Leading the Charge: Embedding Health Equity into the Forefront of Value Based Care
Thursday, April 6, from 12:15 to 1:15 p.m.
Despite the successes demonstrated by accountable care organizations (ACOs) over the last decade, health disparities remain a critical and ever-growing challenge. ACOs have the potential to advance health equity, but without intentionality and guardrails in place, they are also in a position to worsen existing health disparities. For ACOs to truly succeed in improving patient health outcomes for all, it's imperative that health equity is kept at the forefront of value-based care efforts. Click here to register.
