PA leaders must be intentional in embedding health equity within their organizations. They can demonstrate how it can positively impact the organization’s bottom line. PAs should use their access to the C-suite to make a business case for stakeholders to understand the importance of embedding equity throughout the organization. Relegating health equity and antiracism work to the human resources department is insufficient. A study released by Accenture on March 15, 2022, showed that 93% of healthcare executives believe health equity is important and 86% believe it is a core part of their business strategy. However, only 36% have dedicated budgets for health equity work. Our job as leaders within the profession is to push our organizations to increase equity by establishing a system of accountability with measurable outcomes of health equity. This activity explores the steps PA leaders should take to make this dream a reality.

While healthcare is increasingly becoming a team sport, the reimbursement models and productivity attribution logic don't always recognize the collaborative approach of our provider care teams.

As important members of primary care and cardiology practices, PAs have a critical role in the management of patients with dyslipidemia. To optimize patient care, PAs must be up-to-date on the characteristics of treatment options available for LDL-C lowering and the potential role of various lipid-lowering agents being used in combination. To optimize therapy, providers should also be aware of guideline recommendations for dyslipidemia management, the importance of medication adherence, and how to identify strategies to increase patient adherence and positive outcomes. This program aims to increase knowledge and competence in these areas to assist PAs in enhancing overall patient care for patients with dyslipidemia.
