Why coordinated action is needed to advance health equity

The AMA has been working to eliminate health inequities and to make optimal health for all a reality. So has the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI). And so have many other leading racial justice and health care organizations.
But these efforts have gone forward in a siloed manner, and this lack of coordination is limiting opportunities to learn from others’ experiences, to develop consensus and to achieve far-reaching impact, according to Camille Burnett, PhD, MPA, RN, DSW, the IHI’s vice president for health equity.
Through the Rise to Health Coalition, the AMA, IHI, leading racial justice organizations including Race Forward, Health Begins, PolicyLink, the Groundwater Institute and numerous other partners are planning to take coordinated actions that will have a strong national impact on breaking down barriers to achieving health equity.
