MHQP is bringing together Massachusetts healthcare leaders across organizations to create a comprehensive statewide system for consistently measuring, understanding, and reducing racial and ethnic disparities. We call this initiative Measured Equity.
MHQP has been awarded funding from the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) to lead several multi-stakeholder convenings, in collaboration with community partners, to identify research agendas to help address fundamental health inequities in patient care*:

In 2022 and 2023, MHQP convened individuals with sickle cell disease, clinicians, researchers, and healthcare administrators to identify research directions to improve sickle cell disease pain self-management and pain crisis care, in partnership with the Massachusetts Sickle Cell Association.

In 2024, MHQP convened Black women with endometriosis, clinicians, researchers, and healthcare administrators to identify research directions to address the unique challenges that Black women with endometriosis face.

In 2024, MHQP convened Black patients, clinicians and researchers to identify new research directions to address mistrust in healthcare within the Black community.



In 2024, MHQP received a grant from RWJF’s Evidence for Action program, in partnership with the Cambridge Health Alliance Health Equity Research Lab, to advance health equity through an exploration of social risk factors in adjustment models, aiming to ensure fair comparisons of racial and ethnic disparities in patient experiences across organizations serving different patient populations.

In 2018, MHQP convened the Patient Engagement Roundtable Discussion on Affordability to explore patients’ perspectives on barriers to healthcare affordability, leading to important insights about the state of primary care in Massachusetts.
