of effectively addressing harmful SDOH through prevention, health promotion and - when people do get sick - restorative care, so that all of us are supported to achieve our optimal health and wellbeing. This kind of SDOH innovation in Medicaid demonstration projects would get us closer to the goal of reducing chronic disease, extending healthy years of life and reducing unnecessary healthcare costs.

Good article highlighting how an employer partners with a local health system to invest in preventative care to reduce their employees insurance cost and allow investment in other benefits. Even more important, the article it highlights a need to invest in wellness & prevention to tackle chronic illnesses like obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disorders, cancer and mental health if employers, Medicare and Medicaid programs want to make a dent in our trillions in annual spend on health care. https://lnkd.in/epAwqtTG

Did you know that higher poverty rates in rural areas contribute to the cardiovascular health gap? Many rural residents face financial barriers that limit their access to necessary healthcare services. This economic challenge, coupled with a lack of insurance coverage, results in poorer health outcomes.

Black and brown people die earlier than their white counterparts in every state. According to a recent analysis by the The Commonwealth Fund, Black, American Indian, and Alaska Native (AIAN) populations are more likely to die before age 75 from preventable AND treatable illnesses, including infections and certain cancers, than white populations. Despite the expansion of coverage through the Affordable Care Act, disparities in healthcare access between white individuals and Black and brown populations exist across all states. The report noted, these groups have more problems accessing care. If the care they receive is not quality care, then they have worse health outcomes compared to white populations in many states. The The Commonwealth Fund analysis, conducted using publicly available data from over 328 million people during 2021 and 2022, shows the need for policy and health system actions to achieve health equity. Key analysis recommendations include: 1. Ensuring affordable, comprehensive, and equitable health insurance coverage for all. 2. Strengthening primary care services. 3. Improving healthcare quality and delivery. 4. Prioritizing and centering equity in health systems and providers' practices. 5. Investing in social services to address broader drivers of health. 6. Enhancing the collection and analysis of racial and ethnic data to identify and address gaps. 7. Developing equity-focused measures to inform and evaluate policy. We have much work to do. As we move forward, it’s important to remember to work collaboratively so we can find solutions to a challenge much bigger than any one of us. Join KC Health Collaborative's community table to address these issues together. Let’s get to work. - Follow KC Health Collaborative to stay up-to-date about our efforts to advance health equity in the Kansas City region and beyond. #healthequity #qualitycare #kansascity
