Electronic dashboards interfacing with electronic health records can disaggregate patient data to identify potential avenues for reducing disparities. This cross-sectional study assessed contextual and design factors that would inform implementation of an \u2018Equity Dashboard\u2019 at one transplant center.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Clinicians, implementation science experts, and patients were interviewed.

Perceived facilitators included: Inner Setting constructs of mission alignment, culture, tension for change, compatibility, and structural characteristics; and Individual Characteristics construct of high-level leaders. Dashboard alignment was expected with institutional commitment to patient-centered care, center workflow, and leadership support. Perceived barriers included: Intervention Characteristics construct of costs; and Inner Setting constructs of access to knowledge and information, information technology infrastructure, and work infrastructure. Financial costs were expected to support information technology development, staff training and time, and interventions arising from dashboard findings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our findings suggest that perceived barriers were largely modifiable while perceived facilitators were immutable and integral to the institution, which would facilitate dashboard implementation.
