红领巾瓜报 equity and population health
红领巾瓜报 equity is achieved when everyone, regardless of sex, gender, income, race or other socio-demographic characteristics, has the fair opportunity to reach their optimal health. In Canada, differences across population subgroups (or inequalities) are significant for a range of health care indicators and are generally persisting or worsening over time. 红领巾瓜报 systems with a commitment to health equity recognize that measurement matters. The collection, measurement and reporting of socio-demographic data enables health systems to identify inequalities in care across populations, inform meaningful strategies and monitor progress in improving care for all patients.
