Subject: [EQ] The Roadmap to Reduce Disparities
Roadmap to Reduce Disparities
“……….The Roadmap to Reduce Disparities is a guide for healthcare organizations to improve minority health and foster equity. It draws upon lessons learned from the results of Finding Answers’ 33 grantee projects, as well as the unique implementation challenges experienced at each site, and the results of 11 systematic reviews of the disparities-reduction literature.
The Roadmap’s six-step framework provides guidance for incorporating disparities-reduction efforts into the quality improvement efforts of health care organizations. It is designed so that various components of an equity-focused quality improvement agenda can be developed and implemented separately, simultaneously, or maintained throughout.
By following the Roadmap, healthcare professionals are guided through a standardized process to address equity, even though the causes of disparities may vary across regions or patient populations. The Roadmap’s recommended processes allow organizations to ensure a comprehensive systematic process that is tailored to the unique challenges of an organization’s patient population….”
The
six-step framework:
1. Link Quality & Equity
2. Create a Culture of Equity
3. Diagnose the Disparity
4. Design the Activity
5. Secure Buy-in - concrete support of all stakeholders
6. Implement Change: Start small - Measure change - Be adaptable

The RWJF national program Finding Answers developed a
six-step framework to help people and organizations reduce disparities.
Now available in a simple graphic that’s easy to distribute—or tack up above your desk—the Roadmap can help you fit reducing disparities into all health care quality improvement efforts.
