Chief, Health Equity, Diversity and Inclusion at UCLA Health | Academic Emergency Physician | Healthcare Innovator
#ProudMoment 💙 💛 Last week, after a rigorous two-day survey at each of our inpatient hospitals, UCLA Health became the first health system in California, the first in the western United States, and one of the first in the country to earn the distinguished Health Care Equity Advanced Certification from the Joint Commission. The certification exemplifies UCLA Health’s commitment to providing high quality, equitable care to each person that we have the privilege to serve. I cannot express my deep and sincere gratitude for the staff, physicians, and leaders that work tirelessly each day to ensure our patients have equitable and just experiences and clinical outcomes. Even when/if we fall short, courageous conversations are held and action is put in place to do better. A quick CTA for all health systems and providers committed to clinical excellence: the provision of high-quality care can ONLY be achieved if it is equitable. Set health care equity standards now. #healthcareequity #healthjustice #healthcareleadership #jointcommission https://lnkd.in/gsA5mxhB

1moExceptional performance. So proud of the 30-day unplanned readmissions work presented by Patricia Alberto during the survey. Further, the fierce dedication to address health care inequities by our Chief of Health Equity, Diversity and Inclusion and all members of the UCLA Health teams is real and is making a difference to our most vulnerable populations we serve.
