Managing patients with sex-, race-, or ethnicity-based cardiovascular health inequities.

Cardiovascular health inequities are experienced among cisgender women, gender minorities, Black and Indigenous people, and people with lower socioeconomic status. Early identification and treatment of patients at risk for disparate and adverse cardiac health outcomes are essential.

Improving health disparities in PA practices: A quality improvement initiative.

Objective: To assess a quality improvement initiative designed to highlight awareness of health disparities and improve healthcare practices among participants.

Methods: Data were collected from 102 clinically practicing PAs over a 2-year timespan via the quality improvement initiative Outside the Box: Reducing Health Disparities. As part of the program, participants reviewed 10 random charts in their practice, documenting how they identified and/or managed common health disparities.
