The Urgent Fight for Health Equity: Inequality, the economy, and public health
Digital transformation continues to shape the healthcare industry. Osama Alsaleh analyzes how technology-enabled healthcare has the power to address inequality in the healthcare space.
Social disparities and inequities in access to higher education, among other factors, have limited many community’s ability to generate economic and social growth. The impact goes far beyond the economy: Each of these factors also takes an enormous toll on the health and well-being of many people of color. This panel brings together economic, scientific, and policy ideals to discuss how we can build a more equitable and healthier future for everyone.
The Interoperability of Empathy
Representative Diversity and Inclusion is slowly gaining prevalence in technical industries such as Healthcare IT. Through experiential knowledge, we will explore topics of how Diversity and Inclusion can become woven into a Cerner's culture through a technical and empathic lens. In this discussion we will challenge how to leverage innovation while also making compassion and empathy interoperable. Tangible utility can be created for the most technical and least technical teams---we've explored methods of questioning how to move towards improving diversity and inclusion both personally and professionally. From this discussion, we hope participants will be better positioned to make measurable progress in bringing about sustainable change regarding nuanced, inter-related topics such as product development, self development and consciousness in our workforce.
Exploring the Ethics of AI in Healthcare
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have the potential to transform patient care, quality and outcomes. With the opportunity to revolutionize healthcare, comes concerns about the negative impact these technologies could have on human interaction and patient safety, including gender and racial bias. As our models become increasingly more sophisticated and complex, so too do the demands for predicting, mitigating, measuring, and communicating negative outcomes. In this session we will explore Cerner’s thought leadership around AI and ML and how we transform data into healthcare intelligence. We will tie this into a discussion around ethics and the role of patient safety in AI and ML development, deployment, implementation and adoption and how Cerner is connecting the dots.
In Pursuit of Advancing Equity in Healthcare: A Systems Approach
Health equity has become a central theme in our healthcare industry’s drive to deliver more accessible higher-quality care. The rapidly evolving fields of artificial intelligence, big data, and sophisticated IT tools are being harnessed to effect this positive change. As innovators, developers, clinicians, and HIT experts, we are well positioned to join in and lead this industry transformation. In this panel, we will explore health equity, both what it is and why it is critically important. We will look at Cerner’s approach to tackling this challenge at the organizational and product development levels and the opportunities this presents.
While the concept of addressing health equity is not foreign, clients are increasingly seeking guidance and technology capabilities to advance the needs of their at-risk communities by screening patients for unmet patient needs, connecting people to resources, and measuring the impact of interventions. Secondly, we’ll be exploring inequities in the age of pandemic response, institutional externalities, equity vs equality and a systems design framework with many use cases. Lastly, we will connect the concepts of health equity to every day Cerner associates
