Office for Health Data, Outcomes, and Engagement Strategy (HDOES)

The Office for Health Data, Outcomes, and Engagement Strategy (HDOES) aims to promote health equity and fair opportunities for both our patients and within the culture of the Mount Sinai Health System (MSHS).

Our Mission 

To support the Mount Sinai Health System to advance and uphold health equity, promote cultural awareness, and establish best practices, policies, and procedures which reduce harm and create fair opportunities for all. 

Our Vision 

To foster a culture that embraces innovative thinking, emphasizes fairness, and empowers and uplifts the many communities we serve to allow all to thrive. 

What We Do 

  • We serve as consultants and subject matter experts to teams across the organization. 
  • We provide education, tools, and resources to utilize data-informed strategies to identify opportunities to eliminate barriers, enhance health care outcomes, and strengthen the financial status of the health system. 
  • We engage with faculty, staff, and students to encourage and facilitate brave conversations to promote a culture of fairness and well-being. 

Special Initiatives 

Community Outreach Event Hub (COEH) 

The COEH serves as a platform to understand and evaluate the Mount Sinai Health System’s community outreach initiatives. The information we gather through the COEH allows the Health System to advance community health and health equity by leveraging opportunities to address the needs of the communities we serve and build an extensive network of resources. We encourage all faculty, staff, and trainees who coordinate community events to visit the Hub and learn more so you can contribute to our ongoing efforts. To learn more or to access the COEH, email Community.Tracker@mountsinai.org.  

Health Equity Data Assessment (HEDA) Hub 

The Health Equity Data Assessment Hub serves as Mount Sinai’s systemwide source for equity-focused data, analytics, research, and interventions. Through the HEDA Hub, we share insights, best practices, and opportunities to strengthen equity across clinical outcomes, patient care, workforce experience, and community engagement. HEDA committee members support leaders and teams in applying an equity lens to data collection, analysis, and decision-making—empowering our Health System to advance high-quality, equitable care for all patients and communities we serve. To learn more or to access the HEDA Hub, email HEDA@mountsinai.org.
