If you work for a healthcare organization, assess its approach to health equity following the framework. You can chose a local healthcare organization to research and assess instead. In your post, provide us
-with basics of the organization you chose (location, business type, level of care, population served…) in a very short paragraph.
Absolutely! Let’s analyze healthcare equity at Kaiser Permanente. Kaiser Permanente (KP) is a large integrated healthcare system operating in eight states and the District of Columbia. It functions as a non-profit health maintenance organization (HMO), providing comprehensive healthcare services to its members through a network of hospitals, clinics, and physicians. KP serves a diverse population with a focus on preventive care and patient-centered medicine. We will assess their approach to health equity using the framework outlined previously.
