In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

Since publication of the IOM report "To Err is Human," the goals of safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable health care have become the mantra for laboratory quality. Increasingly, healthcare purchasers, patients and payers are demanding accountability. In this issue of Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, we will address opportunities for quality improvement throughout the testing cycle with the goal of enhanced clinical effectiveness and improved patient outcomes. Discussions include opportunities for improvement as well as quality reporting and the development of quality measures, lessons learned from the nation's first experience with building an institute for laboratory quality, dangers of false positive and false negative test results, measurement of quality in anatomic pathology, electronic data interface and interoperability, among other highly relevant topics intended to serve as a useful reference for laboratory professionals and others engaged in quality improvement efforts.
