The Impact Stage

Tegria Health Equity Impact Session

Technology access bias is undermining efforts to attain equity in healthcare, but where does that bias come from? What is techquity and how can it help ensure the proliferation of technologies that reduce disparities, rather than perpetuate inequities? How can industry work with stakeholder communities to build more equitable health tech? Join Leon Caldwell, Ph.D., Senior Director of the Institute for Diversity and Health Equity at the American Hospital Association and Theresa Demeter, MHA, Managing Director of Clinical Transformation at Tegria as they discuss approaches to mitigating bias in the development and utilization of healthcare technology.

Bamboo Health Health Equity Impact Session

In July, Americans were given an easy-to-remember number to call, text or chat – 988 – when faced with a behavioral health crisis. The goal of 988 is to connect those in need with appropriate mental health response, instead of law enforcement or medical emergency response. But there are still challenges in the way to an equitable response for all, including varied resources, awareness, and stigma. This fireside chat will explore ways 988 has opened behavioral health access and what remains a challenge for the initiative regarding health equity.

ZS Health Equity Impact Session

Science is delivering amazing innovations, but these are not benefiting enough people. In a 2022 ZS study of 4,000 U.S. consumers, half said, “The healthcare system doesn’t care about people like me.” Outcomes can differ dramatically along lines of race, sex, and socioeconomics—for example, Black women are 42% more likely than white women to die of breast cancer. To create a more equitable future, it isn’t groundbreaking science we lack—it’s connected pathways and creative adaptations of innovation to ensure clear value and better access. In this session, health plan execs and life sciences leaders will hear practical advice to help prioritize efforts, adapt services and connect with providers and industry partners to reach more people and improve health outcomes for all.

Despite being the best form of prevention against serious infectious diseases, young adults ages 18-25 lack confidence in vaccines and are reluctant to stay up to date with important vaccinations: 35% of young adults in this age group in the U.S. haven’t completed their primary COVID-19 vaccine series. Join Novavax and Hip Hop Public Health (HHPH) as we explore barriers to vaccine uptake, review learnings from a national campaign and discuss approaches for achieving equitable access to vaccines across communities, regions, and demographics.

Clover Health Health Equity Impact Session

While not necessarily intentional, the way healthcare is structured today tends to exclude people of color, who have waged a generations-long battle against systemic racism, from equitable access to quality care. This session will explore the role that health systems, payers, and other healthcare organizations have to play in challenging these inequities and why doing so isn’t only morally right, but strategically savvy.

NTT Data Health Equity Impact Session

The future of healthcare is focusing on what’s important to individual patients as part of their health and wellbeing journey. This requires building trust and transparency across the entire ecosystem through technology-enabled, proactive collaboration. But becoming a digital organization is not just about technology. Organizations need to balance their investments across people, process, and technology to meet people where they are and in achieving this balance, can make progress in addressing health disparities.

Memora Health Health Equity Impact Session

Did you know that some patient populations are regularly excluded from the benefits of digital care? With app-based and password-protected technologies at the forefront of the digital health revolution, systematically disadvantaged populations and their traditionally lower digital literacy, smartphone ownership, and limited broadband access compared to the general population get left in the innovative dust. However, 97%+ of people own a cellphone as of 2020, and easily accessible SMS has shown to be an effective communication medium for patients of all ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds. Here&#39;s your invitation to next-generation care delivery, where an analog-first patient engagement approach paired with a powerful digital care team platform mitigates bias, improves engagement and health outcomes, and closes the digital divide for populations at risk of health inequities.

AMA Health Equity Impact Session

Equity in health innovation moves toward a future by prioritizing investment in health solutions developed by, with, and for Black, Latinx, Indigenous, and other communities of color; women; LGBTQ+ communities; communities with disabilities; communities with low wealth; rural communities; and other communities historically marginalized by the health industry. Those experiencing or most proximate to people with the greatest burden and difficulties in maintaining health and well-being often can imagine, contribute, and createthe most relevant solutions, and however, are often not a part of the existing ecosystem and decisions to fun and build solutions, even considering overwhelming evidence demonstrating that innovation is only as great as the diversity contributing to it. In Full Health, established by the American Medical Association in collaboration with their Equity and Innovation Advisory Committee, provides a framework for shared understanding as well as a network committed to learning and action to embed equity within their health innovation investment, development, and purchasing efforts. Along with our leading founding collaborator organizations and Action Community, we have launched and developed a package of resources and tools from our website InFullHealth.org and our recently released Equitable Health Innovation Solution Development Toolkit to support, connect, engage, and learn with and from each other to advance equitable health innovation.
