Thank you to @ACPIMPhysicians for recognizing disparities experienced by people with disabilities. The recommendations—including strengthening facility accessibility & disability documentation, research participation, and data collection—are critical to improve quality of care.
ACP@ACPIMPhysicians

In two new papers published in @annalsofim, ACP says that disability as an aspect of diversity should be considered when making policy decisions, and that implementing the recommendations would improve care for patients with disabilities and ensure a diverse physician workforce reflective of American society: f.mtr.cool/mlqevbaxbe
