Health Equity Research

[jakefishbein-navapbc]

Problem to Address From Max: The specific initiative is prioritizing which senders to pursue later this year and into 2025. We'll have the STLTs by the fall, and we need to start getting more data producers.

Flesh this out to include the specifics of both RS context and health trends

Intended Outcomes Develop a list of Senders that will produce data to help mitigate health inequities for specific conditions, demographics, and geographies.

OR

Develop a list of priority areas (STLTs, conditions, demographics) that could be addressed with the right data in order to inform potential sender recruitment.

Proposed Scope TBD

Proposed Approach

1. Literature Review

• Define Health Equity in the context of ReportStream’s sphere of influence
• Identify and describe well documented barriers to health equity as it relates to data reporting
• Identify and describe existing trends and concepts to address these barriers

2. Condition Equity Audit (Nationally? Need to identify scope of conditions)

• Level of disparity in outcomes
• Level of disparity in reporting
• Existing initiatives

3. STLT Equity Audit (Need to determine which to include - or all if possible)

• Level of disparity in outcomes
• Level of disparity in reporting
• Existing initiatives

4. Synthesis: Develop list of prioritized areas of need

• Targeted conditions, demographics, and geographies to prioritize

5. Data Producer Audit

• What available sources could be connected to ReportStream in order to address the prioritized areas identified above?
• Identify data producers that work in the specific areas identified
• Identify their current reporting practices and efficacy

6. Synthesis: Develop a list of data producers that address the prioritized areas of need

• Name of producer
• Data produced
• Areas of need their data addresses
• Motivation to join RS
