Celebrate Data ! The Tri-Hospital Health Equity Data Collection Project • This project aims to develop a model for hospitals to gather patient demographic data to improve quality of care and patient outcomes
Data is good for your health! Why we want to collect Socio-demographic data • To identify health disparities by linking patient health data to patient socio-demographic data • To determine: • who we are serving • whether health needs are being met equitably • if there are differential outcomes • To improve the quality of care in our hospitals and ensure excellent care for all
Data Now! More than Ever! What we hope to learn • Which socio-demographic data to collect • What questions to ask and how to ask them • The most effective ways to gather sensitive personal information • IT solutions that will integrate the collection of socio-demographic patient data into hospitals systems
Objectives Our Data is our Strength! • To determine the key demographic characteristics of the patients we are serving • To have better data to measure patient health outcomes and health inequities • To develop and pilot an effective data collection methodology • To evaluate health equity outcomes based on clinical indicators • To ensure knowledge exchange of successful methodologies to other institutions
What we’ve accomplished We are all Demographic Data! • Literature review • Environmental scan • Demographic data collection tool • 4 pilot sites preparing to pilot the tool and link to health outcomes
Nothing about us without Data! What’s next Data Not Circuses • Create educational materials and training for patients and staff • Complete the pilot projects • Link our data to health outcomes at each site • Analyze our data • Evaluate our project • Share our findings and materials
Yes Data Can! • Why do you want to collect patient demographic data? • What is our biggest challenge?
