Black individuals experience poor health outcomes than some other racial groups largely attributed to inequities in experiences and care delivery.
Black individuals experience poor health outcomes than some other racial groups largely attributed to inequities in experiences and care delivery. These disparities are driven by systemic barriers. For instance, patient experiences can be negatively affected by the lack of intersectional oriented care models. Multiple identities and social factors influence health outcomes. If they are not integrated into decision-making, services may not adequately meet user needs. To reduce/close these gaps, it is important to conduct equity audits and review gaps. Engaging with communities is necessary. Implementing community informed solutions is crucial to deal with and integrate social determinants of health into programs and services.
Our free Equity Audit Checklist gives health care teams and leaders five actionable steps. These steps can be adapted and used to embed equity into program design. They are also useful in policy development and patient, client, or community engagement.
