| Health Equity Action Collaborative -- Starting Tuesday, May 9th! |
Currently, we are looking for individuals and teams who would like to participate in our Health Equity Action Collaborative! In collaborative, participants will receive support in taking their chosen health project from an idea to developing a plan that can be implemented within their organization. Health equity will be centered in the design process through education, discussion, and peer engagement. The action collaborative is open to individuals working within the healthcare ecosystem (clinicians, delivery sites, QI teams, purchasers, plans) interested in improving health outcomes while promoting equitable practices. We plan to host 2-hour monthly meetings from May through the end of the year. The first meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, May 9th from 2-4 PM PT. We ask that participants attend each meeting and have their health topic align with a Bree report guideline. Please contact Emily Robson at erobson@qualityhealth.org for more information.
