Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program (BHCHP) works diligently to strengthen clinical equity in homeless health care as an integral part of its care model. For several years, the analytics team has performed analyses on clinical quality data stratified by patient demographics. Members of the clinical, analytics, quality, and consumer advisory board teams review and discuss the data. The analytics team dives deeper into areas of disparity to investigate possible drivers. Examples include inequities by preferred language and steps taken to close those gaps. BHCHP plans to continue this inter-team collaboration to address disparities and provide equitable health care.
