Figure H.3. Change in Disparities in Core Quality Measures Over Time for Members of Selected Groups Compared with Reference Group

Bar graph compares following groups: Black vs. White (n=20): Improving, 20%, Same, 50%, Worsening, 30%; Asian vs. White (n=20): Improving, 25%, Same, 40%, Worsening, 35%; AI/AN vs. White (n=20): Improving, 25%, Same, 35%, Worsening, 40%; Hispanic vs. Non-Hispanic White (n=20): Improving, 30%, Same, 45%, Worsening, 25%; Poor vs. High Income (n=12): Improving, 25%, Same, 8%, Worsening, 67%.

Improving = Population-reference group difference becoming smaller at rate greater than 1% per year.
Same = Population-reference group difference not changing.
