We seek to achieve equity in patient care, including affiliates
What We’re Doing to Meet This Goal
Working with the UCSF Policy Review Committee, to identify and revise policies that may be racist or have a differential impact on specific populations
Improve the patient experience for Black/African American patients
Drive improvement in ease of access and satisfaction with modality for Limited English Proficiency (LEP) and Black/African American patients
Improve digital access where disparities exist (in over-65 Black/African American and LEP populations)
Build upon HTN FY21 efforts to drive sustainable disparity reduction in HTN management
Build upon COVID FY21 efforts to focus on equity in vaccination efforts
How We’ll Measure Progress
Establishing a process for reviewing and revising policies will ensure we are on track to ensure we eliminate those policies that have racist or differential impacts.
Tracking patient/provider satisfaction and/or interpreter utilization will help us measure progress in improving language access.
Utilizing data from our patient experience survey will allow us to measure progress in eliminating disparities in patient experience, access, and satisfaction modality for LEP and Black/African American patients
Measuring adoption of HTN management will help us identify and address problem areas.
Tracking vaccination efforts and comparing rates to White patients and staff will help us identify and address disparities.
