Reducing racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities in health care: opportunities in national health reform
Abstract
Policy often focuses on reducing health care disparities through interventions at the patient and provider level. While unquestionably important, system-wide reforms to reduce uninsurance, improve geographic availability of services, increase workforce diversity, and promote clinical best practices are essential for progress in reducing disparities.
