This project is a systemic review and assessment of diversity strategies currently in place at The Scarborough Hospital using the Diversity Institute’s Diversity Audit Tool (DAT). The DAT was developed based on research into leading practices and offers a lens through which diversity strategies can be analyzed; this will be the first time that it is applied to an organization within the healthcare sector. The DAT will be used to measure the policies and practices aimed at increasing diversity (in both its client base and the organization itself) currently in place at The Scarborough Hospital by comparing them to the leading practices identified by the DAT. Special attention will be paid in the subsequent analysis to the strengths and weaknesses of the tool to identify key areas within this healthcare sector as well as to identify areas of improvement. Furthermore, the interpretive framework for analysis will be informed by a targeted literature review, enabling the student to recommend alternatives and future action.
