On-Demand Webinar: Leaving a Lasting Legacy by Leaning into Data and Care Equity

Health equity significantly impacts a patient's access to appropriate care, as financial and societal disparities often lead to adverse health outcomes. Insufficient access to healthy food, medications, housing, or transportation to appointments can all hinder the care a patient seeks and receives. These health inequities profoundly affect health outcomes by contributing to chronic conditions, frequent ER visits, hospitalizations, and readmissions, thereby increasing healthcare costs. So, how can health systems address this challenge?

In this American College of Health Data Management on-demand webinar, you’ll hear how several healthcare organizations across the U.S. are investing in solutions to combat health inequities and seeing results. These include an inner city hospital in the heart of Chicago, a community hospital in suburban Virginia, and a critical access hospital in rural Idaho, demonstrating that no matter where you live, investing in your community can have a lasting impact.
