The American Hospital Association (AHA) has distributed a biennial Health Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Survey to its members and is seeking responses by Feb. 28. You should have received an email with a unique survey link for your facility.
Your voluntary participation in this survey is essential to learning more about how to support hospitals and health systems in their efforts to advance equity. All questions in the survey will be treated as confidential and answers will not be released without expressed, written permission. However, the AHA will share aggregate state, not individual hospital data with state hospital associations upon request. The aggregate survey findings will be disseminated by the AHA in various ways, including reports, presentations and educational forums. A robust data set will also inform policy changes to support equity in patient care and workforce improvements.
The AHA is posting a challenge to see which state will have the highest number of members complete the survey. The winner will be recognized at the AHA’s Accelerating Health Equity Conference from May 10 – 12, in Cleveland, Ohio.
Please reach out to the AHA at surveysupport@aha.org to have your survey link resent.
