The Roadmap is a guide to improving health equity by deploying digital health solutions and better use of data and analytics that target disparities and measure progress, delivered through expanded access to supportive models of health insurance coverage and care delivery. The Roadmap is based on recommendations from the September 2021 virtual health equity summit organized by Eli Lilly & Company and NEHI, in collaboration with Avalere Health.
“Equity in Health and Health Care: A Roadmap to Collaborative Action” summarizes and expands upon key takeaway points and recommendations from the September 2021 virtual Health Equity Summit, co-hosted by Eli Lilly & Company and NEHI in collaboration with Avalere Health. The Roadmap outlines collaborations that can advance equitable health care and health outcomes for Americans who suffer from longstanding disparities and lists recommendations under three priority areas that impact health equity:
Digital health and connectivity
Data and analytics-driven health care
Supportive health access
In addition to recommendations under the above three fields, the Roadmap also outlines four principles for collaborative action among the private sector, community-based, and government organizations:
A shared strategic focus on equitable and measurable health outcomes
New commitment to non-traditional partnerships
New investment in community-based infrastructure that is critical to improving care and outcomes
Collaboration on advocacy to promote high-priority, time-sensitive changes in policy
