Annual Quality and Safety Conference - Equity in Healthcare Delivery

Tuesday, May 17, 2022, 8:00 AM - 2:00 PM EST, Hartford HealthCare, Other

Prioritizing equity in everything that we do creates the context for a community where individuals are equipped to live their healthiest lives. It ensures people are granted equal opportunity to access care despite social, economic, and physical factors. Disparities in health care adversely affect groups facing other inequities and often limit the ability to improve quality of life, immensely contributing to poorer outcomes and unnecessary costs.

1. Define equity as it relates to health disparities
2. Understand public policy and advocacy addressing health disparities
3. Articulate how inequities in healthcare affect outcomes and safety
4. Learn how to scale a community-focused approach to provide equitable care
5. Hear about a few research-informed interventions designed to address disparities and improve outcomes
