When the nonprofit behind the most popular performance measurement tool implemented health equity measures, it begged the question: how can healthcare organizations measure equity?
Healthcare industry leaders recognize the importance of the overarching issue. Almost 90 percent of healthcare executives agreed that health equity should be one of the industry’s priorities.
“We know what we can’t see and what we can’t measure, we can’t fix.
