CTC-RI Hosts 2nd Webinar in Demographic Data Collection Pilot Train-the-Trainer Series

The second webinar in our train-the-trainer series for the Demographic Data Collection Pilot was held in November. Focused on Demographic Data Standards, Natasha Viveiros and Jennifer Etue from PCHC delved into a discussion of the 1997 OMB standards, current state, and the future 2023 OMB-Proposed Race and Ethnicity Stratification. Their insightful presentation addressed key objectives, including understanding the intricacies of race and ethnicity demographic data collection standards, recognizing the role of race and ethnicity in shaping patient interactions, building comfort and capacity for front desk staff in addressing race and ethnicity questions, and enhancing comprehension of organizational oversight and accountability mechanisms tied to demographic data collection. The webinar series continues with our next session specifically addressing SOGI Data Collection. We look forward to continuing to work with the 15 participating practices in this initiative.
