Grants to New York organizations to help empower patients and inspire them to take an active and informed role in their healthcare. Applicants are required to submit a letter of inquiry prior to a full proposal. Applications are invited for initiatives that further one of the following strategies: promoting information transparency in price, quality, and patient experience and engaging patients as partners in health care and health policy decision-making. Priority will be given to organizations and projects led by people of color and projects that meaningfully engage consumers and patients from communities of color.
Patients must be more than bystanders in health care. At the clinical level, patients should be empowered to get their personal needs met and have a voice in their own health care decisions. At the policy level, patients and consumers should have a seat at the table to help drive and inform decisions that affect health care policy, quality, access, and costs in New York State.
But in practice, patients are often marginalized rather than placed at the center of the health care system. Numerous barriers minimize the patient’s role, especially for people of color. While all patients should be valued as partners, patients of color can face particular obstacles, including racism, bias, mistrust, and gaps in communication between patients and physicians.
While such patterns have existed for a long time, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted and deepened racial inequities across New York State. Citizens should seize the moment for change. Meaningful and trusted partnerships between health care providers and patients of color are essential for addressing these racial, ethnic, and cultural inequities and disparities in health care. Elevating and amplifying the voices of patients of color will help ensure that patients’ priorities, preferences, and experiences guide efforts to create a more equitable health care system, and ultimately to reduce and eliminate racial health disparities.
NYSHealth encourages proposals that draw from the latest evidence about emerging and best practices related to engaging patients, caregivers, and family members. Projects should address issues such as cultural barriers, trust, health literacy, and/or bias among health care providers and in the health care system.
