IOM Summary: Achieving Health Equity via the Affordable Care Act
This December 2015 report follows an Institute of Medicine workshop on Achieving Health Equity via the Affordable Care Act: Promises, Provisions, and Making Reform a Reality for Diverse Patients. Although it does not offer any consensus of the panel’s opinion, the workshop summary does offer readers takeaways on how the 2010 health care law could help achieve more equity between various groups. The panel’s 26-members weighed issues such as patient-centered medical homes, public policy and safety nets and insurance affordability.
