The equity imperative: A roundtable on transforming healthcare

In the Roundtable titled "A Glimpse at How Stakeholders Are Working Towards Achieving Health Equity," published in the peer-reviewed journal Health Equity, two expert panel discussions examine efforts to achieve maternal health equity and changes that health systems can make to operationalize health equity.

The moderator of the panel discussion titled "Efforts to Achieve Maternal Health Equity Today" is Laurie Zephyrin, MD, MPH, MBA, Senior Vice President, Advancing Health Equity, The Commonwealth Fund. The discussion focuses on what health systems can do to improve maternal health outcomes and what are the current opportunities to develop and/or modify policies to improve maternal health care.

The moderator of the panel discussion titled "Changes Health Systems Can Make to Operationalize Health Equity" is Morenike Ayo-Vaughan, Program Officer, Advancing Health Equity, The Commonwealth Fund. The discussion focused on the strategies deployed to ensure the accurate collection of race, ethnicity, and language data by healthcare stakeholders, and what measures health systems and providers are utilizing and adopting to get a good sense of how they are achieving health equity.
