Introducing the Health Equity Impact Navigator (HEIN) 2.0

Translating the financial impact of health equity investments into metrics that resonate with finance leaders can be challenging, especially when returns are realized further downstream. To support health equity leaders, the Health Equity Impact Navigator 2.0 (HEIN) helps forecast the near-term financial impact of proposed health equity interventions.

The HEIN provides two calculator options:

The National Benchmark Calculator, which uses national Medicare benchmarks for a quick estimate.

The Custom Data Calculator, which uses data from your health system for tailored financial projections.

This Excel-based tool empowers health equity leaders to assess the return on investment (ROI) of their interventions, providing a profit & loss statement to support communication of clear financial narratives with finance leaders.
