Hospitals in pursuit of excellence

Data and Cultural Competence -- AnMed Health

AnMed Health is a non-profit health system and the largest employer in Anderson County, South Carolina. It has achieved recognition in the National Call to Action for the Elimination of Health Care disparities through increased emphasis on recognizing and addressing the fact that “we all are diversity challenged in one way or another”, and collecting and using demographic data for quality improvement.

This case study is part of the Alliance for a Healthier South Carolina series on identifying innovative and effective approaches to improve population health inside and outside of the hospital walls.
