CAPC Releases the Health Care Experience of Hispanic Patients with Serious Illness: A Literature Review
Today, CAPC released its first-of-its-kind literature review analyzing more than 200 peer-reviewed journal articles to understand the health care experience of Hispanic patients with serious illness, and their families and unpaid caregivers. The literature review identified 14 key findings, including areas where care for Hispanic patients often falls short such as pain and symptom management and patient-provider communications.
This literature review is part of CAPC’s Project Equity initiative, and the findings will be used to develop pathways and tools to create meaningful change and reduce inequities experienced by traditionally marginalized communities.
