 | Mighty #HeathenSlut Casey🇺🇦🌟 @MightyCasey Hey guys! Casey Q here, loudmouthed troublemaker #epatient In a complete flurry prepping for #HDPalooza next week where I'm part of #BeLikeLight brigade talking patient data privacy in age of surveillance capitalism. Equity/equality is part of that work, too! #patientchat |

| Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer @power4patients Hi Andrea!! #patientchat |
| Alexa Jett 🦋 @ohhiialexa @MightyCasey This is fascinating! I look forward to hearing your perspectives. #patientchat |
| Patient Chat @patientchat Time to start our topics. Here comes T1: #patientchat |
 | Pamela Walters @pammor123 Hi #patientchat! Thank you for hosting this Twitter chat! |
| Patient Chat @patientchat T1: What does health disparity mean to you? #patientchat https://t.co/VjhGXeeTNw |
| Mighty #HeathenSlut Casey🇺🇦🌟 @MightyCasey @DHealthhub @patientchat @power4patients Hey there! Interested in what you're doing, will check out link in bio! #patientchat |
| Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients RT @patientchat: T1: T1: What does health disparity mean to you? #patientchat https://t.co/VjhGXeeTNw |
 | Jeff Dubin @Power2Patient @patientchat Hi I'm Jeff and this is my first #patientchat. I started a blog called Power to the Patient, which discusses unmet needs of patients, that was inspired by my wife's struggles with various autoimmune conditions. |
| Diverse Health Hub @DHealthhub RT @patientchat: T1: T1: What does health disparity mean to you? #patientchat https://t.co/VjhGXeeTNw |
| Mighty #HeathenSlut Casey🇺🇦🌟 @MightyCasey @ohhiialexa If you wanna know about #BeLikeLight, follow @BeLikeLight, and check out site link: https://t.co/3jhkeox5Bo #patientchat |
| Alexa Jett 🦋 @ohhiialexa A1: That the needs of population groups, especially significantly sized ones, are being actively ignored or forgotten about. Usually lack of clinical trials are involved which means a higher mortality rate. We deserve better! #patientchat |
| Mighty #HeathenSlut Casey🇺🇦🌟 @MightyCasey @DubinMktgStrat @patientchat Autoimmune is the devil - so many intersecting issues, too little clinical understanding of many of 'em. #patientchat |
| Diverse Health Hub @DHealthhub T1: Preventable differences in the burden of disease injury or violence to patients #patientchat |
| Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients @DubinMktgStrat Hi Jeff! Welcome to the chat. Looking forward to checking out your blog. Take a look at ours as well https://t.co/SJawpfQlXF #patientchat |
| Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 A1 heal disparity means to me that quality of life is linked to social determinants and income instead of a simple love of all humans. #patientchat |
| Jeff Dubin @Power2Patient @patientchat One thing I think of is how much quicker doctors dismiss women's symptoms as psychological vs. men's. #patientchat |
| Alexa Jett 🦋 @ohhiialexa RT @DubinMktgStrat: @patientchat One thing I think of is how much quicker doctors dismiss women's symptoms as psychological vs. men's. #patientchat |
| Diverse Health Hub @DHealthhub T1: Health disparities are gaps in health outcomes or health access among different populations #patientchat |
| Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer @patientchat A health disparity means unequal access to care because of something either out of or within a person’s control, such as race, ethnicity, social economic status, geographic region, education level, etc. #patientchat |
 | Melissa VanHouten @melissarvh Inequalities among different groups in healthcare (systemic, access, outcomes, etc.). #PatientChat |
| Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients RT @DHealthhub: T1: T1: Health disparities are gaps in health outcomes or health access among different populations #patientchat |
| Pamela Walters @pammor123 #patientchat A health disparity to me means some people are not getting the care they need and deserve, due to circumstances beyond their control. |
| Mighty #HeathenSlut Casey🇺🇦🌟 @MightyCasey @ohhiialexa And if you want a Mighty Mouth POV (not speaking for Light Collective, this all me) on data privacy in age of surveillance economy, here it is: https://t.co/7EFTBC4pQ1 #patientchat |

