Question

You are the designated leader of the health care equity improvement team at your facility. Patient assessments for health-related social needs (HRSNs) have been completed, and the quality improvement team used stratified sociodemographic data to identify that African American patients have higher rates of readmission for heart failure than other groups. The team developed a written action plan to address this disparity, which includes providing culturally competent education, arranging follow-up appointments, and coordinating with community resources. According to The Joint Commission (TJC), what is the next step in the process? Focus on another patient population. Update the key stakeholders on the progress towards improved health equity at least annually. Implement the action plan and evaluate the results.
