Data Collection and Reporting

The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) initiated a quality improvement project to improve use of data for action to promote racial equity. To address the challenges identified in the study, the team identified potential solutions and prioritized development and piloting of the MDPH Racial Equity Data Road Map (Road Map). The Road Map framework provides strategies for data collection and uses that to support the direction of actionable data-driven resources to racial inequities. The Road Map is a resource to support programs to authentically engage communities; frame data in the broader contexts that impact health; and design solutions that address root causes.
