NYSPFP Health Care Disparities Survey Overview and Results
Goal: NYSPFP Health Care Disparities Initiative Goal and Approach To assist hospitals in identifying potential disparities in care delivery through standardized capture of data and information.

The survey covered the following topics: Processes and systems for collecting data, Uses of existing data, Education and training programs for staff, and How NYSPFP can best support hospitals in improving their ability to collect REaL data. The survey also assessed hospitals collection of sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) data and disability status. Hospitals completed the survey between April and June 2017. NYSPFP received 46 survey responses. 5
