EY Health Equity Outlook Report Depicts Promising Findings on Health Equity Prioritization

EY’s second annual Health Equity Outlook Report reflects responses to a survey of 500 health equity executives from various facets of the health care industry. Based upon the results, 73% anticipate health equity to become a higher priority for their entities during the next year, with the majority anticipating increased investments. Nonetheless, the main challenges these leaders face in advancing health equity in their organizations are competing priorities, a lack of financial commitment, and absence of an articulated purpose for health equity.
