PCMH Northeastern PA 2.10.21

February 10, 2021

All healthcare providers and staff will need to be aware of the current condition at their organization. The mindset will need to be shifted by understanding the population and identify changes that reduce disparities.

The majority of the PCMH practices are not currently looking at their quality data by race and ethnicity, The current state of health care in the United States shows higher rates of chronic disease and premature death for racial and ethnic minorities. The PCMHs are minimally aware that our healthcare system does not allocate goods and resources equally and racism is institutionalized to the point that something needs to change in the established patterns, procedures and policies of practices.

Target Audience
