Join us for a dynamic session exploring essential aspects of healthcare measurement in diverse populations. Explore crucial topics such as cultural competence, language access, equitable assessment, health disparities monitoring, and patient-centered care. Additionally, this session will introduce the newly formed Equity and Inclusivity in Measurement Taskforce. Learn how this task force aims to promote equity and inclusivity in healthcare measurement through collaborative efforts. Be part of the conversation driving positive change in healthcare outcomes for all.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the importance of integrating inclusivity throughout the development, validation, and implementation phases of healthcare measurement scales in promoting health equity.
• Recognize strategies for ensuring that measurement tools are fair, culturally appropriate, and responsive to the diverse needs of individuals
• Discuss the taxonomy of equivalence and bias in cross-cultural adaptation of measures.
