Our goal was to identify racial and ethnic disparities in health outcome and care measures in Wisconsin.
We used electronic health record data from 25 health systems submitting to the Wisconsin Collaborative for Healthcare Quality to identify disparities in measures, including vaccinations, screenings, risk factors for chronic disease, and chronic disease management.
American Indian/Alaska Native and Black populations experienced substantial disparities across multiple measures. Asian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic/Latino, and White populations experienced substantial disparities for 2 measures each.
Reducing health disparities is a statewide imperative. Root causes of health disparities, such as systemic racism and socioeconomic factors, should be addressed for groups experiencing multiple disparities, with focused efforts on selected measures when indicated.
我们的目标是确定威斯康星州健康结果和护理措施方面的种族和民族差异。
我们使用向威斯康星州医疗保健质量合作组织提交的 25 个卫生系统的电子健康记录数据,确定了包括疫苗接种、筛查、慢性病风险因素和慢性病管理在内的措施方面的差异。
美国印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民和黑人在多个指标上存在显著差异。亚洲/太平洋岛民、西班牙裔/拉丁裔和白人在两个指标上存在显著差异。
减少健康差异是全州范围内的当务之急。健康差异的根本原因,如系统性种族主义和社会经济因素,应针对多个指标的群体得到解决,并在必要时针对特定指标进行重点努力。
