New Hospital Equity Toolkit Available to Hospitals and Other Providers

California’s Department of Healthcare Access and Information published a new online set of resources that provides a framework for furthering efforts that strengthen demographic healthcare quality data collection, analysis, reporting, and equity planning. The toolkit is the progeny of California’s Hospital Equity Measures Reporting Program, which seeks to improve healthcare quality data and address historical health disparities by requiring the development of hospital equity plans and bolstering more accurate reporting of racial and demographic data.
