Abstract
This literature review examines the impact of equity-centered approaches on issues affecting U.S. healthcare delivery—multiple databases to identify relevant literature that discussed equity-centered care, associated health disparities, and implementation strategies. Of the 490 search results, ten articles remained after refining the search results to include papers published between 2014-2024 and fit the specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. The key findings highlight the benefits of equity-centered approaches in improving the quality and accessibility issues affecting the U.S. healthcare system. Presently, the status of equity work is siloed between healthcare systems in the U.S., creating an unprecedented roadblock. Nonetheless, the findings suggest adopting equity-centered approaches in U.S. healthcare settings to improve patient outcomes. The recommendation is for a community-level implementation of a multi-pronged health equity initiative.