 | Barbara Dunn @BarbaraADunn @DHealthhub T1. Health Disparity is being treated differently. When I had a back problem 30lbs heavier, there was only a discussion of losing weight. When I lost the 30 lbs, the discussion was that I had a slipped disk. Guess how long my slipped disk went untreated? You got it. #patientchat |
| Diverse Health Hub @DHealthhub RT @carlyflumer: @patientchat A health disparity means unequal access to care because of something either out of or within a person’s control, such as race, ethnicity, social economic status, geographic region, education level, etc. #patientchat |
| Jeff Dubin @Power2Patient @MightyCasey @patientchat I agree. Some very smart doctors get stumped by autoimmune conditions. #patientchat |
 | Emily McIntosh @mcintose @patientchat T1. Different treatments and outcomes for patients for reasons outside their control. #patientchat |
| Your GPS Doc, LLC @yourgpsdoc T1: Health disparities are differences in disease burden or outcomes between individuals of different gender, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, education, sexual orientation, geographic location, etc. #patientchat |
 | Mary MACK @MaryOCMack disparities in health and healthcare, to me, means that human beings face barriers to health and care based mostly on financial resources #patientchat |
| Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients RT @yourgpsdoc: T1: T1: Health disparities are differences in disease burden or outcomes between individuals of different gender, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, education, sexual orientation, geographic location, etc. #patientchat |
| Mighty #HeathenSlut Casey🇺🇦🌟 @MightyCasey A1: Disparity is anything that prevents you, as a member of an identifiable group (race, economic, gender, all of the above, player to be named later) from getting the evidence-base healthcare you need, for anything. #patientchat |

| Patient Chat @patientchat Topic 2 (T2:) coming up... #patientchat https://t.co/4BvxdIp3cS |
| Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 A1 health disparity is how many politicians/leaders justify paternalistic medicine. They believe the only solution is a top down approach to reform, not a everyone included approach #patientchat |
| Mighty #HeathenSlut Casey🇺🇦🌟 @MightyCasey RT @yourgpsdoc: T1: T1: Health disparities are differences in disease burden or outcomes between individuals of different gender, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, education, sexual orientation, geographic location, etc. #patientchat |
| Your GPS Doc, LLC @yourgpsdoc T1: Example is the abysmal rate of maternal mortality among women of color. #patientchat |
| Diverse Health Hub @DHealthhub RT @patientchat: Topic 2 (T2:) coming up... #patientchat https://t.co/4BvxdIp3cS |
 | Vera Rulon FAHIMA @vrulon Hello #patientchat! Better late than never. Vera here from NY! |
| Patient Chat @patientchat T2: What are some examples of health disparities? How do they play a role in healthcare? #patientchat https://t.co/4hc8HX1Geu |

| Alexa Jett 🦋 @ohhiialexa A2: In the #AYACancer community, this would mean lack of access to care that addresses our specific issues. Like fertility, psycho-social, education, and long term side effects. This should be standard. #patientchat |

| Pamela Walters @pammor123 @patientchat T2: Living in a rural area, lack of transportation and provider options. #patientchat |
| Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer @ohhiialexa LOVE this!! #patientchat |
| Your GPS Doc, LLC @yourgpsdoc T2: Increased maternal mortality among women of color, decreased use of pain medication in children of color, tendency to blame symptoms on mental illness in women... I could go on and on... They lead to unnecessarily poor outcomes. #patientchat |
| Alexa Jett 🦋 @ohhiialexa RT @pammor123: @patientchat T2: @patientchat T2: Living in a rural area, lack of transportation and provider options. #patientchat |
| Diverse Health Hub @DHealthhub @patientchat T2: Disparities in healthcare are often viewed through the lens of race and ethnicity, but there are many facets #patientchat Examples: socioeconomic statues, age, help graphs, language, gender, disability status, citizenship status, sexual identity and orientation |
| Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer @patientchat Health literacy, I think, could be argued as a disparity. However, I also think it’s up to the health care community to communicate in #plainlanguage no matter how health literate the patient is! Communication matters in healthcare. PERIOD. #patientchat |
| Mary MACK @MaryOCMack T2: There are so many examples. One example is that those in need of an organ transplant will be denied listing, if the financial criteria is not met. Everyone, however, is encouraged to be a donor #patientchat |
| Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients @patientchat Here's an example from our blog: "Is Treatment Adherence & Socioeconomic Disparities in #Myeloma Creating Roadblocks to Best Care?" https://t.co/j24oPtxWzo @DHealthhub #patientchat |

