This guide from the Health Research & Educational Trust outlines a framework for hospitals and health systems to stratify patient race, ethnicity, and language data to identify and eliminate health care disparities. The framework includes the following five steps:
- Assemble a working group that is focused on health care disparities data
- Validate the race, ethnicity, and language data
- Identify the highest priority metrics for stratification
- Determine if stratification is possible on the selected metrics
- Stratify the data
