Dissemination and implementation (D&I) science offers guiding principles and actionable recommendations to advance healthcare equity. Key areas include intervention adaptation, de-implementation of low-value care, and policy research for equitable health outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Dissemination and Implementation (D&I) Science
- Healthcare Equity Research
Background:
- The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) sponsored a Health Equity Summit in 2022.
- The summit aimed to identify how D&I science can advance healthcare equity.
Approach:
- Narrative review of D&I science and healthcare equity literature.
- Synthesis of published studies and expert insights.
- Iterative discussions and feedback from Summit attendees.
Key Points:
- Four guiding principles and three D&I science domains identified for advancing healthcare equity.
- Eight recommendations and over 60 opportunities for action proposed.
- Focus on equitable intervention development, adaptation, and de-implementation.
Conclusions:
- D&I science provides a framework for addressing healthcare disparities.
- Specific applications include monitoring equity markers and organizational policy development.
- Capacity building and policy research are crucial for accelerating progress.
