THE HEALTH EQUITY ROADMAP


A NATIONAL INITIATIVE TO DRIVE IMPROVEMENT IN HEALTH CARE OUTCOMES, HEALTH
EQUITY, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION.




ABOUT THE HEALTH EQUITY ROADMAP

The Health Equity Roadmap is a framework to help hospitals and health care
systems chart their own paths toward transformation — thus becoming more
equitable and inclusive organizations.

The American Hospital Association (AHA) vision is of a just society of healthy
communities, where all individuals reach their highest potential for health.
Through its Institute for Diversity and Heath Equity, the AHA seeks to eliminate
structural barriers that compromise diversity, equity and inclusion in hospitals
and health care systems.




START YOUR JOURNEY


THE HEALTH EQUITY TRANSFORMATION ASSESSMENT, AN ELECTRONIC ASSESSMENT TOOL, WILL
PROVIDE HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS WITH THEIR CURRENT POSITION ON THE HEALTH
EQUITY JOURNEY.

The results from the assessment will serve as both a diagnostic of current state
and a baseline to provide a structure and process for continuous improvement
toward transforming into a more equitable and inclusive health care system.
