Cardiologists underestimate racial and ethnic disparities in care

in-hospital quality initiative and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation recently launched a quality improvement initiative focused directly on reducing disparities.

"In the long run, no single intervention is likely to reduce or eliminate disparities," researchers conclude. "Nevertheless, the combination of increasing awareness, improving quality and increasing patients demand for and participation in high-quality care will likely contribute to addressing this important social issue."
