Harnessing data and evidence to accelerate health equity
ROUNDTABLE
Data-Driven Health Equity Strategies
This roundtable explores data foundations and evidence-based solutions that will enable executives to embed health equity across the enterprise. It includes cross-industry Health Equity Pledge Learning Sessions for sharing experiences, challenges, and successes in addressing health disparities. Executives in this roundtable are committed to redressing health inequities through data-driven approaches and by embedding health equity throughout their organizations.
As a response to this challenge of addressing health disparities, the Health Evolution Forum has launched the Health Equity Pledge to meaningfully strengthen data foundations through the collection, stratification, and review of race, ethnicity, language, and sex data, with the ultimate goal to more effectively identify disparities, diagnose root causes, and instill accountability for eliminating them.
These actions, structured into three Pledge objectives, are a significant opportunity to embed equity into quality improvement and interventions across the health care industry, and to reduce disparities in care delivery, the patient and member experience, and outcomes.
- Collect race, ethnicity, language, and sex data for at least 50% of the organization’s patient, member, or customer population.
- Stratify and regularly review these collected data by the top-priority quality or access metric for 90% of major business lines and/or departments/divisions of adequate size.
- Participate in the Health Evolution Health Equity Learning Lab by sharing stratified data for select measures to facilitate anonymized benchmarking and to identify best practices for reducing disparities.
