Workshop_in_brief
To explore opportunities for improving equitable diagnosis to reduce health disparities in the U.S., the Forum on Advancing Diagnostic Excellence at the National Academies hosted a public workshop in September 2024 in collaboration with the Roundtable on the Promotion of Health Equity. Speakers highlighted factors contributing to diagnostic inequities and suggested potential strategies to advance health equity through technology, education, research, and patient- and community-centered approaches.
Speakers at the workshop discussed potential strategies including using technological innovations such as remote monitoring and telehealth, improving education in cultural humility and holistic care, enhancing high quality data collection on historically underserved communities, increasing patient engagement, improving clinician communication, and strengthening community partnerships to build trust with patients. This publication highlights the presentations and discussions that occurred at the workshop.
