Patient and family education: Powerful tool to reduce healthcare disparities

"While none of us wants to think we or the health care systems we work for provide inequitable care, there are areas where we sometimes create disparities unknowingly. Patient and family education (PFE) is one of those areas. If a PFE program is designed to fully serve certain patients and families but not others, care inequities are created."
