Who Should Use the Toolkit
Quality Improvement
The ultimate goal for collecting information about patient's race, ethnicity, and primary language is to improve the quality of care for all patients. Evidence indicates that quality improvement efforts, when linked to data on race and ethnicity, can improve quality of care and reduce health care disparities. These data can be linked to assess technical quality (clinical measures) and service quality (wait times) within your health care organization The section links at left provide background information and tools (questionnaires) to help hospitals assess their current practices collecting race, ethnicity, and language data as well as surveys to determine whether complete and accurate information is being collected from patients once a systematic framework is implemented.
