20+ years

4 disease states
Our focus is currently on addressing disparities in life-threatening conditions: atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disease, heart failure, and peripheral artery disease.
A collaboration to close the gap in healthcare disparities
In order to address inequities in healthcare, we believe that we must work together to improve specialty care access for women and people of color with life-threatening conditions.
At Close the Gap, we partner with health systems and providers to address specialty care disparities by providing robust, disease-specific data, and resources you can customize to create measurable improvement in care.
Health equity strategic framework
While inequities exist in the diagnosis and treatment of women and people of color in need of specialty care, it’s not easy for healthcare professionals to know how to be part of the change. Below is our programmatic approach to empower you to advance your health equity efforts:
Engage
Build awareness about health disparities in heart and vascular care to initiate measurable improvement
Discover
Review localized disparity data and benchmarks to uncover opportunities and set goals to increase clinical representation
Collaborate
Develop your health equity action plan to educate physicians and patients with best practices and customizable resources
- Disparity data of disease prevalence and treatment rates by zip code
- Health equity best practices and action planning
- Heart and vascular disease disparity insights
- Disease-specific resources for providers to give patients
Disparity data, epidemiological research, community statistics
Determining the strategy of your program starts with a data-driven understanding of your community’s needs. Our healthcare disparity data allows us to look at the burden of disease at a national and local level. We share with you the prevalence of disease and rate of minimally invasive interventions in your area.
