New Policy Brief: Opportunities to Enhance Health Equity by Integrating Community Health Workers into Payment and Care Delivery Reforms
Posted by Community-Campus Partnerships for Health (CCPH) on June 13, 2023
In a new policy paper, “RADx-UP Policy Brief: Opportunities to Enhance Health Equity by Integrating Community Health Workers into Payment and Care Delivery Reforms,” researchers at Duke-Margolis Center for Health Policy, UNC Center for Health Equity Research, and the Duke Clinical Research Institute, illustrate findings that community health worker (CHW) models can be successfully used to address health inequities in the US. Reviewing evidence from 16 National Institutes of Health (NIH) Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics – Underserved Populations (RADx-UP) COVID-19 projects found that as trusted members of the communities they serve, CHWs demonstrate a critical role in the pursuit of more equitable health care.
The research shares five key policy recommendations to enhance and prioritize CHW models in existing healthcare transformation reforms.
