Description
Summary:As part of its mission to champion the advancement of health equity, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Office of Health Equity (OHE) is partnering with the Quality Enhancement Research Initiative (QUERI) to evaluate gaps in morbidity and mortality outcomes among vulnerable Veteran populations with major conditions and to examine trends in quality of care across these conditions. Because of the shortened timeframe of this evidence brief, we only evaluated studies of race- and ethnicity-based mortality and morbidity differences since these are the OHE's highest priority indicators of health care quality.
