As people grapple with social equity, diversity and inclusion dominating news and social, in health care, many care givers wonder whether everyone who enters a given hospital or clinic receives the same quality of care. What is known from historical data is that health-care disparities most affect people who have been historically disadvantaged in other social and economic ways.
In this podcast, neonatologist and author Dr. Chris DeRienzo discusses his work to measure and understand how social disparities determine — or have an impact on — quality outcomes. Dr. DeRienzo is senior vice president and system chief medical officer at WakeMed Health & Hospitals in Raleigh, North Carolina. His book is titled: “Tiny Medicine: One Doctor’s Biggest Lessons from His Smallest Patients.”
