Improving health outcomes, reducing disparities and creating a more equitable world
The goal of health equity is to make sure everyone gets the high-quality care they deserve, according to their specific needs. At Accenture, we believe that humanizing healthcare for all members of the community involves taking a health equity lens to every aspect of healthcare delivery.
In this video, Dr. Ankoor Shah, Accenture’s Health Equity Lead, talks with Dan Miller, CEO of Spora Health, a telemedicine provider focused on health equity. Together, they explore what health equity means and how data-driven, artificial intelligence-powered tools can help health organizations make more culture-centered decisions and increase equitable outcomes for patients.
New research from Accenture and HIMSS Market Insights reveals that 93% of U.S. healthcare executives believe that health equity initiatives are important and 89% agree that such initiatives are part of their core business strategy.
