Disparities report

Order Description
Review the 2013 AHRQ disparities report. http://www.ahrq.gov/research/findings/nhqrdr/nhdr13/2013nhdr.pdf Chapter 2 of this report describes eight common conditions
which are influenced by disparities:
Cancer, Cardiovascular Disease, Chronic Kidney Disease, Diabetes, HIV/AIDS, Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Musculoskeletal Diseases, Respiratory Diseases.
Select one of these diagnoses and describe the problems associated with its care. Discuss the findings in the AHRQ report and how this influences the outcomes for an
individual patient or family. Look at FLORIDA state health department website and see if you can identify any specific programs which exist to help with this diagnosis
and how closely it may match the AHRQ report.
