Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Health Equity
  • Public Health Initiatives

Background:

  • Racial and ethnic disparities in healthcare persist despite numerous initiatives.
  • The National Health Plan Collaborative (NHPC) was established in December 2004 as a public-private partnership to address these disparities.
  • NHPC involves nine health plans, research organizations, and foundations, covering approximately 95 million lives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the progress and challenges of health plans in addressing racial/ethnic disparities in healthcare.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a collaborative model for tackling health disparities.

Main Methods:

  • Health plans overcame challenges in obtaining race/ethnicity data for enrollees.
  • Performance measures, specifically for diabetes care, were examined to identify disparities.
  • Plans engaged in data collection, capacity development, outreach activities, and pilot interventions.

Main Results:

  • By February 2006, participating health plans progressed from data collection to outreach and intervention.
  • Five plans implemented pilot interventions to address disparities.
  • Coordination of disparities activities across complex organizational structures presented significant challenges and breakthroughs.

Conclusions:

  • The NHPC serves as a model for shared learning and innovation in addressing health disparities.
  • Health plans are leveraging collective strength to influence policy related to health equity.
  • Continued focus on data and interventions is crucial for reducing racial/ethnic disparities in healthcare.
