Name
Collaboration in Action: How two clinics advanced Health Equity & Patient Engagement through data.
Description

This session is conducted by an interdisciplinary team of Collaborative Care individuals representing two agencies, three clinics, that embarked on an initiative through Premera (insurance entity) around Health Equity. We will explore the critical role of having baseline data for measuring disparities and tracking progress. Presenters will share their experiences, challenges and success in using the data to drive equitable care improvements. Attendees will gain insights into key outcomes, including both data collection and measurable impacts on patient health.
