Description:
Although high-level statistics exist, many systems lack consistent, transparent, granular data on racial and economic disparities in processes and outcomes at hospital or unit level, and where data do exist they are not systematically used to drive change.
Desired Outcome:
Accessible, high-quality, disaggregated data on access, treatment and outcomes are routinely collected, publicly reported and directly tied to improvement and accountability mechanisms.
What Could Go Wrong:
Data collection without meaningful action leads to cynicism; political interference suppresses uncomfortable statistics; poor data quality allows continued denial of systemic problems.
Current Situation:
National agencies, NGOs and academics produce strong analyses, but hospital-level accountability and follow-through are uneven; some inquiries explicitly cite poor data and missing ethnicity coding as part of the problem.
Action Strategy:
Use PHC to prototype the database you envisaged: incident-level Concerns tagged by location, demographics, clinical factors and suspected causes; encourage adoption of standardised disparity indicators at board level; partner with existing campaigns to align PHC logging with their evidence bases.
