Health Equity: Ensuring the Best Care for Every Patient
At Valley Children’s, advancing health equity is a foundational element of our mission. We are dedicated to ensuring that all individuals, regardless of their background, receive the highest quality of care to ensure they have the best outcomes. Through an established Equity Steering Committee, Valley Children’s has ensured an equity lens in all clinical care to identify, mitigate and eliminate any disparities if present within the network as a measure to promote equitable care for all kids by:
- Establishing foundations to ensure optimal processes for identifying and resolving any safety disparities
- Conducting a gap analysis of our solutions to patient safety
- Ensuring that data is complete and accurate as it relates to race/ethnicity
- Adopting metrics for safety disparities data
- Increasing awareness through education
- Promoting policy and processes that support the delivery of equitable care
- Data transparency
Our commitment to health equity directly contributes to our outstanding healthcare outcomes and is at the heart of everything we do. It guides us in our efforts to improve the health of our patients, resulting in care that is not only exceptional but also fair and accessible to all.
