1. STAY ACCOUNTABLE TO RELIABLE DATA: we need to reliably collect and share stratified data📊--about race, ethnicity, language, SES/geography...and more. No quality without 📷equity lens. kff.org/08ffa5c/
3. SPEAK OUR PATIENTS' LANGUAGES & BUILD TRUST-Metaphorically and literally, we can only communicate if we use meaningful words, concepts and trusted messengers. No equity without language access. @AliciaFMD@KBibbinsDomingo@elainekhoong@LashNolen@gcsmd
4. BRING DIVERSE STAKEHOLDERS, COMMUNITY, & PATIENT VOICES INTO THE ROOM WHERE IT HAPPENS @TheLizArmy@AnupamBJena@ReedeScholars@LisaRotenstein @https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp2032224#.YHJzuMlQhsU.twitter
5. EMBRACE EQUITY AND ANTI-RACISM AS GUIDING PRINCIPLES & VALUES -Brave leaders 🫂 change ➡️less powerful can speak up and be heard. Inclusive cultures empower higher quality care🙏BILH
