Abstract
The structure of the healthcare system has a profound impact on patient care and their health outcomes, especially among racial and ethnic minority groups. Structural and systemic barriers are crucial in shaping health disparities and inequities, with various components exacerbating or mitigating the problem. Research on this subject has grown exponentially into a multifaceted field. In the past 20 years, The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has published annual reports with measurable trends related to accessibility, affordability, coordination, effective treatment, healthy living, patient safety, and person-centered care. Focusing on the challenges plaguing underserved populations is essential to achieve meaningful progress in addressing health care disparities.
