Expert Insights about diversity and inclusion
Improve health equity by developing clinical empathy
To improve health equity, clinicians need to develop, showcase, and implement clinical empathy in their care delivery to help rebuild decades of medical mistrust among marginalized groups.
Patient education through DE&I
In the digital healthcare space, there can be so much information that it can be hard for patients to know what to trust. Better representing patients through diversity in healthcare education has been shown to help cut through that skepticism and improve health literacy.
Partnering with community health centers to reduce disparities
Health systems have an opportunity to partner with community health centers to reduce medical mistrust among historically marginalized groups, impacting health outcomes and equity.
Representation on the record
