Analysis on Academic Medical Centers’ Directional Strategies for Health Equity.
Master Essay, University of Pittsburgh.
Abstract
This objective of this paper is to analyze how U.S. AMCs include health equity in their directional strategy to close gaps in healthcare. The paper uses peer-reviewed publications discovered through Google Scholar and PubMed Central. The public health relevance section acknowledges the contributions of AMCs to the U.S. health system through research, education, and clinical practice. The literature review highlights frameworks such as quintuple aim, discusses relevant terminology, and describes practical ways to increase health equity. The case study reveals the complex reality of implementing health equity at AMCs, considering geographic and sociopolitical factors. Four major AMCs demonstrate patterns that might be reflective of their regions’ attitudes towards health equity. Overall, this paper demonstrates how AMCs can prioritize health equity in their directional strategy to close gaps in the U.S. healthcare system.