| Vera Rulon FAHIMA @vrulon T1: Health disparity - an unequal level of healthcare based on one's socioeconomic status or race/ethnicity, or other. Includes the impact of social determinants that contribute. #patientchat |

| Emily McIntosh @mcintose @patientchat T2 Social class. Poorer individuals are more likely to require medical interventions due to factors relating to housing and lifestyle, yet they're less able to access care, afford necessary medicine or treatments, & more likely to get 'lost in the system' & forgotten #patientchat |

| Your GPS Doc, LLC @yourgpsdoc @carlyflumer @patientchat AGREE! #patientchat |
| Melissa VanHouten @melissarvh The term does not necessarily include the reasons for the disparity so it can mean any area where there is disparity: A greater % of women have osteoporosis than men; black women are more likely to die from breast cancer than white women. #PatientChat |
| Mary MACK @MaryOCMack 1 in 4 deceased organ donors never could have received if tables had been turned. #patientchat |

| Jeff Dubin @Power2Patient @power4patients Thanks Alexa. I will check out your blog. Mine is at https://t.co/OLc6kinlbM. #patientchat |
| Mighty #HeathenSlut Casey🇺🇦🌟 @MightyCasey A2: I feel like whole US healthcare system is one big disparity. YMMV on crank. Since even well-insured people can wind up down a rabbit hole with poor care coordination, episodic nature of our system. All about billing, not so much about actual care. #patientchat |
| Vera Rulon FAHIMA @vrulon T2: Clinical trials - we also need to consider physiological differences, make sure participants reflect diversity. Example: pain meds used for the elderly, genetic variations in the treatment of asthma, blood thinner meds & enzyme metabolization in African Americans #patientchat |

| Alexa Jett 🦋 @ohhiialexa A3: A way I look at this is access to resources in your region. My area has too few mental health resources for the population, and that actually impacts our mortality rate. Mental health IS health! #patientchat |
| Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 A2 thanks to President Orangeman I think politics is turning into a health disparity. Only those within a political party deserve care is his standard. #patientchat |
| Jeff Dubin @Power2Patient @vrulon @ohhiialexa And I'm not sure how much these physiological differences are being taught in medical school. I also think some we're still learning about. #patientchat |
| Your GPS Doc, LLC @yourgpsdoc T3: Health equality is everyone receiving the same care. Health equity is each person receiving the care and resources that they need. #patientchat |
 | A.n.n. @fireflyann RT @patientchat: Join us for an Empowered #patientchat "Disparities in Care: Join us for an Empowered #patientchat "Disparities in Care: Equality vs Equity" w/ @DHealthHub on Friday 2/7 10amPT | 1pmET https://t.co/wGdnriiPs2 https://t.co/k4osbqlpRG |
| Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer @patientchat Equity is what patients need to be healthy. Equality is everyone actually getting those needs met at an equal level. #patientchat |
| Diverse Health Hub @DHealthhub T3: Health equity is a process and health equality is an outcome of that process Health Equality= sameness Health Ineqaulity= unfair Health Equity= fairness Health Inequity= unfair or unjust #patientchat |
| Melissa VanHouten @melissarvh Inequality is just a gap, an uneven distribution of something, whereas inequity implies an unfairness or injustice of some sort. We could redirect efforts/resources to achieve equity, perhaps. #PatientChat |
| Mighty #HeathenSlut Casey🇺🇦🌟 @MightyCasey A3: Same equality/equity metric as overall societal one. "Everyone can get care" is POV of system side, but where rubber meets road? Not so much. "Go to the ED" is not effective primary care. Image: @IISCBlog #patientchat https://t.co/Tcl0GUaCgV |
| Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 A3 the value our culture puts on quality of life vs a market based health economy #patientchat |

