Addressing Health Disparities Sample Clauses

Addressing Health Disparities. The Contractor shall participate in, and support OHCA’s efforts to reduce health disparities. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Minority Health, and for the purposes of this Contract, a health disparity is “a particular type of health difference closely linked with social or economic disadvantage.” Health disparities adversely affect groups of people who have systematically experienced greater social and/or economic obstacles to health based on characteristics historically linked to discrimination or exclusion (e.g., race or ethnic group; religion; socioeconomic status; gender; age; mental health; cognitive, sensory, or physical disability; sexual orientation; or geographic location). To further advance OHCA’s efforts to achieve health equity, the Contractor shall collect and meaningfully use Dental Health Plan Enrollee-identified race, ethnicity, language, and Social Determinants of Health data to identify and reduce disparities in health care access, services, and outcomes. This includes, where possible, stratifying HEDIS and CAHPs, and Health Risk Assessment results by race, ethnicity, or other relevant demographics, and implementing a strategy to reduce identified disparities. The Contractor shall maintain health equity representatives who are actively involved in improvement initiatives to reduce disparities by: obtaining input from Dental Health Plan Enrollees and from Providers of direct services which are intended to reduce adverse health outcomes among Dental Health Plan Enrollees, determining the root cause of inequities, developing targeted interventions and measures, and collecting and analyzing data to track progress in disparity reduction efforts.
