LDI Senior Fellow and Perelman School of Medicine Associate Professor Jaya Aysola, MD, DTMH, MPH, was a member of a four-person team that won the Nursing Outlook Article of the Year Award in the policy category for a paper focused on the slow pace of health equity advances in health systems.
The award was presented at the American Academy of Nursing conference in early November.
The other three members of the winning team were Regina Cunningham, PhD, RN; Rosemary Polomano, PhD, RN, both of the Penn School of Nursing; and Robin Wood, PhD, RN, of Penn Medicine.
Entitled “Health Systems and Health Equity: Advancing the Agenda,” the work proposes a health equity framework of actions aimed at reducing the “deep inequities in health [that] persist with historically marginalized groups.”
Equity and Strategic Priorities
It concludes: “Health system nurse leaders can positively influence health equity by making equity part of their overall strategic priorities and goals, building knowledge, redesigning care, transforming cultures, and ensuring access to necessary resources (e.g., health equity experts, technology, data, and services). Health equity frameworks are instrumental in approaching this work and driving solutions and actions to achieve desired outcomes.”
Aysola is the Assistant Dean of Inclusion and Diversity at the Perelman School of Medicine and Executive Director of Penn Medicine’s Center for Health Equity Advancement (CHEA).
Her research has focused on how health systems can operationalize equity and inclusion, dismantling structural bias and racism in medicine.
