In June, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) hosted a critical workshop exploring the development and implementation of health equity measures. Experts discussed the challenges and opportunities in using these metrics to address disparities in health care and other sectors. The proceedings emphasized the need for cross-sector collaboration, and the integration of health equity measures into policy and practice to drive meaningful change in health outcomes. This event marks a significant step towards more equitable health-care systems.
