Washington Health Alliance invites
medical directors and quality leaders to a
Disparities in Care meeting on
Friday, September 11
10:00 AM to 12:00 PM
Cambia Grove, 1800 9th Avenue, Suite 250, Seattle
Join the Washington Health Alliance at an event to discuss the results from its third report on Disparities in Care. This report has been expanded to include results for Skagit, Spokane and Whatcom counties, along with results from King, Kitsap, Pierce, Snohomish and Thurston counties.
The event will also feature an interactive conversation with a panel of local health plan leaders. The panel will share information about innovations that health plans are working on to address disparities, in light of evolving accreditation requirements. The event is part of the Alliance’s continuing effort to identify and address the issue of disparities in our state.
Along with the summary of results presented at the meeting, medical directors and quality leaders in attendance will receive a detailed, hard copy report for their medical group. Medical groups will see only their own results, and the Alliance will not be sharing medical group level results publicly.
The Disparities in Care results are produced by stratifying the Community Checkup quality measures by race, ethnicity, and language for Medicaid beneficiaries in the state of Washington. Previous reports and county-level results can be found at: http://wahealthalliance.org/alliance-reports-websites/alliance-reports/.
Feel free to forward the invitation to other quality leaders within your organization.
We hope to see you there!
