This Roundtable is ideal for executives who are committed to building and adopting leading-edge models and interventions that reduce clinical disparities and advance health for all, especially those who have been underrepresented across demographic, geographic, and socioeconomic lines. Centering on patients and populations, leaders explore innovative case examples and embrace a data-driven, quality improvement mindset. They enact solutions that bolster prevention, incorporate emerging technologies, and build upon evidence-based strategies.

As a response to the challenge of addressing health disparities, in 2022 the Health Evolution Forum launched the Health Equity Pledge as a bold, cross-industry initiative to meaningfully strengthen data foundations through the collection, stratification, and review of race, ethnicity, language, and sex data. Ultimately, the Pledge aimed to enable organizations across the industry to more effectively identify disparities, diagnose their root causes, and instill accountability for eliminating them.

This three-year commitment culminated in the report, Advancing Health Equity with Data and Bold Commitment, which details the transformative journey of the Health Equity Pledge and its more than 50 participating provider, health plan, life sciences, technology, and other organizations from across the health care ecosystem. The report highlights accomplishments, insights, and lessons learned from participants. It underscores the power of collaboration, innovation, and transparency in driving systemic change and provides a roadmap for sustaining this critical work.
