Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
In this project, the impact of providing a practice-level equity dashboard that displays ambulatory quality outcome metrics stratified by race and language to primary care providers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) will be evaluated. Provision of the dashboard data will be paired with additional clinical support focused on hypertension control among Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) and patients with limited English proficiency (LEP). The investigators hypothesize that there will be a improvement in hypertension control (primary outcome), diabetes control and breast cancer screening (secondary outcomes) among Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) and patients with limited English proficiency (LEP) in the intervention period compared to the control period.

- Equity Dashboard, Population Health Coordinator and Community Health Worker Support
- description
- After the step in which the primary care providers are randomized to receiving intervention, one group of providers will receive the equity dashboard data and complete an equity huddle where they will review their list of eligible patients (Black, Indigenous and People of Color \[BIPOC\] patients and patients with limited English proficiency \[LEP\]) with a population health coordinator (PHC). The goal of the equity huddle will be to develop a plan to improve eligible patients' hypertension control. One of the options will be to refer patients to a community health worker (CHW) program focused specifically on addressing hypertension.

The goal of the equity huddle will be to develop a plan to improve eligible patients' hypertension control.
