Healthcare Equality Index
Human Rights Campaign Foundation & Gay and Lesbian Medical Association [2007-]
The Healthcare Equality Index rates U.S. healthcare facilites on how they treat their lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender patients and employees. Healthcare facilities are using the index as a guide to equal treatment for the LGBT community. The HEI focuses on five main policy areas: patient non-discrimination, hospital visitation, decision making, cultural competency training and employment policies and benefits.
