Question

Explain why you agree or disagree with the philosophy that paying providers or institutions for quality is a good way to shrink the health care disparity gap and to improve the quality of health care in our country?

Answer 1

I strongly agree to the statement that the health care disparity can be reduced by providing quality health care by the institution and also this will improve the quality of care of the country.

Wide-scale disparity exists in the quality of healthcare across different ethnic and racial groups. These disparities occur in the incidence, prevalence and burden of disease as well as in the incidence of adverse health outcomes and mortality.

Examples of the minority groups that feel the greatest impact of these disparities include racial and ethnic minorities, lesbian, gay and transgender individuals, women, children, the elderly, disabled people and individuals from lower socioeconomic backgrounds.Discrimination occurs when healthcare providers treat individuals from certain population groups differently to other population groups, whether this is done consciously or not. This can occur if providers have a sterotyped impression of a certain racial or ethnic group, for example. Some researchers suggest that doctors are more likely to apply a negative stereotype to minority groups, irrespective of their income, education or personality.So if the health care provider order institution pay attention to shrink this disparity and improves quality of health care delivery system.
