These evidence maps are super useful to rapidly access research relevant to redesign of services with a focus on health equity in primary care

Racial and ethnic disparities in healthcare remain a major challenge in the U.S., limiting access to prevention and treatment for chronic conditions. This research highlights promising interventions like patient navigation and self-management support, but systemic gaps persist—especially for marginalized communities. Health equity is a responsibility we all share. By amplifying underrepresented voices and scaling inclusive solutions, we can build a healthcare system that works for everyone. Let’s collaborate to make this vision a reality.

As we step into a new year, it’s essential to reflect on the foundational lessons in healthcare equity and how they guide our path forward. A 2016 article, "Achieving Health Equity: Closing the Gaps in Health Care Disparities, Interventions, and Research," remains incredibly relevant today. While the article was published years ago, the barriers it highlights—ranging from disparities in cardiovascular care to cancer treatment—still persist. But it also reminds us of the solutions that continue to stand the test of time: ?? Community Partnerships: Collaboration with local organizations remains critical for addressing root causes of inequities. ?? Patient-Centered Care: Meeting patients where they are, culturally and geographically, drives better outcomes. ?? Data-Driven Interventions: Using targeted data insights helps reduce disparities and improve care delivery. The new year brings an opportunity to renew our focus, refine our approaches, and reimagine what equitable healthcare can look like. #HealthEquity #HealthcareLeadership #CommunityHealth #HealthcareInnovation #DEI #diversityequityinclusion

Two interesting examples showing how health equity requirements can take very different forms. Good analysis from Laura Armstrong-Brauer, Kim Meymandi, and Nikki Murdoch.

AOA member Selena Raines, DO, told Healio, “To drive real, lasting change in addressing social determinants of health, policymakers must shift their focus beyond identifying risks. The emphasis should be on developing and implementing practical resources that patients can access". https://bit.ly/4jpbNF9 #DOProud #OsteopathicMedicine

What is the evidence for integrating health, preventive health, and early years support for children and young people living in economically marginalised areas in OECD countries? Our co-clinical lead, Chris Bird, along with the University of Birmingham, has completed a systematic review around this issue as the UK government and NHS move to integrate health and social care: https://lnkd.in/emheuBqX

Say no more- we commissioned a research for one of our integrated health and social care services and the reach numbers were outstanding- ?- ‘Conclusions Integrated health and social support programmes offer promising solutions to addressing health inequity in children and young people in underserved populations. However, more robust and consistent study designs are needed to guide researchers and policy makers in their implementation and evaluation’.

In the intricate and complex world of healthcare, pathology stands as a cornerstone and backbone for the system. From diagnosing diseases to guiding treatment decisions, it plays a crucial role in patient care. However, to keep pace with evolving medical challenges and to further improve outcomes, investment in innovative technologies is critical. ?????? Emerging technologies in molecular diagnostics have the potential to revolutionise the field and can enhance diagnostic accuracy, speed up turnaround times and reduce costs.
