Racism is a systemic healthcare problem that is preventable and changeable. Harm is still coming to patients and employees due to racism, including significant disparities in health outcomes. Current diversity and inclusion efforts, though well-intended, are not driving sufficient change. Because racism is a systemic problem, achieving transformative change requires an organizational and system-level approach.
