Ensuring health equity requires more than just good intentions—it demands measurable progress and accountability. Caretha Coleman, Chairman of BDHEA, emphasizes the critical need for transparency and holding leadership responsible for the progress made, or lack thereof. Don’t miss out on these critical insights in this article from Ron Southwick via Chief Healthcare Executive: https://lnkd.in/gJgH2Tey #HealthEquity #Accountability #BDHEA
The challenge with accountability is the need to arrive at consensus metrics, which in this case requires alignment of values and ways to operationalize them statistically. We can do better by creating more time to talk about values and by welcoming diversity and quality of thought. Statistics and quantitative training helps too.
👏Wonderful!!! Thanks for sharing🙏

1wEasy to measure. Hard to fix. Easy to quantify. Impossible to teach anyone in admin what good numbers should look like. You can place a thousand charts before their eyes monthly, generate an atlas of health at the age group/gender, race/sociocultural, inequity/socioeconomic, employment/subsidized, and disease classes level, (well, make that 10,000 per month or whatever after, automated in SAS), and they still will not get it. This already took place at the national level with the famous national pharma distributor (now a second owner, boy they were a failure! when they had so much potential!). COs are just way too ignorant of how to produce great data reporting, and never make that happen. You show me in one year what,!if anything, this group can and does doing the next 12-15 months. I see no potential here. I’ve heard no plans on releasing this spatial population health atlas, that is so easy to do with the proper direction and leader/director with the proper experience, know how, past achievements, and success. I still see a failed system here, no matter what new programs start up. You haven’t embraced your problems fully yet. My statistics and methods for NYC lowest income groups demonstrate this. Look them up.
