April is National Minority Health Month, an annual observance that calls attention to the need to address health disparities that persist among racial and ethnic minority communities. Phreesia proudly advocates for accessible, high-quality healthcare for all, and our digital tools help healthcare organizations improve health equity. With the Patient Activation Measure® (PAM®), a tool that measures a patient’s knowledge, skills and confidence to self-manage their health, providers can gain insight into the specific needs of each patient, including those from historically underserved communities. Learn how the PAM transforms the way healthcare organizations serve patients: https://bit.ly/4bgGo2T

Here's my latest publication on leadership and health equity. This research suggests that non-state actors play a crucial role in managing global health crises due to their values, community ties, and dedication to service. The chapter examines the roles and functions of these organizations in healthcare, emphasizing their potential to bridge the access and equity gap in global health. This publication is important because it recognizes the changing geopolitical landscape and proposes a novel approach involving faith-based organizations as key partners in addressing health disparities. #healthcare #equity #healthcareinnovation #policymaking

Join us on Tuesday, 2 July for a free webinar to mark the launch of 'Earning Trust: A Foundation for Health Equity.' Trust is a fundamental tenet of healthcare. Yet many people from traditionally under-represented groups have lost that trust after experiencing differences in care, perceived discrimination, and worse health outcomes than people from well-represented groups. The result? They don’t get appropriate care, which can lead to delayed detection, diagnosis and treatment for many conditions. Our new report, Earning Trust: A Foundation for Health Equity, which will be launched before the webinar, delves into the many ways in which health systems can address inequity by gaining the trust of under-represented communities. What you can expect: Experts from around the world will share their experiences and discuss actions to embed inclusivity in healthcare. Those who led and contributed to the report will give insights into our findings and welcome your questions and comments in a live Q&A. See you there! Thank you Lucy Morgan and all at The Health Policy Partnership team for the fantastic work on this.
