How can value-based health care methods help the LGBTQ+ community in the neurology space?
This is such an important question, and I think the idea of value-based care has a lot of momentum behind it. The challenge is that value-based care requires data. It requires measurement of outcomes; reporting back continual iteration of the process to improve the quality of care. The challenge is with that measurement piece, and so not very many folks collect sexual orientation or gender identity in their data routinely. So, we don't have that first part; we don't have the data to go into the process, to talk about outcomes, to talk about how we can do better for service for the community and access and outcomes within care. So, I think that really working on that first step is going to hopefully drive us towards be able to actually provide value-based care for LGBTQ individuals.