| Diverse Health Hub @DHealthhub T3: Understanding the difference between health equality and health equity is important to ensure resources are directed appropriately #patientchat |
| Emily McIntosh @mcintose @patientchat T3. I only recently learned there was a difference 😐. But equality would be treating everyone the same way, while equity is treating people based on their needs. Patient-centred care would revolve around health equity. #patientchat |
| Vera Rulon FAHIMA @vrulon T3: Nice visual expressing the difference between equity vs equality. Equality doesn't necessarily mean equity. #patientchat https://t.co/i0tdpZdSjd https://t.co/azlTgjP4TE |
| Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients @patientchat A3: As they say, a picture says 1000 words & the pic used in #patientchat promo sums this ? up really well. Equality means everyone receives the same care, equity is helping people get whatever they need to achieve their best health https://t.co/C5wUs75vU7 |

| A.n.n. @fireflyann And even for people who are educated, speaking at a freshman in high school level can make absorbing information easier - especially in high stress moments. or "talk so a teenager could understand" |

| Patient Chat @patientchat Topic 4 (T4:) coming up... #patientchat |
| Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer @pammor123 @patientchat I learned it in school, but I had to look it up myself! Shows how important it is. :) #patientchat |
| Patient Chat @patientchat T4: What can be done to achieve health equity? What challenges need to be addressed? #patientchat https://t.co/Kd2ZPTuOOy |
| Alexa Jett 🦋 @ohhiialexa A4: We need EVEN MORE room for patient feedback and advocates. While I while I think this has improved, there is a LONG way to go. AYA’s are still not recognized as an actual group by some areas of medicine. #patientchat |

| Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 A3 I think new payment models are moving away from equity and going into an actuarially complicated equality based method. Being sick doesn’t matter as long as services are provide equally. #patientchat |
| Mighty #HeathenSlut Casey🇺🇦🌟 @MightyCasey @T2DRemission @ZDoggMD He's right - they're a ledger system, not a clinical management system. #patientchat |
| Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer @patientchat I would say ask patients what they need and don’t assume. Communication is already lacking, so find ways to bring the patient into the conversation. Patient-centered healthcare is where it’s at!! #patientchat |
| Your GPS Doc, LLC @yourgpsdoc T4: First we have to acknowledge the problem, then institute far-reaching policies to address it. We won’t make progress without helping front-line HCPs see their own implicit biases (and own up to their explicit ones). #patientchat |
| Melissa VanHouten @melissarvh So many challenges - socioeconomic, racial and ethnic, cultural, geographical, & others. Need to address individual circumstances, search for reasons behind the inequities (finances, prejudices, education, etc.), & develop genuine solutions for the root cause. #PatientChat |
| Pamela Walters @pammor123 T4: Provider education, continued discussion/awareness around this issue so people understand that lives are at stake. #patientchat |
| Diverse Health Hub @DHealthhub T4: Community-based participatory research to support cross-cultural partnerships We have the big challenge of overcoming biases ahead of us #patientchat |

