Advancing equity is a guiding principle for many programs that serve individuals and families, from gathering diversity data to addressing disparities in access to programs that meet social and health needs. Join this webinar for cross-system learning on advancing health equity. NORC at the University of Chicago is undertaking several important projects to understand how state Medicaid agencies are advancing health equity and will present findings on state Medicaid efforts in areas including:
- The extent to which social determinants of health are documented in state Medicaid data and state strategies for creating an environment that supports the documentation of that data,
- The state of race, ethnicity, and language data collection and state strategies for improving the collection of this data, and
- A framework for how state Medicaid agencies can advance health equity within their own programs and promote Medicaid system transformation towards health equity.
