Disparities/Inequities in Healthcare

Sponsored by North Carolina Healthcare Association (NCHA)

Healthcare organizations, by their very nature, seek to provide opportunities of the highest level of care for all patients to attain their optimal level of health regardless of their race, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, socioeconomic status, geography, preferred language, or other social determinant of health.   Unfortunately, there may be disparities in how organizations provide care without them even realizing they exist.   Our presentation will explore the regulatory expectations of organizations in their quest to identify and mitigate these preventable differences that affect access to care and health outcomes.
