Health Care Disparities Resources Providing care differently to those who may be of an ethic minority, speak a different language, or be of a different socioeconomic class, is a significant problem in the way health care is delivered and measured. Health care managers need to constantly be aware of the specific issues related to health care disparities.

Health care managers can use the Agency of Healthcare Research (AHRQ) as a resource. The AHRQ created a National Healthcare Disparities report to educate health care professionals in this area. Please review this report and any other resources you may locate related to healthcare disparities from the Capella library or Internet. These resources will help you create your post.
