Humanize Healthcare: How to Balance Equity with Efficiency
Tuesday, Nov. 23, 2021 | 1:00 p.m. CT (12:00 p.m. ET)
In this webinar, Dr. Courthney Russell, Jr., and Emily Braucher will deliver a dynamic and interactive program that challenges participants to consider how the need to be efficient is in constant tension with equitable healthcare. Bringing perspectives from their radically different backgrounds, Courthney and Emily inspire people to address power dynamics in traditional medical practices and to get honest about how unconscious bias can appear. Participants will walk away with a shared vision of how an equitable medical practice leads to more accurate diagnosis, improved medical outcomes and greater financial sustainability. You will leave knowing which small changes can make a big difference.
Objectives
- Distinguish the difference between equity and equality in healthcare.
- Analyze the impact of the traditional way of conceptualizing “efficiency.”
- Learn a new habit that can improve medical outcomes for diverse populations.
