Care Delivery Consortium

The Alliance is convening major healthcare providers and other partners to co-develop an actionable roadmap focused on high-burden conditions and improved care delivery for women.

The challenge

34% of the women’s health gap remains attributable to gaps in care delivery.

50%

more likely to be misdiagnosed after a heart attack than men

42%

of cardiologists feel extremely well-prepared to assess cardiovascular disease risk in women

4.5 yrs

Women are diagnosed with metabolic diseases 4.5 years later than men

2.5 yrs

Women are diagnosed with cancer 2.5 years later than men

The opportunity

Addressing ischemic heart disease in women alone could add an estimated 9.1 million annual disability-adjusted life years and generate approximately $43 billion in annual GDP. Similarly, addressing breast cancer could yield an estimated 1.2 million annual disability-adjusted life years and approximately $8.7 billion in annual GDP.

These findings underscore the imperative for action.

Care Delivery Consortium

A care delivery consortium has been established, bringing together major healthcare providers and other partners to co-develop an actionable roadmap focused on high-burden conditions and improved care delivery for women. Advancing women’s health outcomes will require a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach.

Care Delivery Roadmap

To ensure the roadmap is both actionable and grounded in real-world experience, the consortium will undertake a deep dive into participants’ insights on innovative approaches to closing care delivery gaps. By anchoring this work in practical examples and the lived experiences of consortium members, the initiative aims to collectively develop, validate, and raise awareness of solutions that are both impactful and implementable.
