Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services released new Resource of Health Equity-related Data

CMS’s New Resource of Health Equity-related Data. The Office of Minority Health at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)  offers a table of suggested definitions, standards, and stratification practices for nine health equity-related data elements.  The resource can help providers, states, community organizations, researchers, and others collecting and/or stratifying data to align with CMS’s Framework for Health Equity.  It may also clarify differences in results that may arise when different data standards are used.
