Health Equity

In recent years, various public and population health efforts have focused on the broader conditions that have been shown to affect health—housing stability, employment, community design, access to health care (primary and specialty), access to healthy foods, occupational safety, and even environmental pollutants. HCDI understands there is an inextricable link between the social determinants of health, including economic, behavioral, social, and environmental conditions, and overall health outcomes. Additionally, there is a correlation between the inequitable distribution of these determinants across populations and persisting health disparities.  

Data analysis demonstrates that most health disparities impact marginalized groups because of socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, gender, geographic location, or a combination of these factors.

Whether health equity integration is required by federal or state programs or as part of an accreditation process, HCDI can create a personalized “Health Equity Roadmap” to support your health organization’s journey.

Core elements of support can include:  

• Assisting with the implementation of health equity practices as a meaningful part of your leadership and staff culture 
• Promoting the value of health equity through exciting, research-based presentations, educational training, and events  
• Performing a health equity lens needs assessment and identifying gaps in current policies and programs 
• Analyzing data to identify health disparities and priority populations  
• Establishing your organization’s health equity strategy 
• Integrating your organization’s health equity strategy into trackable value-based care goals 
• Monitoring and evaluating your organization’s progress toward achieving its health equity-related goals and milestones
