The Community Health Center Model
This week, we will learn about the community health center model and how it can help us achieve racial equity in healthcare. We will learn about how the community health center model is a critical provider of care, and what it means to implement and sustain these types of models.
Anti-Discrimination Health Laws and Policies
This week, we will learn about anti-discrimination laws and policies. We will critically examine how laws and policies help us get closer to racial equity in healthcare, while simultaneously critiquing the challenges of legal and policy mechanisms as interventions towards equity goals.
The Use of Provider Interventions to Reduce Differential Care
This week, we will learn about intervening at the provider level to address racial inequity. To understand the foundations of provider interventions, we must first have a basic understanding of concepts and definitions we often see associated with provider-level approaches to achieving health equity. We will then critically appraise approaches to intervention with providers.
Improving Quality and Access in Healthcare
This week, we will learn about what it means to improve the quality and access to healthcare. We first walk through what quality improvement is and what healthcare systems are doing from a data collection perspective to improve quality. We will then examine in-depth how healthcare systems are utilizing non-traditional provider roles within the healthcare team, such as community health workers and enrollment assisters to improve quality. We will examine what it means for hospitals to improve the health of their surrounding community.
