📣 The Deloitte Health Equity Institute (DHEI) has just released Volume 2 of the Health Equity through Analytics (HExA) series. The report shares data and insights that demonstrate how social connectedness – measured at the family and community levels – is a driver of health, particularly in lower-income communities. It delves into how increasing the availability of physical community spaces can enhance overall health and wellness. 🏞️ 🏙️ Key findings include: 1. Population-level data can help identify communities that could benefit from increased connectedness. 2. Community infrastructure - such as social and civic organizations, libraries, child day care centers - plays a significant role in promoting mental and physical health. 3. Investments in social connectedness in lower-income counties can potentially yield the greatest impact on health outcomes. 4. Collaboration among health care organizations, community stakeholders, and health care payers is crucial for driving improvements in health outcomes through social connectedness. Dive into the research today to gain insights on physical social connectedness, both within family units and the broader community. Learn about its potential implications for health, and how community leaders can foster environments to enhance health outcomes for their neighborhood: https://deloi.tt/4b7N0zP #HealthEquity #SocialConnectedness #DeloitteHealthEquityInstitute #HExASeries Authors: Elya Popoyan, Nicole Kelm, Jay Bhatt

"Overall, advancing health equity remains a moderate to high priority for most organizations surveyed, with varying levels of investment, leadership, strategic maturity and capabilities to advance identified priorities," the EY 2024 Health Equity Outlook Report says. Significantly, the role of different organizations in health equity prioritization is underscored. Government organizations, especially federal bodies and those with over $1 billion in revenue and more mature health equity strategies are likely to report higher levels of health equity prioritization, highlighting their crucial role in this endeavor. Consistent with last year’s findings, the specific factors and issues prioritized within health equity programs are diverse. Health access and quality remain at the top—44% of organizations ranking it in their top three health equity priorities, up from 34% in 2023. Health equity strategy development was cited by roughly a third (34%), consistent with 2023 (33%). Another top area of focus cited was health outcomes disparity closure (31% of organizations). There was a significant—50%—increase in those citing data, AI, and technology as a priority. At the same time, a reduced focus was observed on healthcare costs and addressing upstream social determinants of health factors such as economic stability and inclusion, neighborhood and built environment, and broadband infrastructure and access.
