On Tuesday, August 27, 2024, from 12:00-1:30 p.m. (ET), Dr. Vincent Guilamo-Ramos, Executive Director of the Institute for Policy Solutions and Distinguished Professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, will join NINR to discuss the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s Ending Unequal Treatment report.
Ending Unequal Treatment: Strategies to Achieve Equitable Health Care and Optimal Health for All, offers a comprehensive, deeply researched, evidence-based review of health and health care inequities within the US health care system. The report explores the barriers that continue to weaken and undermine efforts to achieve more equitable health care, and it presents recommendations for future actions that, taken together, would achieve a more effective and sustained approach to measuring and addressing the problem, with implications for nursing science.
This NINR Director’s Lecture will provide an overview of the Ending Unequal Treatment report and highlight what the findings mean for the nursing workforce’s scientific agenda, for the elimination of health and health care inequities, and in advancing population health.
