Approaches to Designing Equity-Centered Quality Improvement Projects
Equity-centered QI explicitly prioritizes eliminating health disparities experienced by marginalized and underserved communities by applying several key approaches to the project’s design and implementation.
This implementation spotlight describes effective approaches to designing equity-centered quality improvement projects to address disparities and advance equitable health care. The approaches presented are reinforced by practical examples from the Equity and Quality at Independent Practices in Los Angeles County (EQuIP-LA) Initiative. This spotlight builds upon the California Quality Collaborative’s (CQC) continued efforts to prioritize health equity across its programming and activities.
