Equity Lens / Tableau at University of Chicago

Mary Kate Springman, Director of Quality Analytics, Mark Connolly, BI Lead, and Michael Wall, PharmD, Chief Analytics Officer, University of Chicago Medicine.  UChicago Medicine deployed a quality scorecard in 2013 to track the health system’s performance across each domain of the STEEEP principles (Safe, Timely, Effective, Efficient, Equity, and Patient-centered) except for equity.  While the scorecard continued to evolve through newer business intelligence tools, the challenge of effectively analyzing the equity domain remained unaccomplished aside from subsequent data requests, until the introduction of the Equity Lens in 2019. During this presentation, the UChicago Medicine Data & Analytics team shares their journey toward this deliverable, demonstrating how this architecture is now being leveraged widely across campus to identify potential inequities of care across 60 different quality measures.
