Last month, I was honored to join a panel at the WEDI / HL7 Health Equity Forum & Workshop with other leading Standard Development Organizations to discuss the role of standards in shaping an equitable future in healthcare. I shared more about how URAC partnered with the National Minority Quality Forum and other leaders to build an accreditation that serves as a seal of approval for organizations striving to achieve health equity — not by perfection, but by principled efforts. We discussed the importance of focusing on organizational behavior and planning, rather than rigid data standards, because data can be siloed and often doesn't tell the full story. We also discussed tailoring healthcare to the individual while understanding and addressing the unique gaps and disparities impacting specific communities. With these core principles in mind, healthcare organizations can measure their success in working towards a more equitable future. You can watch the full panel, which starts at 06:29, here: https://lnkd.in/ezuXV8eB

As always, it is great to see life sciences companies investing in Health Equity. So many say that improving clinical outcomes for those with disparities and diversifying clinical trial enrollment are their top priorities. 🚨 Yet, no life sciences companies are investing in data that will actually accelerate progress. They are still using biased data from academic centers or are limited by structured claims + EHR. 🚨 Community physicians are the key treaters of patients that suffer from health disparities, and Lynx.MD has every single piece of medical data associated with those journeys. Billions of $$$ are spent on drug development innovation each year. When will companies decide it is time to be innovative in Health Equity?
We’re excited to announce our support of Boston Medical Center (BMC)’s Health Equity Accelerator, which is working to transform health care to eliminate gaps in life expectancy and quality of life among different races and ethnicities. BMC is a longstanding partner that shares in our commitment to create a more equitable health ecosystem. Takeda’s support of the Health Equity Accelerator focuses on four key areas: scaling infrastructure to expand its scope and reach, improving clinical outcomes in areas with significant disparities, fostering broader discussions on health equity with leaders in the space, and embedding tested health equity practices into state and national policies. We look forward to making strides together in achieving our vision of advancing health equity within the Commonwealth and across the U.S. through this model. Join us as we champion these initiatives at BMC’s EQTY 2024 summit and beyond. #HealthEquity https://lnkd.in/e6zP-HEr

Equity and quality in healthcare are inseparable; without equity, true quality cannot be achieved. Dispartities revealed through data stratification should be regarded as indicators of low-quality care, similar to how patient safety issues are viewed.
Equity and quality must be linked. Without equity, there can be no quality. Fierce Healthcare has recently published an article highlighting IHI's Defining the Health Equity Officer report. The latest framework comes at a time of heightened perception that industries across the board are moving away from work in diversity, equity and inclusion. “So much of what drives inequities has to do with how communities perceive healthcare," said Dr. Kedar Mate, president and CEO at IHI. Thanks to Anastassia Gliadkovskaya for the writeup.
