1 Using your Race/Ethnicity Data Quality Databooks Nov. 29, 2016 Jennifer Rienks, PhD; Linda Remy, PhD; Adrienne Shatara, MPH Family Health Outcomes Project, UCSF
2 Background Family Health Outcomes project (FHOP) analyzes: birth certificate data Hospital patient discharge data emergency department data Develop 12-year data summary spreadsheets on key maternal, child, and adolescent health (MCAH) outcomes for California s 61 local health jurisdictions (LHJs). Data also analyzed by race/ethnicity to enable LHJs to identify and address disparities Recently noticed alarming increase in undefined (missing, unknown, or other) race/ethnicity
3 Background Systematic collection of race, ethnicity, language and birthplace important for: monitoring and improving hospital practices, population- based studies of health equity, 1,2 and studies of quality care and comparative and cost effectiveness 3 Availability of race and ethnicity (R/E) central to reliably measuring population health disparities CDC data quality standard = no more than 1% of records undefined (other, unknown); national median ranging from 0.4% to 0.5% CA above 1% for many years Growing problem directly undermines the mission of public health organizations to reduce race/ethnic disparities Problem magnified in longitudinal research
4 Background Lack of specific guidelines for data collection has contributed to inconsistency in reporting, variable validity across R/E groups, and low completeness 1 CA Hospitals required to report R/E data to Office for Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD) Data auditing at time of submission but only general benchmarks for data completeness and consistency are examined 2 OSHPD occasionally exempts a hospital from having to submit R/E data for a specified period of time In general, patient demographic data collected by hospitals is inconsistent, inaccurate, incomplete, fragmented, & collected in silos 3, 4 In 2011, Gomez et. al. 5 surveyed of 56% of hospital in CA (n=205) on hospital practices in collection of patient race, ethnicity, and language data Despite near universal collection of language and race/ethnicity, variability in hospital policies may compromise quality and consistency of data Data quality issues present significant barrier to understanding magnitude of health disparities
5 Methods DATA SOURCES: California Birth Certificate data in the Birth Statistical Master File (BSMF) from Center for Health Statistics and Informatics Patient Discharge Data (PDD) and Emergency Department Data (EDD) from Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development BSMF and PDD available for the period EDD available for period Data quality rates were calculated per 100 births or discharges of females age 15 to 44
6 Methods (cont.) DATA QUALITY: Calculated separately for race and ethnicity, and then for a combined race/ethnicity (R/E) variable. Birth Certificate Data: R/E is undefined when ethnicity is NOT Hispanic and Mother's RACE1 is other, unknown, or missing Hospital Patient Discharge Data and Emergency Department Data: PPD and EDD Data: R/E is undefined when ethnicity is NOT Hispanic and Race is other, unknown or missing, where other includes natives of Central and South American and multi-race
7 Methods How hospital R/E is coded Data is collected separately for R/E with ethnicity collected first For ethnicity, data should be collected on whether or not a person is of Hispanic or Latino culture or origin Sample patient demographic questionnaire: 1. Are you of Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin? (Mark ONE box.) Yes (specify (e.g. Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, etc.)) No, not Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin 2. What is your race? (Mark one or more boxes.) White/Caucasian Asian Black/African American Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander American Indian/Alaska Native Some other race: (specify) Prefer not to answer 3. IF MORE THAN ONE RACE (Question #2) IS CHECKED: Do you identify with any one race in particular? Yes No (specify)
8 R/E Data Quality in California: The BIG PICTURE
9 Results: Rates of Undefined R/E data quality in CA over time Hosp. Dis. Birth Cert. Emer. Dept. CDC Stand
10 CA hospitals and undefined R/E Patient Discharge Data 12-year averages for undefined R/E 332 (82%) hospitals exceed CDC s 1% standard 28 (6%) hospitals > 10% 87 (18%) hospitals < 1% Birth Certificate Data 12-year averages for undefined R/E 64 (22%) hospitals exceed CDC s 1% standard 16 (5%) hospitals > 5% 230 (77%) hospitals < 1% Emergency Dept. Data 12-year averages for undefined R/E 289 (87%) hospitals exceed CDC s 1% standard 14 (4%) hospitals > 20% 46 (14%) hospitals < 1%
11 CA Rates of Undefined Ethnicity, Race, and combined R/E over time in PPD
12 R/E Data Quality Databooks FHOP has produced 3 data quality databooks for each LHJ: Hospital Patient Discharge Data (files named PRACEQ2013_XX) Hospital Emergency Department Data (files named ERACEQ2013_XX) Birth Certificate Data (files name BRACEQ2013_XX) R/E data quality databooks available on Fhop s website: Data quality databooks based on place of residence (NOT place of occurrence)
13 R/E Data Quality Databooks Tabs Local numerators (number of records missing race, ethnicity, and race/ethnicity) and denominators (total number of records) State numerators (number of records missing race, ethnicity, and race/ethnicity) and denominators (total number of records) Race Rates Race Graphs Ethnicity Rates Ethnicity Graphs Race/Ethnicity rate Race/Ethnicity graphs

