The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation –

“……….The
Roadmap to Reduce Disparities is a guide for healthcare organizations to
improve minority health and foster equity. It draws upon lessons learned
from the results of Finding Answers’ 33 grantee projects, as well as the
unique implementation challenges experienced at each site, and the results of
11 systematic reviews of the disparities-reduction literature.
The
Roadmap’s six-step framework provides guidance for incorporating
disparities-reduction efforts into the quality improvement efforts of health
care organizations. It is designed so that various components of an
equity-focused quality improvement agenda can be developed and implemented
separately, simultaneously, or maintained throughout.
By following the Roadmap, healthcare professionals are guided through a standardized process to address equity, even though the causes of disparities may vary across regions or patient populations. The Roadmap’s recommended processes allow organizations to ensure a comprehensive systematic process that is tailored to the unique challenges of an organization’s patient population….”
The six-step framework:
1. Link Quality & Equity
2. Create a Culture of Equity
3. Diagnose the Disparity
4. Design the Activity
5. Secure Buy-in - concrete support of all stakeholders
6. Implement Change: Start small - Measure change - Be adaptable

The RWJF national program Finding
Answers developed a six-step framework
to help people and organizations reduce disparities.
Now available in a simple graphic that’s easy to distribute—or tack
up above your desk—the Roadmap can help you fit reducing disparities into
all health care quality improvement efforts.
