AAMC, ACGME, and AMA establish Physician Data Initiative
\n<\/b>The AAMC, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), and the American Medical Association (AMA) are collaborating through the Physician Data Initiative, a working group founded to establish a standard practice for categorizing, collecting, reporting, and sharing sociodemographic data. This work is driven by the importance of a diverse physician workforce and a more equitable health system, and recommended standards are now available for race and ethnicity and language proficiency. Additional standards are planned for development in the future. Any organization can use the standards. While the goal is not to mandate standards broadly across organizations, there is great benefit to voluntarily adopting mutually agreed-upon values and structure to gather and disaggregate data consistently. The groups will host a joint webinar on Dec. 5, \u201cPhysician Data Initiative: Establishing the Foundations for Collaborative Data Sharing\u201d (register here<\/a><\/u>).
