Racial disparities in health care isn’t a new topic; for more than two decades researchers have focused on quality of care, access, and safety of people of color versus their white counterparts. While in recent years quality and access has improved thanks to initiatives like the Affordable Care Act, there is still a gap in the quality of care different groups receive. It’s vital to continue reducing the biases and disparities in health care through education, communication and action.
In Reducing Racial Disparities in Health Care, participants will not only examine the disparities that exist when serving a diverse population, but also approach each inequity head-on to learn more about the causes and how to address them. By focusing on data collection and performance measurements unique to their own organizations, participants will identify how core issues in care quality of ethnic and racial minority groups, which are often multifactorial in nature, contribute to poorer health outcomes, lead to higher costs and exemplify low-value health care.
