A System-Level Solution to Healthcare Disparity: Enhanced Transparency, Accountability, and Communication

Dr. Samuel Cykert, Professor of Medicine and Director of the Program on Health and Clinical Informatics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, elaborates on the components of a system-level solution to address care disparity that came as a result of his work with the Greensboro Health Disparities Collaborative, an anti-racism group active in the healthcare setting. In this video, he discusses the interventions, which include real-time transparency (eg, using electronic health records to determine whether the patient is keeping appointments and meeting treatment milestones), accountability, and enhanced communication.
