Wolters Kluwer, Health has announced that its medical research platform, Ovid®, has launched a collection of research articles, books, and media called the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) collection. The collection aims to help users address equitable healthcare delivery, and how to reduce healthcare disparities, improve culturally sensitive care, and drive more diverse staffing.
In recent years, DE&I has become a priority for institutions and providers in the healthcare field, with a strong emphasis on health equity in response to unequal representation among health professionals, the disparities in COVID-19 outcomes among different populations, and a broader lack of trust in the healthcare system.
The Ovid DE&I Collection helps researchers, educators, clinical managers, and students easily find actionable content resources that support an institution's efforts to improve health outcomes, fill gaps in health equity training, and educate the next generation of clinicians. Specifically, the collection will help instructors train students and clinicians to be more empathetic and socially conscious and to more easily teach equitable health practices.
The content collection includes: 24 online books from a wide variety of leading publishers such as Lippincott® and Oxford University Press; archives of six core Lippincott journals in healthcare management, quality, and safety; and content covering the issues of LGBTQ health, gender, sexism, race, ethnicity, disabilities, and other important social and cultural issues.
