Equity of Care Toolkit Guides Boards and Leaders in Eliminating Disparities
The American Hospital Association released a free toolkit designed to accelerate the elimination of health disparities and increase leadership diversity. Equity of Care is a national collaborative effort of the AHA and other health care associations focused on eradicating disparities by meeting three goals: increase the collection and use of race, ethnicity and language preference data; increase cultural competency training; and increase diversity in governance and leadership. Equity of Care: A Toolkit for Eliminating Health Care Disparities provides a framework for achieving these goals and resources to guide the work, including case studies, dashboard templates and self-assessments.
