CAPC's National Briefing Reveals What Goes Wrong with Black People Living with Serious Illness
On October 27, CAPC held a national briefing, "Key Findings and Opportunities from CAPC’s National Scan on Improving Care for Black Patients". The expert panel, which consisted of Diane E. Meier, MD, FACP, FAAHPM, Brittany Chambers, MPH, MCHES, Kimberly Johnson, MD, and Brynn Bowman, MPA, CEO, revealed findings from its literature review and national scan. They also discussed promising interventions of successful, scalable models to improve care for this population, opportunities to reduce racial disparities, and much more.
For those interested in joining CAPC's ongoing conversations around health equity, the upcoming Virtual Office Hour, "Achieving Health Equity and Reducing Implicit Bias in Palliative Care", offers an opportunity for CAPC members to connect with peers around health equity and reducing implicit bias in palliative care. Additionally, both members and non-members can participate in an open-access Basecamp discussion regarding health equity strategies and interventions.
