Health equity has been an important discussion in the last several years in the healthcare community. In this episode, we go deeper into the challenges in health equity with Stefany Goradia. 

We begin by talking about the current state of health inequity in the US healthcare system in both access to care, and clinical outcomes. We talk about how health equity is complementary to social determinants of health.  Stefany provides examples of these that we see everyday in the US healthcare system, from outcomes for maternal health, to economic aspects of the healthcare systems.

We dive into the history and root cause. Are people just starting to realize the health inequity in case? Is it driven by funding? Or are these deep-seated challenges that have existed over the last half-century. Stafany shares her insights. We talk through both the challenges for organizations in both measurement and improving these metrics. 

Finally we de-couple algorithmic bias from health equity, and spend a few minutes on where the two intersect.
