Improving health equity through health care systems research.
This study’s objective was to describe health equity research priorities for health care delivery systems and delineate a research and action agenda that generates evidence-based solutions to persistent racial and ethnic inequities in health outcomes. This project was conducted as a component of the AHRQ stakeholder engaged process to develop an Equity Agenda and Action Plan to guide priority setting to advance health equity. The stakeholders included experts from academia, health care organizations, industry, and government. Five priority themes were derived iteratively through experts from academia, health care organizations, industry, and government. They identified six priority themes for research; (1) institutional leadership, culture, and workforce; (2) data-driven, culturally tailored care; (3) health equity targeted performance incentives; (4) health equity-informed approaches to health system consolidation and access; (5) whole person care; (6) and whole community investment. They also suggested cross-cutting themes regarding research workforce and research timelines.
