Keywords:

Health inequities are prevalent in the Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities population, and as this population grows, health inequities will grow. Policymakers and leaders have an opportunity to collaborate and partner with IDD providers to educate clinicians entering healthcare and provide training to the existing workforce. Empowering healthcare workers to be knowledgeable of best practices to implement for anyone, with or without a disability, will enable them to provide better quality care at a lower cost and achieve better-quality patient outcomes for those they care for. Best practices are an excellent start toward health equity for all. It is necessary to include people with disabilities in programs to prevent and manage chronic diseases and conditions.
