After a systematic review and development process, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has adopted new data standards for race, ethnicity, sex, primary language and disability status. Identifying disparities and effectively targeting and monitoring efforts to reduce them has been limited by a lack of specificity, uniformity and quality in data collection and reporting procedures. Review the Final Collection Standards required by Section 4302 of the Affordable Care Act.
