CQC Webinar – Improving the Collection and Use of Race, Ethnicity and Language Data

This CQC webinar featured a panel of experts about the importance of improving the collection and use of race, ethnicity and language (REaL) data and how that data can help us understand the populations we serve and better address health disparities.
