We’re excited to share the topic and questions for this week’s #HITsm chat happening Friday, 6/10 at Noon ET (9 AM PT). This week’s chat will be hosted by Brittany Quemby (@BrittLQ) from @hcittoday on the topic “Health Equity”.
I was recently chatting with a clinician that works at an FQHC in middle America. In our discussion, she talked about how she’s faced with health equity issues every day. She went on to say that we don’t have a healthcare problem, we have a poverty problem.
The words rang true and highlights many of the health equity issues clinicians face on a daily basis. We all know that health equity is a problem and SDoH are at the core of the issues. However, what do we do about it? What can we do about it?
Join us for this week’s #HITsm chat where we’ll be discussing the following topics.
