About this site
The Measuring Health Equity website is intended to serve as a comprehensive guide to demographic data collection in health-care settings. The goal of this website is to provide practical advice, tools, and resources on how to plan, implement, and use patient and client demographic data in health-care settings. The website provides specialized insight into health data collection in the Toronto Region and is an excellent model for demographic data collection in health-care settings beyond the Canadian context.

We fund and monitor health system performance at a local level. By working locally, we can meet the unique needs of our region, improving patient access to the right services, at the right time, in the right place. It also allows for careful future-state planning, making sure our communities get the care they need now, and in the future.
