For decades, disparities in healthcare have been well documented in the U.S. and regrettably, remain prevalent despite evidence and appeals for their elimination. This is leading healthcare payers and providers to broaden the scope of health-influencing factors they address to include social determinants of health (SDOH) – economic and environmental conditions that both directly and indirectly impact one’s health – like income, access to health food, and access to transportation. SDOH analytics show that these conditions influence health inequities and have a massive effect on population health outcomes. Compared to the majority, racial and ethnic minorities continue to have poorer health status and health outcomes for most chronic conditions. Many factors, such as affordability, accessibility and diversity in the healthcare system influence care and outcomes, creating challenges that make the task of eliminating health disparities and achieving health equity daunting and elusive. Novel strategies are needed to bring about much needed change to the complex and evolving healthcare system.

Over the past several decades, diversity in the U.S. population has increased significantly and is expected to increase exponentially in the near future. As the population becomes more diverse, it is important to recognize the possibilities of new and emerging disparities. It is imperative that steps are taken to eliminate the current gap in care and prevent new disparities from developing. This conference will present challenges and offer recommendations for facilitating the process of eliminating health disparities and achieving health equity across diverse populations.

To advance SDOH efforts, organizations must think differently and consider how well they truly understand the needs of their patient populations and the role that SDOH programs will play in helping close health equity gaps in their community. As our population becomes more diverse and at greater risk for poor health outcomes due to the impact of negative social determinants of health, there is a growing need to coordinate services across the care continuum. Connecting and integrating social supports and services into healthcare is essential to address the broad range of social determinants that play such an important role in health and well-being. This conference will address how much of this can be achieved through various methods of increased collaboration among healthcare professionals. This conference will enable healthcare professionals can create a more holistic awareness of the biological, behavioral and social factors that impact health working together to build a more equitable healthcare system that enables better health outcomes for all.

The Accelerating Health Equity Conference brings together professionals focused on improving community and population health and building partnerships, as well as those striving to advance diversity and inclusion within hospital management and executive levels. They will focus on how to address systemic inequities that prevent individuals and their communities from achieving optimal health. Long-standing health care disparities and inequities have been illuminated and exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Systemic inequities, such as structural racism and economic disadvantages within diverse communities, are preventing individuals – and their communities - from achieving optimal health, leading to avoidable differences in health outcomes.

Health systems are increasingly focused on improving population health and health equity. A technology that can help address these issues is remote patient monitoring (RPM), which has benefits for patients – especially underserved, high-risk patients – as well as healthcare organizations. RPM can help health systems serve underserved patients outside of hospitals, streamline workflow and maximize resources. This webinar will focus on how remote patient monitoring is helping achieve the quintuple aim of improving population health, enhancing the experience of care, reducing costs, improving provider well-being, and advancing health equity.

Key webinar learning objectives include:

• Identifying the most pressing problems and challenges facing healthcare organizations
• Describing how RPM helps address these challenges
• Detailing the benefits of RPM for all stakeholders
• Highlighting the current status of reimbursement for RPM
• Analyzing how RPM helps improve health equity and enables providers to better care for underserved patients

The ever-shifting power dynamics between care providers, payers, pharmaceutical manufacturers, regulators, shareholders, and employers often leaves patients feeling powerless in achieving their personal health goals.

Taking action on advancing health equity is important for both better health outcomes and thriving communities. Discuss the pros and cons of pursuing health equity independently and via the accreditation process. Hear about the common challenges and potential solutions around data collection and management, trust, and leadership buy-in. Learn how accreditation can help align health plans and clinical care organizations around common health equity goals.

Differences in access across member populations contribute to disparities in health care and overall health and well-being. The traditional health care model has resulted in up to 82% of adults not receiving important preventive care such as cancer screenings and vaccinations. There is an opportunity for at-home testing to reshape the health care experience and address barriers to health care access such as location, transportation, education, and income. This webinar will explore the barriers impacting member access and how at-home testing programs can help close the gaps. A member of LetsGetChecked’s Partnership team will share how our at-home testing solutions enable more equitable healthcare access by meeting members where they are, and a LetsGetChecked client will share their experience leveraging an at-home screening program to help members overcome barriers to accessing important preventative care.
