Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Series: Why We Ask - Collecting Race, Ethnicity, and Primary Language

Data collection has long been central to the quality assurance process. Disparities in health care can be addressed through a quality-of-care framework if data on race, ethnicity, and primary language are available. The data may also help evaluate population trends and help ensure nondiscrimination based on race and national origin, such as providing meaningful access for persons with limited English proficiency. In this course we will explore the current research that describes the importance of accurate data collection which organizations can use to ensure they have sufficient language assistance services, develop appropriate patient education materials, and track quality indicators and health outcomes for specific groups to inform improvements in quality of care.

Upon completion of this session, you should be able to:

  • Define health equity.
  • Recall the implications of health disparity.
  • Identify demographic data important to addressing health disparity.
