National Healthcare Quality and Disparities Reports
The National Healthcare Quality and Disparities Reports are comprehensive assessments released annually by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. They evaluate the quality of healthcare in the country, highlighting areas where care is effective and where it needs improvement. The reports also identify disparities, or differences, in healthcare experiences and outcomes among different groups based on factors like race, ethnicity, income, and geography. The goal is to inform policymakers, providers, and the public, encouraging efforts to improve overall healthcare quality and ensure equitable access and outcomes for all populations.
