Best Practices in Health Care Equity

Hospitals and health systems recognized for excellence in health care equity are sharing their work with the field.

CHE Trinity Health, a multistate system, highlights practical steps, ongoing initiatives and lessons learned, in an October 14 HPOE webinar “Making Data Meaningful: Monitoring Performance in Quality and Equity.” CHE Trinity Health participated in a disparities leadership program sponsored by the Disparities Solutions Center at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, also presenting during the webinar. MGH received the AHA’s inaugural Equity of Care award this year.

Then on October 29, Henry Ford Health System, based in Detroit, discusses building capacity and expertise among health care leaders, in the HPOE webinar “Health Care Equity and Organizational Change: Training for a Purpose.” HFHS was one of this year’s finalists for the Equity of Care award. The AHA’s Institute for Diversity in Health Management and Symposium for Leaders in Healthcare Quality are helping to facilitate these webinars.

These webinars are free of charge, but require advance registration. Visit the Equity of Care website to learn more about the AHA’s work with four national partners to eliminate health care disparities.