17 Tab: Local Hispanic Rates
18 Tab: Local Hispanic Graphs From , significant upward trend in undefined Hispanic ethnicity in BC
19 Tab: Race Ethnicity Rates
20 Tab: Race Ethnicity Graph From , significant upward trend in combined undefined Race ethnicity in BC
21 Implications for your LHJ Databooks If you have high rates of undefined R/E, the quality of your R/E data suffers because there are fewer cases with which to calculate rates. Fewer cases to calculate rates can result in: The need to pool the data over the years. Instead of yearly rates, you will get 2-year, 3-year, or 4-year rates Reduction the statistical power to identify significant changes in rates and trends Loss of ability to generate reliable rates by race/ethnicity, and identify changes in trends over time. This means that it will be harder to monitor the health of smaller R/E groups and identify disparities
22 Optional: Assessing Data quality at the hospital level If you have high rates of undefined R/E, see hospital level data quality spreadsheets available at: Hospital R/E Hospital level R/E data quality spreadsheets based on place of occurrence (NOT place of residence) 3 Hospital Level R/E data quality spreadsheets for Patient Discharge data (PRACEHQ) Emergency Department data (ERACEHQ) Birth Certificate data (BRACEHQ) Often there is significant variation in R/E data quality within the SAME hospital

26 Assessing hospital R/E data quality for quality improvement efforts Focus on SIZE of the problem and of the hospital: Hospitals with the largest number of discharges AND with highest rates of undefined R/E: Highest 12-year averages over 5% for multiple years over 3% for multiple years AND focus on trends Is R/E data quality getting better or worse? Examine hospital R/E data quality from all sources Birth Certificate Patient Discharge Death Certificate

28 Rates of missing R/E data quality in Alameda County over time (by residence) Hosp. Dis. Birth Cert. Emer. Dept. CDC Stand
29 Implications for Identifying Local R/E Disparities Data quality varied significantly within county, over time, and by source. The most significant problems were in the Bay Area, San Diego, and Ventura counties Birth certificate indicators with self-contained denominators were the least affected Poor R/E data quality reduces ability to: Calculate reliable jurisdiction level rates for smaller race/ethnic Identify disparities Evaluate the statistical significance of changes in rates Identify and monitor trends
30 Discussion Potential reasons for increasing rates of undefined R/E in birth certificate, hospital discharge, and Emergency dept. data Rise in number or people who are multiracial and don t identify with one particular race Failure of hospital personnel to effectively collect R/E data Problems at hospital level with information technology (i.e. Electronic Health Record) How hospitals use R/E data 5 Ensuring availability of interpreter services - 36% Quality improvement/disease management programs - 36% Program/benefit design - 16% Marketing - 13%
31 Discussion Strategies with the most hospital support to improve quality and completeness of patient information 1 : Collecting data at a patient s first visit Offering routine staff training, Incorporating questions into existing admissions forms Developing and enforcing of hospital policies regarding data collection Availability of a frequently asked questions and answers document for staff Strategies that are identified as most effective: Standardized forms Audit procedures
32 Recommendations to Improve Data collection and quality Why every patient should be asked about R/E 2 ALL patients should be asked about their race/ethnicity, and language Self-reporting is the most accurate source of information Self-reporting will increase consistent reporting within a health care institution Patients are more likely to select the same categories to describe themselves over time than staff who are assuming or guessing Best way to ask based on research 2 : In order to guarantee that all patients receive the highest quality of care and to ensure the best services possible, we are asking all patients about their race, ethnicity, and language. Standardize race and ethnic reporting across data sources (birth certificates, hospital discharge, and emergency department)
