We are excited to introduce the Health Equity Advisory Team HEAT that is part of the HCPLAN initiative. This team was established with a mission to identify opportunities and prioritize strategies for advancing health equity using alternative paymentAPMs. Our focus revolves around making necessary healthcare more accessible, enhancing patient outcomes, and reducing disparities.
The HEAT combines expertise from both regional and national leaders in health equity initiatives as well as subject matter experts who are deeply committed to mitigating health inequities in our nation's healthcare system. This team has been designed to apply APM principles intentionally with the m of addressing factors that drive health inequity.
We delve into critical areas like patient experiences, priorities, and perceptions to shape the HCPLAN's annual priorities and initiatives based on their insights.
Join us as we embark on this journey towards achieving healthcare equity. Stay updated by subscribing to our HCPLAN newsletter for regular updates and engagement opportunities with the HEAT.
