It is often discussed that there are healthcare disparities in women, minorities and the disabled. In the AHRQ report they discuss opportunities for healthcare quality and reducing disparities. They discuss in depth healthcare related to cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, Maternal and Child Health, Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Supportive and Palliative Care and Healthcare Delivery and systems (AHRQ, 2012). This is worth reading.
