In this episode we explore the new CMS framework for health equity.  Health equity as a regulatory mandate is a new concept.  We’ve long had some related requirements including a) ADA physical environment rules, b) ant-discrimination and c) language assistance.  But until now, we have not seen a regulatory focus on health equity. Join us for this episode with Cris Lopez, VillageMD Vice President of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, and Gary Jacobs, Executive Director of VillageMD Center for Public Policy, as we dive into what this means and what’s to come from this within healthcare in the future.
 
VillageMD's Working Smarter podcasts are concise healthcare compliance conversations that are never boring and sometimes funny. We provide practical information about complex legal and regulatory topics.
