The roadmap focuses on four actions:
● Prioritizing measures that can help identify and monitor disparities
● Implementing evidence-based interventions to reduce disparities
● Investing in the development and use of measures to assess disparity-reducing interventions
● Providing incentives to reduce disparities
The NQF developed the roadmap with input from nearly 24 public-and private-sector healthcare stakeholders, including payers, providers, consumers and patients. The organization will support stakeholders in implementing the aforementioned action steps through a new NQF Health Equity Program, said Shantanu Agrawal, MD, NQF’s president and CEO. The program is set to launch in October.
