Health care organizations have long strived to improve health equity. But in a post-pandemic world focused on identifying and reducing health disparities, it has become more important than ever to address these issues. Value-based care and mandated reporting metrics tied to health disparities are now becoming the norm, which requires new thinking and adequate solutions.

As a result, the Johns Hopkins ACG System team is thrilled to announce the release of a new and compelling e-guide, focused on inequities and disparities in health care and how to solve for them using the ACG System: Disparities in Health Care and How Population Health Analytics Can Help.

We created this guide to help organizations like yours develop a health equity strategy that is both impactful and effective. In the Health Equity e-guide, you’ll learn about:

• Best practices on data analysis
• How to analyze patient need using information you already have
• Features within the ACG System that provide you with a full understanding of race, ethnicity and other markers, to clearly define and understand your patient population
• A real-world case study that examines how one user used a layered approach to health equity using the ACG System

Additionally, in this e-guide, you will learn how to categorize patients using the ACG System’s newest functionality – Patient Need Groups. This output helps demystify unique patterns of patient health needs. You’ll also learn how to assess a patient’s social needs, how to project anticipated patient cost and the role a patient’s geography plays in their overall health.

We are very excited to announce the release of this brand new resource. We know it will be extremely beneficial to many in the population health analytics field. Click here to download the ACG System’s Health Equity e-guide today.
