IFD, HRET survey on hospital efforts to reduce health disparities underway

The Institute for Diversity in Health Management and Health Research & Educational Trust last week mailed hospital CEOs their 2015 survey to learn more about hospitals’ ongoing efforts to address health care disparities and improve diversity management practices. All hospitals are encouraged to complete the survey. Those that do will receive a summary of the findings and, if requested from the Institute, a customized performance benchmarking report. For more information, contact Tomás Leόn at (312) 422-2630 or tleon@aha.org. More than 700 hospitals have signed onto the AHA’s #123forEquity Pledge to Act Campaign to eliminate health care disparities and a number of partner organizations have endorsed the campaign, announced at the Health Forum-AHA Leadership Summit in July.
