New AHRQ Chartbook Shows Healthcare Trends for Asians, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders

AHRQ’s new Chartbook on Healthcare for Asians, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders shows several areas of improved patient safety, such as appropriate prescription medicines for seniors; more effective care for people suffering a stroke; and increased rates of vaccine for pneumonia. However, disparities remain, including getting timely medical or dental care or treatment, having language assistance during medical appointments, and being aware of serostatus among people with HIV. The chartbook summarizes trends in healthcare and disparities and shows selected demographics. It is part of a series derived from AHRQ's annual National Healthcare Quality and Disparities Report.
