在同一保健制度和同一保健计划内，在享有类似健康保险的人之间，观察到了健康结果和保健质量方面的种族和族裔差异。由于缺乏种族/族裔数据，国家消除这些差距的努力受到阻碍。卫生保健提供者收集这些数据，加上收集、使用和隐私保护的标准，将是消除差异的第一步。虽然在数据收集方面没有全国性的共识，但先前研究的重要性，相关的公共和私人努力以及美国人口的日益多样性可能会增加对医疗保健环境中种族和民族准确数据的需求。
Racial and ethnic disparities in health outcomes and quality of care have been observed among persons with similar health insurance, within the same system of care, and within the same health plan. National efforts to eliminate these disparities are hindered by the lack of race/ethnicity data. Collection of these data by health care providers, coupled with standards for collection, use, and privacy protection, would be a first step toward eliminating disparities. Although no national consensus exists with respect to data collection, the weight of prior research, related public and private efforts, and growing diversity of the U.S. population are likely to increase demand for accurate data on race and ethnicity in health care settings.