No trap doors, no surprise billing, no co-pays, no f'ing deductibles. If you wanna be special, buy extra-coverage insurance. But NOT required #patientchat |
| Your GPS Doc, LLC @yourgpsdoc RT @carlyflumer: @patientchat I would say ask patients what they need and don’t assume. Communication is already lacking, so find ways to bring the patient into the conversation. Patient-centered healthcare is where it’s at!! #patientchat |

| Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 A4 vote, vote, and vote again. This is especially true for local elections. Equity is an easier sell on a local level than national. Unfortunately national elections are more dynamic which draws interest. #patientchat |

 | Beth Morton @beth_morton Adding to all the other great answers, disparity can come from the stigma of disease. And stigma obviously comes from the context of the stereotypes of who gets a disease and the worth those people have in funding/research/treatment. #PatientChat |

| Beth Morton @beth_morton I'll make a pitch for recognizing #stigma again. In the #migraine community, we talk about it a lot because it effects the way the disease is perceive & therefore, funding for innovation and HCPs who want to go into #headache medicine. #PatientChat |

| Lillian Lake - Host of #SoulNestingChat @llake @patientchat A4 Ask the people who need the services what they need - separate responses from those who are on the outside of a disease. And that includes healthcare providers - they have related info, but unless they live a challenge, it isn't their challenge. #PatientChat |

| Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer @patientchat I blog for a few orgs who are looking to bring awareness to #thyroidcancer! Awareness is the first step in bringing about equality! #patientchat |
| Mighty #HeathenSlut Casey🇺🇦🌟 @MightyCasey A5: OK, stand back again, this time it's a thread! First, here's PubMed re cancer disparity reduction in SC (2013) https://t.co/gpHtZDjnKz #patientchat |

| Mighty #HeathenSlut Casey🇺🇦🌟 @MightyCasey A5: Next, here's @Health_Affairs on evaluating disparity reduction strategies involving social determinants (2015) https://t.co/3aPTfc1gzB #patientchat #SDOH |
| Emily McIntosh @mcintose @patientchat T5. The Trillium Drug Program helps cover high prescription drug costs for individuals with low income. This is limited to residents of Ontario, Canada, though. Unsure if other provinces or states have similar programs. #patientchat |
| Vera Rulon FAHIMA @vrulon T5: Raising awareness is key. The chief medical officer at Pfizer tells the story of speaking at a church in the AA community about diabetes. One person came to her later and said "you were right, I do have a touch of sugar" Reaching one person at a time. #patientchat |

| Jeff Dubin @Power2Patient @vrulon @power4patients Dr. Jerome Groopman in his book How Doctor's Think (https://t.co/JMxrE4GjMO) writes that med students need to be taught how their biases creep into their decision making. #patientchat |
| Lillian Lake - Host of #SoulNestingChat @llake RT @DHealthhub: T3: T3: Health equity is a process and health equality is an outcome of that process Health Equality= sameness Health Ineqaulity= unfair Health Equity= fairness Health Inequity= unfair or unjust #patientchat |
| Vera Rulon FAHIMA @vrulon T5: Are there initiatives that show some data on improvement in equity? Am curious and would think this would be quite important. #patientchat |
| Melissa VanHouten @melissarvh T5 Successful initiatives? Well, that sounds large-scale, but smaller efforts can help, too. Grps like Angel Flight that provide transportation 2 those in remote area or financial need, training programs 4 docs, & building a clinic in a small community, can all help. #PatientChat |
| Lillian Lake - Host of #SoulNestingChat @llake RT @carlyflumer: @patientchat Health literacy, I think, could be argued as a disparity. However, I also think it’s up to the health care community to communicate in #plainlanguage no matter how health literate the patient is! Communication matters in healthcare. PERIOD. #patientchat |

| Diverse Health Hub @DHealthhub It was superb to be a part of this #patientchat today. @DHealthhub continues to spotlight disparities for a variety of diseases impacting vulnerable populations. We believe access to diverse perspective/ideas like those shared today cultivated culturally competent communities. |
| Jeff Dubin @Power2Patient @llake @vrulon @power4patients Yes, in all fairness given the limited time doctors have with each patient they need to take shortcuts (i.e. heuristics) to figure out what's going on with patients and biases can be useful. I think too often these biases lead to the wrong answers though. #patientchat |
