Policy & Procedure
MGH Policy: “In order to assess and address racial and ethnic disparities on an ongoing basis, all relevant performance improvement data should be collected and stratified by race and ethnicity.”
“Each department’s strategy for meeting this requirement is now discussed at annual meetings between senior hospital leadership and department chairs.”

Disparities in Quality
For Blacks, Asians, American Indians/Alaska Natives, Hispanics, and poor people, disparities stayed the same or increased in at least 60% of quality measures
For Blacks and Asians, disparities decreased in fewer than 20% of quality measures
For AI/ANs, Hispanics, and poor populations, disparities decreased in approximately one-third of quality measures

Beliefs: Healthcare Equality “Just as many people assumed that
they “knew” a hospital provided good quality care before quality measurement became common, many now assume that their hospital provides equal quality of care to all of its patients, regardless of their race, ethnicity, language, or socioeconomic status.”
