Clinical Laboratory Services and Equity

Equity can be defined as fair and impartial treatment. These proactive measures are examples of how a laboratory can ensure equity in laboratory testing services:
  • Provide patients with educational material at the appropriate reading level and context.
  • Provide educational materials in other languages if there are communities of individuals for whom English is a second language.
