The Office for Health Data, Outcomes, and Engagement Strategy (HDOES) promotes health equity and fair opportunities to create a welcoming learning and health care environment.
Our Mission
To support the Mount Sinai Health System by advancing and upholding health equity and promoting cultural awareness. We seek to establish best practices, policies, and procedures to 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, trainees, and students to encourage and facilitate brave conversations to establish a culture of well-being.
Organizational Structure trainees
We strive to embed a lens of equity in all operations within the Health System by engaging with teams to advance health outcomes and identify opportunities for all faculty, staff, students, and patients to thrive.
Data
We are driving enterprise efforts to ensure reliable data collection and integrity. Integral to this effort is the development and implementation of governance, quality, and analytics frameworks to inform decisions that improve patient-care delivery and workforce well-being.
Outcomes
HDOES collaborates with administrative and clinical leaders to advance performance improvement and measurement initiatives. We focus on clinical, operational, and financial outcomes to achieve equitable, high-quality care.
Engagement
HDOES leads and supports Engagement Councils and Employee Resource Groups to foster an equitable environment. At the patient level, we administer allied-health and nursing pathway programs to provide access to those with limited opportunities.
Strategy
We develop strategies and education that strengthen connection, collaboration, and belonging across the organization and within the community, aligning efforts with organizational goals. Key to our objectives is the use of data-driven approaches to advance equity, quality, and performance.
Special Initiatives
The Office for Health Data, Outcomes, and Engagement Strategy (HDOES) leads a range of special initiatives designed to drive engagement, advance health equity, and support our communities.
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.
