As part of the OSUWMC's participation in the Human Rights Campaign's Healthcare Equality Index (HEI) evaluation process and efforts toward establishing highest ratings, HRC will offer a 90-minute live webinar to leadership on LGBT patient-centered care at no charge.  The annual HEI surveys and rates respondents on their policies and practices related to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) patients and families. It also serves as a unique benchmarking tool for identifying emerging best practices in LGBT patient-centered care. Facilities throughout the nation now look to the HEI for up-to-date assistance in providing equitable, inclusive care to LGBT patients and families.
