Equity is important to us at MPHI.

The data on Health inequalities are unequivocally compelling. At UMMS we walk the talk with a laser focus on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion. The amazing Dr. Tiffany Wiggins leads several initiatives addressing Health Equity. #UMMSProud #HealthEquity.
Dr. Tiffany Wiggins, VP and Chief Health Equity Officer for the University of Maryland Medical System, recently participated in an expert panel for The Baltimore Banner’s “Legacy Builders” event. The discussion, “The Medical Divide: Addressing Inequities and Injustice in Health Care," included Lester Davis, VP and Chief of Staff for CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield and was hosted by John-John Williams IV, a diversity, equity, and inclusion reporter at The Baltimore Banner. During the panel, Dr. Wiggins described her journey to becoming a health equity enthusiast and emphasized how patients, providers, and systems can address medical bias. She reminded us that we “measure what we treasure” and that healthcare organizations can more meaningfully advance equity by leveraging the insights and expertise of community partners to identify root causes and design cross-sector solutions.

Last week my colleague Kathryn E. Phillips, Senior Program Officer with the California Health Care Foundation, and our health care community partners shared with the California Assembly Health Committee how state leaders can help create a more diverse health care workforce, and how such efforts can improve patients’ health access, experiences, and outcomes. What are solutions for building a diverse workforce that looks more like and can best serve the state’s population, especially the 15 million Californians enrolled in Medi-Cal? 1. Improve the disaggregation of data to better understand the language needs of Medi-Cal patients. 2. Increase academic scholarship funding and student loan repayment resources for early career professionals who want to work in underserved communities. 3. Advance holistic admission processes at all health profession schools in California, especially medical, dental, and pharmacy programs. 4. Bolster allied health profession partnerships between California Community Colleges and California State University campuses. During the hearing, Kathryn noted that “there are no spot fixes,” and “our health workforce is a critical infrastructure. It’s the infrastructure of care. And just like our roads or our bridges, we need regular assessment. We need infrastructure upgrades. Our workforce deserves more. Our patients need care.” Learn more about the hearing and how California can champion health workforce diversity: https://lnkd.in/gpQf7Jfg.

Insightful article below by the New England Journal of Medicine highlighting the importance of health-related social needs, which are social and economic needs individuals experience such as employment, safety, and shelter, that affect their ability to sustain their health. Locally, focusing on these social factors through community-based organisations like NGOs, would help to lessen the burden on the health system, reduce inequality culminated by lack of access and financial strain, and improve overall health outcomes. Individuals can also relate to community leaders more through shared culture, living standards and needs, which further assists with breaking education barriers and stigma attached to some healthcare services. An example is with community-based mental health services endorsed the World Health Organisation, which follow a person-centred approach designed to align healthcare to basic human rights. #healthequity #healthoutcomes #HRSNs #TransformingHealthcare #CurisHealthcareSolutions https://lnkd.in/djyvis2F
