AHA launches new toolkit series focused on advancing health equity strategies and tactics

Hospital and health system leaders are uniquely positioned to deploy strategies and solutions to advance health equity, diversity and inclusion and share those successes broadly, writes Joy Lewis, AHA senior vice president of health equity strategies and executive director of the AHA’s Institute for Diversity and Health Equity, in a blog post highlighting a new resource released today.

The four Health Equity Resource Series toolkits will focus on the foundational pillars to accelerate progress toward achieving health equity.

The first toolkit addresses the importance of segmenting and leveraging patient data to address disparate care outcomes and drive improvements.
