While federal regulators and accrediting bodies have championed national health equity initiatives, the COVID-19 pandemic further underscored systemic health disparities and inspired action. Socially Determined explores how healthcare and public health organizations continue to work toward equitable, person-centered care. This book provides healthcare executives with an overview of the essential elements of health equity and explains the relationship between value-based care, healthcare quality, and health equity. The book's core themes are the crucial role of community investments in improving the economic, social, and environmental realities of marginalized populations and the need for public-private partnerships to tackle issues at scale. Topics covered include new efforts to collect reliable data on social determinants of health and build a health analytics infrastructure to benchmark, monitor, and track progress toward health equity Mandates and accreditation requirements from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the Joint Commission, the National Committee for Quality Assurance, and the Public Health Accreditation Board are woven throughout the chapters.
