Research Working Group

The Research Working Group is committed to promoting research in health care disparities. They are also planning to develop improved measurement tools, in addition to the Picker Inpatient Survey (a questionnaire designed to focus on specific dimensions of patients' experiences) to assess inpatient satisfaction at CHB as it relates to issues important to diverse populations.
