Report of the Secretary’s Task Force on Black and Minority Health
Report of the Secretary’s Task Force on Black and Minority Health
This report was released in 1985 under the leadership of former HHS Secretary Margaret Heckler. This landmark report marked the first convening of a group of health experts by the United States government to conduct a comprehensive study of racial and ethnic minority health and elevated minority health to a national stage. The anniversary theme is “30 Years of Advancing Health Equity | The Heckler Report: A Force for Ending Health Disparities in America.” This theme commemorates our nation’s efforts towards eliminating health disparities among racial and ethnic minorities that were mobilized by the findings from the Heckler Report. This milestone anniversary serves as a paramount opportunity to highlight national and local efforts towards eliminating health disparities and advancing health equity, including legislative policy and actions such as the Affordable Care Act, the HHS Action Plan to Reduce Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities, and the National Partnership for Action to End Health Disparities. |
Root Cause Analysis
Root Cause Analysis
The goal of the root cause analysis process is to find out what happened, why it happened, and how to prevent it from happening again. Because our culture of safety is based on prevention, not punishment, teams investigate how well patient care systems function. We focus on the "how" and the "why" not on the "who". Through the application of Human Factors Engineering approaches, we aim to support human performance. |
