A planning committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will organize and conduct a public workshop to examine equity in access to high-quality diagnosis to reduce health disparities. Workshop participants will consider the current scientific landscape and research opportunities for improving equitable diagnosis within the U.S. health care system, with emphasis on populations at greatest risk of harm from diagnostic errors. The workshop will feature invited presentations and discussions on:

• Factors that create barriers in access to high-quality diagnosis;
• Strategies to reduce barriers to access, including ways to leverage community-centered approaches;
• Approaches to professional education and development to increase clinician cultural competence and awareness;
• The role of technologies and diagnostic innovations in reducing diagnostic disparities;
• Development and validation of measures for diagnostic equity;
• Research gaps and opportunities to enhance data collection for historically underrepresented and marginalized communities.

In accordance with institutional guidelines, a designated rapporteur will prepare a proceedings-in brief of the workshop based on the presentations and discussion during that workshop. The proceedings-in brief will be subject to the National Academies review procedures prior to release.
