Health care disparities undermine the ability for patients to receive timely and accurate diagnoses, access to optimal treatments, and achievement of best possible outcomes. Each patient’s journey is inherently tied to their surrounding circumstances, including individual social determinants of health (SDoH), geographic location, as well as structural racism and systemic bias in the medical community. Such factors lead to health inequities and impact the patient experience throughout their care journey and ultimately impact their health outcome.
In this live CME Outfitters webcast, expert faculty will discuss unconscious bias, racial and ethnic disparities, and health inequities and lay the foundation to implement real-world strategies and actionable steps for health care professionals (HCPs) and non-HCPs, including office, administrative, and support staff. This webcast will also integrate the patient perspective and allow learners to recognize how patients are impacted throughout their care and best practices that can improve care and outcomes for all.
At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:
- Analyze racial and ethnic disparities resulting in health inequities in patient care.
- Develop a team-based approach to improve the patient experience during visits.
- Determine treatment based on SDoH to improve accessibility and success of patient care and outcomes.
