AHRQ Holding Webinar on Digital Health Equity

Nov 7, 2024

Per the notice below, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) is holding a free Webinar on digital health care equity.

AHRQ National Webinar:

Advancing Digital Healthcare Equity: Navigating Disparities in the Digital Age

Register for the webinar on Dec. 3, 2024, from 3:00 – 4:30 p.m. ET

Digital technologies hold the potential to enhance outcomes and reduce disparities; however, they can also unintentionally perpetuate or even worsen existing disparities as a result of poor planning, development, deployment, and/or maintenance of such tools and technologies.  Join AHRQ’s National Webinar featuring an expert panel of speakers who will highlight recent federal efforts to advance health and digital healthcare equity.  The discussion will explore some of the latest frameworks, data, and tools to inform and advance health and digital healthcare equity.  At the conclusion of the event, participants should be able to:
  • Discuss CMS initiatives to improve health equity data collection and use to identify areas of disparities.
  • Describe how AHRQ’s evidence- and consensus-based digital health equity framework can improve outcomes while reducing disparities.
  • Identify how artificial intelligence model creation can introduce bias and understand how the ASTP Health Equity by Design framework can reduce digital health technology biases and barriers to equity.

AHRQ Digital Healthcare Research Program’s mission is to produce and disseminate evidence about how the evolving digital healthcare ecosystem can best advance the quality, safety, and effectiveness of healthcare for patients and their families.
