Equity Weighting To Advance Equity

In the October issue of Health Affairs, Denis Agniel and coauthors propose equity weighting, which assigns quantitative goals for each dimension of equity, as a way to incorporate equity into health care quality measurement ([link removed] ) .

They find that “most existing quality measurement efforts do not explicitly target or incentivize health equity,” and that current quality measurement approaches for equity “might not uniformly incentivize improving care for disadvantaged groups.”

Instead, they outline a new equity-weighting measurement approach “which ensures that quality measurement has the desired incentive structure to focus on improving equity,” among other benefits.

Using colorectal screening data as an example, they show that equity weighting has the desired incentive structure to focus efforts on improving equity.
