The Institute of Medicine (2001) identifies equity as one of six essential components of health-care quality. However, many health-care organizations lack a formal method to deeply understand and evaluate diverse patient and family experiences. Understanding care experiences of patients and families from minority racial and ethnic groups is essential to improving pervasive health disparities and to making health care more equitable. This article describes the creation of a toolkit aimed at strengthening health-care organizations' abilities to advance health equity through patient and family advisory councils (PFACs). This resource, cocreated with representatives from diverse PFACs, identifies and promotes strategies to recruit and retain diverse representation in advisory councils.
医学研究所（2001年）将公平确定为医疗质量的六个基本组成部分之一。然而，许多医疗保健组织缺乏一种正式方法来深入了解和评估不同患者及家庭的经历。了解少数种族和族裔群体患者及家庭的护理经历对于改善普遍存在的健康差距以及使医疗保健更加公平至关重要。本文介绍了一个工具包的创建，该工具包旨在通过患者和家庭咨询委员会（PFACs）增强医疗保健组织促进健康公平的能力。这个与不同PFACs的代表共同创建的资源，确定并推广了在咨询委员会中招募和留住多元化代表的策略。
