Your Health Systems CXO Podcast host Jasmaine McClain focuses on the intersection of health equity and healthcare quality, highlighting how health systems are integrating these two vital areas. Jasmaine also explores the growing trend of health equity teams reporting through quality leadership. She also touches on the challenges health systems face, such as administrative burdens in quality reporting and the nascent development of health equity strategies.

Key Takeaways:
1.Integration of Health Equity and Quality: Health systems are increasingly integrating health equity into their quality work, with many equity teams now reporting through quality leadership—a significant shift toward addressing health disparities.

2.Challenges in Quality Reporting: Administrative burdens remain a challenge for health systems, with immense resources required to meet quality reporting demands, as evidenced by research showing it can take over 100,000 person-hours for a single hospital to report on quality metrics.

3.Evolving Health Equity Strategies: Health equity is still an emerging focus, with most health equity executives in place for three years or less. Building the capacity and infrastructure to tackle equity challenges is still in its early stages.

4.Leading Examples in Health Equity: Organizations like Novant Health and NYC Health and Hospitals are leading the way by integrating equity into their strategies and operations, utilizing innovative approaches like trans-cultural health managers and diverse board leadership to drive progress.
