Health Equity
Closing Disparities in Health
Many people face unacceptable barriers to care because of their race, ethnicity, immigration status or geographic location. Docent Health works with your organization to eliminate these disparities and create a more equitable healthcare system for all.

Disparities in Maternal & Child Health
African-American mothers experience the highest rates of maternal morbidity and mortality of any racial/ethnic group. Despite significant improvements in maternal mortality and infant health in America, Black mothers are still three to four times more likely to die during their pregnancy and twice as likely to suffer maternity-related complications than those in all other racial/ethnic groups.
Culturally Competent & Local
Docent Health navigators are locally hired and reflect the demographics of the communities they serve. Teams undergo implicit bias training and work to advocate for and guide their communities to better health.
Tech-Enabled
Tracking and understanding the non-clinical side of the patient experience is critical. As a solution, our Health Equity Programs leverage the Docent Health consumer engagement platform and applications to personalize and scale services for your organization.
Ecosystem Integration & Collaboration
Each patient and community is as unique as the services established to support them. Docent Health works to ensure seamless integration of our technology and teams with your internal teams, as well as community resources, so patients get connected to the right resources, at the right time.
Holistic & Extended Engagement
Docent Health eliminates silos by partnering with local healthcare providers, proactively engaging with patients and building local community partnerships. We create a community fabric that weaves social services and alternative care models with hospitals and clinics to support the unique needs of people where disparities exist.
Data & Measurement
Docent’s Health Equity Programs capture patient-reported data across a wide spectrum of measures. Integrations with provider partners and aggregation of public health data allows for a robust view of the patient and community. Committed to ongoing learning, we utilize the Docent Insights and reporting application to visualize trends and provide a client-facing dashboard.
