This week on Health Affairs Blog, we published a set of blog posts related to health equity.
In the first, David Kim and coauthors explain that value-based insurance design is one potential strategy to enhance access to necessary care for at-risk individuals.
Donna M. Christensen, Jim Manley, and Jason Resendez argue that medical algorithms are rife with racial bias and health equity must be built into the development and deployment of these algorithms.
Rachel Harrington and coauthors discuss how quality measurement can help narrow racial and ethnic disparities by shedding light on where current disparities exist.
This fall, we are delighted to introduce a new schedule of free virtual events designed to showcase exciting thinkers, policy makers and policies; drill deeper into our signature content; and hone the skills of a new generation of health policy researchers and aficionados.
Based on the success of our Policy Spotlight series (last session included more than 1,300 registrants), we are expanding our events program to include Lunch & Learns, a Journal Club, and professional development sessions.
