Description of CME Course

While this module was developed prior to the heightened awareness about the impact of continued social injustices and structural racism on health, the content remains more relevant today than ever. The existing module and refreshed resources support the need for accuracy and completeness of data for the measurement and improvement of health disparities. Of note, the Target: BP Race & Ethnicity Data Collection Essentials has been added to the Resources.

In the module, you’ll learn how to develop a standardized process for collection of patient demographic data and how to use that data for quality improvement initiatives related to population health. You can then demonstrate the value of instituting a standardized process for patient demographic data collection.
