In Pursuit of Equity: See It at the Summit (or Stream Part of It for Free)
October 12, 2023 · Andy Reynolds
“In Pursuit of Equity” is one of six topics we’ll focus on at our Health Innovation Summit 2023.
We think health equity is so important, we’re livestreaming two powerful keynote sessions about health equity at no charge. Quality advocates who can’t join us in Orlando can still learn how controversial policies in Florida and other states might affect minority communities.
Driving Equity: Strategy, Successes and Challenges
Not everyone has a fair shot at good health. That’s a big problem.
Health care organizations haven’t cracked the code on how to root out inequity. That’s why health equity is a focus of this year’s Health Innovation Summit October 23-25 in Orlando.
Almost 1 in 4 Summit sessions emphasize health equity.
What You’ll Learn
Attendees will hear from innovators working to improve health equity and examining:
- Data stratification.
- Patient engagement.
- Social determinants of health.
- Leveraging HEDIS to improve health equity.
Session Topics Include…
- No Quality Without Equity.
- Health Equity Innovators: Deep Dive on Disparities.
- Raising the Bar for Maternal Health Equity and Excellence.
- Health Equity Rapid Fire Panel: Innovation’s Role in Advancing Health Equity.
- Beyond Inclusion: Measurement for Transgender and Gender-Diverse Populations.
Our idea, as always, is to help you measure what matters, drive clinical decisions and improve quality.
