Final report on DEI Benchmark Survey results assesses social needs for equitable care

AHA and the Institute for Diversity and Health Equity released the fifth and final installment in its five-part DEI Data Insights series, which highlights results from the last DEI Benchmark Survey. This volume addresses societal factors that influence health within hospitals and health systems’ patient populations and communities. These non-medical factors — which contribute to health inequities and drive outcomes — include safe and stable housing, access to food and transportation, access to quality education, social connectivity, community and interpersonal safety, and a clean environment.
