Achieving health equity in the school-based, mobile, and community health setting

Overview:

Achieving health equity in the school-based, mobile, and community health setting

Leonel Lopez III, MD, MHS, DABFM

School-based, Mobile, and community healthcare services that are fragmented and uncoordinated can lead to increased costs to health systems and school districts, delays in care, worse health outcomes, and widening of health disparities. Implementing sound health equity strategies can address these challenges. However, healthcare organizations may lack a health equity strategy to support the health of their respective patients and community. This presentation will outline a health equity measurement framework for healthcare organizations across five key domains: 1. Culture; 2. Structure; 3. Access; 4. Quality; and 5. Collaborations & Partnerships.

After this presentation, attendees will be able to:

1. Define population health, community health, health equity, and health disparities.
2. Discuss a health equity measurement framework.
3. Develop a strategy to address health equity in their practices.
