Hospitals in pursuit of excellence

Quality Care for All

Working toward the Triple Aim of better care, better health and lower cost means achieving the goal for all patients. A new resource, Equity of Care: A Toolkit for Eliminating Health Care Disparities, gathers best practices in one place. This toolkit outlines a framework for improving quality of care for all patients—whether your hospital or health care system is beginning work in this area or further along the journey toward health care equity. Resources in the toolkit address all three core areas of the Equity of Care initiative: increasing the collection and use of race, ethnicity and language preference data; increasing cultural competency training; and increasing diversity at the leadership and governance levels.

Equity of Care is a collaboration of the American Hospital Association, American College of Healthcare Executives, Association of American Medical Colleges, Catholic Health Association of the United States, and America’s Essential Hospitals.
