Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Pathways: Resources for Moving Forward in Healthcare

The healthcare industry is undergoing dramatic transformation. Numerous hospitals and health systems are revamping their operational processes and business models to focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) to address population trends that are impacting the size and composition of their workforces, patient demographics, and the nature and delivery of healthcare resources to those patients and in the communities they serve.

Leaders recognize that by working to bolster DEI efforts, healthcare organizations have a unique opportunity to embrace diversity and foster inclusion to help improve communication, increase patient satisfaction, improve the bottom line, create a sense of belonging, and ultimately deliver higher-quality care.
