Reimagining care delivery: Looking beyond clinical data
Achieving health equity by addressing social and clinical risk
-
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “health equity is achieved when every person has the opportunity to “attain his or her full health potential,” and no one is “disadvantaged from achieving this potential because of social position or other socially determined circumstances.” Health inequities are reflected in differences in length of life; quality of life; rates of disease, disability, and death; severity of disease; and access to treatment.”
With an industry already plagued with disparities in access and inefficiencies in care delivery, 2020 has further challenged our efforts to improve health outcomes. On Jan. 19, 3M kicked off the new year with a webinar discussing how to continue building efforts that improve access to affordable, quality care and achieve health equity using analytics that combine social and clinical risk.
