Quality of human resources staff ethnicity data in health in Aotearoa New Zealand: an audit of “not stated” staff ethnicity and a data linkage assessment

This project assessed the extent of "not stated" staff ethnicity data and misclassification in two large health districts. Staff with "not stated" on their records were willing to provide their ethnicity data when asked the Standard question. This project suggests the need for quality improvement activities in recording HR ethnicity data to support planning and monitoring workforce diversity.
