[quote=Anonymous]As someone who works in research, I can see why the organization that she works for would want the data about the race/ethnicity of who calls and makes an appointment, which is a different data set from who comes in and goes to an appointment. By tracking this data, the doctor (or a government agency or a university research team) who is looking at how the new medicaid system is working can tell things like what groups are more and less likely to go to an appointment after making one. There may be groups with lower than average rates of actually showing up and that would be helpful in designing outreach programs. Maybe explain to your friend that data is a useful thing and it can be used to help make programs better and this will help her to see the important role she is playing in the process of gathering such data.
