Hi Students - according to Byrd (2020) the overall health of the elderly population in America is improving, but minority elders are disproportionately affected by differences in access to care and are less likely to receive routine medical care. Research has shown that minority elders are a population that is receiving a markedly lower quality of care than their white counterparts, and this is unacceptable from a social justice standpoint. Consistency and equity of care should be promoted not only because it is just, but because healthcare disparities are costly and can lead to significant morbidity and disability. Poorly managed care, or missed diagnoses, can lead to avoidable complications and significantly impact an individual's health, quality of life, and life expectancy. It is essential to understand how this type of disparity occurs in order to devise a plan to eliminate this problem (para. 2). Do you know of any policies in your state that are helping to address these issues in the elder population? Reference Byrd, L. (2020). Health disparities affecting minority elder populations.
