Advancing Health Equity: It’s Not Just a People Strategy
As a result of the recent racial unrest, DEI initiatives have become a hot topic across the country—and in the health care industry. As the call for representation across the medical staff and leadership resounds, many health systems are looking for ways to improve staff diversity. Although a focus on diversity ensures that the right people are at the table, health equity is an operational initiative to address the disparities that have plagued our nation. This presentation will explore using the lens of equity to address the business of health care and the services we offer. Critical to the work of health care leaders is an exploration of the opportunities for growth and expansion in our communities and how we can improve patient outcomes.
