Abstract
The problem of racial disparities in the US health care system is well described, and effective solutions are needed to eliminate such differences in care.1 Health care delivery organizations play a vital role in quality improvement, and these organizations have a similarly important role in measuring and eliminating racial disparities in care.2 Quality improvement has been suggested as a promising solution for these organizations to reduce or eliminate health care disparities.3,4This publication has 21 references indexed in Scilit:
