Equity is the cornerstone of healthcare. Nonetheless, institutional inequalities continue to challenge equitable access to care. It is our responsibility as health system leaders to dismantle the barriers within and help to level the playing field for the benefit of patients. This month, Founder and Executive Director Elizabeth Woodcock sits down with Nick Mah, Interim Senior Director of Access & Innovation at UW Medicine; Ryzell McKinney, EdD, MACD, CCCM, Director of Access Technology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center; and Pravina Mason, MHA, Executive Director of Patient Access Contact Center at Cedars-Sinai. Together, the team explores the intersection of access and equity in healthcare, sharing strategies to address systemic inequalities and create more equitable opportunities in ambulatory care.
