In this episode of The Health System CXO podcast, Host Jasmaine McClain, Ph.D. discusses how health systems can effectively address health disparities by embedding equity into every aspect of their operations. Jasmaine outlines five key hallmarks of committed health systems: 1) having a community-oriented board, 2) ensuring public-facing accountability, 3) fostering a "C-suite Justice League" for collaborative leadership, 4) having a CEO who openly learns and grows, and 5) avoiding the "smart talk trap," focusing on actionable change rather than just talking about it. Our THMA host also highlights examples of organizations successfully implementing these practices.

Key Takeaways:

1. Community-Oriented Board: Effective health systems engage community leaders to ensure their priorities align with the communities they serve.
2. Public Accountability: Transparency in progress and financial commitments is crucial, exemplified by Providence's public health equity report.
3. Collaborative Leadership: Health equity requires a team effort from the entire leadership, not just a single leader or department.
4. CEO's Public Learning: CEOs should embrace public learning, fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

Action Over Talk: Organizations should prioritize meaningful actions over merely discussing health equity.
