PARTNERS HHS OFFICE OF MINORITY HEALTH
           

CMS is working with the Federal Collaboration on Health Disparities Research (FCHDR). The FCHDR is an alliance between Federal Partners who operate under the leadership of HHS’ Office of Minority Health and seek to identify new or improved solutions to eliminate health disparities through research that can influence practice and policy. Through this collaborative effort, CMS has been working with Federal agencies to:

  • Explore the complexity of health disparities reduction through social determinants and identify new or improved solutions;
  • Coordinate across and between Federal agencies to actively pursue evidenced-based interventions that will lead to the reduction of health disparities;
  • Support and disseminate measurable health outcomes to infuse and enhance services in key pubic health areas;
  • Identify priorities for cross-agency collaborations with CMS; and,
  • Improve efforts to collect, disseminate and use data related to health disparities.
