The National Minority Quality Forum (NMQF) has established the Institute for Equity in Health Policy and Practice in response to the forward-looking consensus that equity must become integral to the American health services research, delivery and financing system. The Institute facilitates information exchange, educational efforts and consensus building regarding policy options that are supportive of a 21st century re-envisioning of a health system that centers equity, reduces patient risk and sustains the health and well-being of families and communities. Institute activities can include Thought Leaders in Equity Roundtables, issue-specific educational efforts, monthly briefings and policy webinars.
