Pay Equity Analysis and Roll-out
We engaged outside auditors to evaluate our pay structures and policies for equity. Over the next few months staff will be trained on how compensation is decided for new hires, salary increases and promotions. Additionally, a handbook is being developed that will outline the process and provide responses to frequently asked questions.
Health Equity Project
We kicked off a project to map “the state of health equity” at PPPSW- digging into data about our patients. Our goal is to identify, prioritize and then decide how to address any disparities in access, outcomes and experience among Black, indigenous and people of color as well as young patients (under 25) and patients who report same-sex partners.
We have looked at internal data about our own patients’ access, outcomes and experience to identify gaps between race, gender, sexual orientation, age or regional groups. We’re now focused on how to infuse this data into existing projects and decision-making processes.
