CareSource Education Hub

There is an urgent need to address health-related inequities in underserved and marginalized communities across the United States by providing education and sharing best practices with fellow clinicians to address bias, health care disparities, cultural humility, and structural racism.

Most clinicians believe that health care disparities are related to the systems of care rather than their own decisions on when and how to provide that care. Understanding and eliminating unconscious bias are paramount to improving patient care and achieving respectful care. CareSource and CME Outfitters are tackling this issue as a guiding force for CareSource health care professionals (HCPs).

This educational hub serves as a foundation for addressing not only the barriers to equitable health care access, medications, and follow-up but also the stigma that creates inequity and impedes care for underserved and marginalized patients.

Maternal Health Care: Real-World Tactics to Address Health Inequities

Findings from an Educational Initiative Addressing Racial Disparities and Bias in Health Care

Clinical Navigators | CME Commentary | Webinar

The CME Outfitters Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) phase 1 initiative focused on six key therapeutic areas: maternal health, cardiovascular care, pain management, oral health, dermatologic health/melanoma, and elective surgery. Each of these areas face significant health inequities, leading to increased morbidity and mortality rates among  underserved populations. This digital monograph illustrates the impact of the educational initiative on HCP knowledge and competence as well as patient outcomes.
