Merging The Quality and Access Gap in Healthcare

Episode 53: Merging the quality and access gap in healthcare.

Today, healthcare is at a pivotal inflection point for how we utilize patient data and build out value-based care bundles that help improve access for better overall patient care.

According to the American Medical Association, recent studies have shown that despite improvements in the overall health of the country, racial and ethnic minorities experience a lower quality of healthcare—and they are less likely to receive routine medical care and face higher rates of morbidity and mortality than nonminority individuals.

We must continue to drive the change in healthcare disparities.
