The 2019 Hospital Quality Institute Conference — themed Respect, Reliability, Resilience — features sessions on the most critical issues facing quality and patient safety leaders and professionals.

Session Spotlight: Advancing Health Equity in an Integrated System
Featured speaker: Madrone Styles, system vice president, quality and clinical effectiveness, Office of Patient Experience, Sutter Health
Health care data often reveal a troubling trend — disparities in health outcomes across the different populations we serve. Sutter Health explored the health equity issue by examining 18 quality metrics by patient race and ethnicity. What began as a process of self-examination evolved into a strategic organizational approach to safeguard equity in quality outcomes. This session will outline how Sutter Health used metrics to capture and report on equity concerns, obtain leadership buy-in, raise awareness among staff, and develop community partnerships to advance health equity.
