Activity about Equity in Healthcare
From IHI: Watch the video on this link and facilitate a discussion with the questions below.
- Have you ever seen a patient who was “left out” of the system? What did it teach you?
- How does health equity relate to one’s responsibility as a health care provider, in Dr. Reede’s view? Do you agree? Why or why not?
- What does Dr. Reede mean when she says, “privilege allows you to put a blinder on”? How might your perspective on health equity change depending on your social status?
- Why does Dr. Reede encourage people to work with others to address disparities?
