The Forgotten Aim: Health Equity

In celebration of Martin Luther King Day, we’re highlighting IHI’s collection of resources on health equity — what some have called the “forgotten aim” of improvement. In particular, we call your attention to a popular video series on the imperative for health care to reduce disparities and inequities, featuring a conversation between David R. Williams, Professor of Public Health at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and Dr. Don Berwick, IHI President Emeritus and Senior Fellow. We also want to remind you of the IHI White Paper, Achieving Health Equity: A Guide for Health Care Organizations.
