Maria D. Flowers
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, University of Southern California
This study sought to understand why disparate healthcare between White Americans and minoritized populations has been allowed to persist despite decades of research about unequal treatment. It is widely proven and accepted that systemic racism drives health disparities yet disparate health outcomes continue to rise for minoritized populations. Healthcare organizations and professionals should operate to improve the health and well-being of all patients. The pursuit of profits and the underlying biases rooted in the foundations of systemic racism will continue to perpetuate without increased organizational accountability. The United States government needs to protect vulnerable patients by changing policies that inject greater accountability for organizations to provide safe and equitable care. Patient Safety legislation reform is needed for patients to increase the reporting of preventable events that lead to disparate outcomes. Medical education organizations should provide a standardized curriculum on the promotion of equitable care that is introduced at earlier levels of medical training. The perspectives of stakeholders representing US healthcare organizations contributed to the results and recommendations in this study.
