In 2022, UHF convened a task force of 22 leaders from nine local hospital systems. The group’s goals were to develop a framework to help organizations better understand the drivers of inequities and to identify and share promising practices from task force members to help advance health equity throughout the city.
A new report, Practical Approaches to Centering Equity in Health Care Quality: Shared Lessons from New York City’s Hospital Systems, chronicles this critical work and shares lessons and insights on how to coordinate efforts to improve health equity and health care quality. The ultimate goal: reduce persistent health disparities that exist across the city.
The Bridging Quality and Equity Task Force was supported by a grant from the Donald A. Pels Charitable Trust.
