The goal of eliminating disparities in health care in the United
States remains elusive. Even as quality improves on specific
measures, disparities often persist. Addressing these disparities
must begin with the fundamental step of bringing the nature of the
disparities and the groups at risk for those disparities to light
by collecting health care quality information stratified by race,
ethnicity and language data. Then attention can be focused on where
interventions might be best applied, and on planning and evaluating
those efforts to inform the development of policy and the
application of resources. A lack of standardization of categories
for race, ethnicity, and language data has been suggested as one
obstacle to achieving more widespread collection and utilization of
these data. Race, Ethnicity, and Language Data identifies current
models for collecting and coding race, ethnicity, and language
data; reviews challenges involved in obtaining these data, and
makes recommendations for a nationally standardized approach for
use in health care quality improvement.
