Standardized patient level demographic data collection started in 2013 in downtown Toronto Hospitals following the “Measuring Health Equity in Toronto Central LHIN” mandate. This Toronto Central LHIN mandate outlined a set of standardized demographic questions focused on 8 demographic variables: spoken language, Canadian-born, ethnicity/race, disability, gender, sexual orientation, income, # of people income support. Furthermore, this mandate sought to introduce a standardized data collection effort that would secure access to patient demographic data and promote system-level approach to health equity. Community Health Centres have a long history of collecting patient and client-level demographic data and by joining the Measuring Health Equity in Toronto Central LHIN mandate in 2014, they have adopted the standardized set of 8 demographic questions.
