Exploring health equity integration among health service and delivery systems in Nova Scotia: perspectives of health system partners.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Achieving health equity is important to improve population health; however, health equity is not typically well defined, integrated, or measured within health service and delivery systems. To improve population health, it is necessary to understand barriers and facilitators to health equity integration within health service and delivery systems. This study aimed to explore health equity integration among health systems workers and identify key barriers and facilitators to implementing health equity strategies within the health service and delivery system in Nova Scotia, ahead of the release of a Health Equity Framework, focused on addressing inequities within publicly funded institutions.

Methods

Purposive sampling was used to recruit individuals working on health
