Why we study disparities : the human stories behind the data / Jeffrey Brady - July-September 2016 - Journal of Nursing Care Quality 31 : 3, page 197-200 .

The National Healthcare Quality and Disparities Report, or QDR, documents and quantifies these disparities. Mandated by Congress and published annually by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) since 2003, the QDR is the gold standard for measuring national progress in achieving quality goals. The integration of disparities data into the quality report demonstrates our recognition that quality improvement is incomplete until everyone enjoys the benefits. Unfortunately, these data show that some of the inequities the Heckler Report described in 1985 still persist.
