Introducing a Lens of Equity into Healthcare Delivery Measurement Systems
What you'll learn
Building upon their strength in analytics and quality improvement processes, NorthShore began to look at these challenges as opportunities to use their measurement systems by introducing a lens of social equity into our analyses. In this presentation, NorthShore shares how they are beginning the journey to develop tools that allow us to understand performance in metrics stratified by social equity measures. We also share the governance structures they developed to oversee this journey assembled from a cross-functional team across NorthShore.
Learning Objectives:
- Develop a measurement system strategy that incorporates a lens of equity stratification into existing metrics
- Create a governance and improvement structure that brings multiple key stakeholders in an organization to provide guidance, navigate challenges, and create accountability for new equity metrics
- Articulate the challenges around measuring social equity and the data ingredients (internal and external) that can be considered
- Build data visualizations and geographic maps that help explain social equity across your health system’s market area
