The term health equity has found its way into business plans, patient-facing documents, regulations, initiatives, and the news. A recent Deloitte report noted that over 80% of c-suite executives spanning healthcare organizations and the life sciences anticipate a 2024 focus on improved health equity, flagging it as a top 10 goal for the year. In particular, the CDC calls for addressing social determinants of health (SDoH) as a primary method to deliver on health equity goals.
With such emphasis on both terms and a drive to incorporate them into healthcare, organizations can benefit from support to ensure they steer clear of using SDoH as a buzzword, and instead hit the mark of health equity results. Ultimately, moving beyond mere talk about SDoH and into action matters for healthcare groups’ abilities to succeed in value-based care models and beyond.
