About
The Minnesota Hospital Association (MHA) is hosting a diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) learning series to share MHA tools and resources, utilize data for impact and share best practices for implementing sustainable DEI work in your facility.
Ken Holmen, president and CEO, CentraCare, will kick off the series by speaking about the importance of DEI work. Part one will provide an overview of the health equity organizational assessment (HEOA), which was originally developed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Partnership for Patients Hospital Improvement Innovation Network Health Equity Affinity Group to better understand hospitals’ and health systems’:
- Preparedness to address health disparities through the consistent collection of accurate demographic data
- Use of demographic data to identify and resolve disparities
- Implementation of organizational and cultural structures needed to sustain the delivery of equitable care
This assessment, located in the MHA Data Portal, is appropriate for hospitals and health systems at any point in their DEI quality improvement journey.
This webinar will also share how race, ethnicity and language data is collected from hospital claims at MHA and how this data can be used in a real-world setting to identify gaps and determine where additional areas of focus may be needed.
