| Abstrakt: | Although there has been tremendous progress toward the aspiration of delivering quality health care, among the National Academy of Medicine's (previously Institute of Medicine) six pillars of quality (health care should be safe, effective, timely, patient-centered, efficient, and equitable), the last pillar, equity, has been largely ignored. Examples of how the quality improvement (QI) process leads to improvements are numerous and must be applied to the pillar of equity related to race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status. This article describes how equity should be addressed using the QI process. (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.) |
