Amend. of 1972, the require. under the Hill-Burton Act of 1946, & the nondiscrim. provisions of the community block grant programs admin. by HHS. Focuses on the enforcement of these nondiscrim. laws & their impact on ensuring equal access to quality health care for all Amer., particularly women & people of color. Highlights significant weaknesses in the OCR's enforce. efforts. The deficiencies are due to OCR's failure to recognize the importance of its mission & to embrace the opportunity it has to eliminate disparities & discrim. in the health care system.Berry, Mary Frances is the author of 'Health Care Challenge : Acknowledging Disparity, Confronting Discrimination, and Ensuring Equality, the Role of Federal Civil Rights Enforcement Efforts', published 2003 under ISBN 9780756732974 and ISBN 0756732972.
