Health Information Sharing and Diagnostic Disparity
Description:
Healthcare disparity is a critical concern within the U.S. healthcare system due to its impact on patient care and treatment decisions. In this talk, we focus on disparate impact in healthcare, i.e., the unintentional discriminatory effects of physician diagnostic practices that might disproportionately affect minorities. Researchers found health information sharing helps with diagnosis decision making. Thus, our talk will also discuss how access to patient health information through health information exchange (HIE) systems influences disparate impact in physician diagnostic behavior.
