What are standards of care? Standards of care are both formal and informal guidelines that are accepted in the medical community and may be developed by a specialist society or organization and are standards and protocols by which these experts would agree are the “best practices” for the medical community (Torrey, 2020).If Covid-19 showed us anything it was that standards of care are not equally applied across the board equally at health care facilities. The African American, Hispanic/Latino, and Native Americans were disproportionally hit the hardest with death rates nearly double of White and Asian Americans (COVID-19: Impact on Underserved Communities, 2021). Why is the number so much higher? One of the greatest challenges is access to care in the inner-city/low-income communities. Not only is there an issue with access, but many times there is an issue with proper equipment, and as Covid-19 shown us, many hospitals were not equipped to deal with the surge in patients. There was a lack of PPE and it especially hit low-income communities the hardest.
