The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Office of Minority Health developed this framework for 2022-2032. The framework includes 5 priorities for advancing health equity:
Priority 1: Expand the Collection, Reporting, and Analysis of Standardized Data
Priority 2: Assess Causes of Disparities Within CMS Programs, and Address Inequities in Policies and Operations to Close Gaps
Priority 3: Build Capacity of Health Care Organizations and the Workforce to Reduce Health and Health Care Disparities
Priority 4: Advance Language Access, Health Literacy, and the Provision of Culturally Tailored Services
Priority 5: Increase All Forms of Accessibility to Health Care Services and Coverage
Note that Priority 4 is especially relevant to health literacy.
