Achieving Equity in an Era of Innovation and Health System Transformation
March 11-14, 2013, Oakland, California
New partnerships between health care organizations and communities, research into improved ways to deliver care, and changes in health care policy are opening up opportunities to achieve equity and the highest quality health care for culturally diverse populations. In this time of transition, practitioners, policymakers, researchers, and advocates for health equity can focus attention on implementation, participation and improving health outcomes for individuals and communities. The 2013 conference will offer participants the opportunity to hear from experts and front-line leaders about how diverse populations are affected by:
state and national reform efforts
changes to the Medicaid program
innovative technology for information management and outreach
social determinants of health
