An Act relative to culturally competent and effective health care

This bill requires licensed healthcare facilities in Massachusetts to collect and submit annual demographic data on their physicians (including race, ethnicity, gender identity, language skills, specialty, and employment details) to state agencies. The data will be aggregated and made publicly available on the Board of Registration in Medicine website within 60 days of each year's end. State agencies must also report on this data to legislative committees and the Department of Public Health by February 28th annually. The goal is to assess how physician workforce diversity impacts health outcomes across the Commonwealth.
