Program overview
“AI-DRIVEN OUTREACH REDUCES HEALTH INEQUITIES AND IMPROVES ASTHMA CONTROL”
Asthma prevalence is surging, especially among children, with one in 12 children in the U.S. having asthma. Racial/ethnic disparities are concerning, as Black and Hispanic children experience higher asthma hospitalization rates than white children.
PCCI and Parkland Health leveraged artificial intelligence (AI) to reduce inequities for low-income pediatric patients with asthma. Analyzing diverse data sets, teams identified those at risk for asthma-related emergency department visits (ED) and hospitalizations. Collaborating with interdisciplinary community coalitions, they launched interventions: community outreach, asthma screening and referrals, digital outreach, home visits, and risk-driven clinical support. The interventions impacted thousands of patients and improved outcomes – home visits improved asthma symptom control by 26%, and digital patient engagement reduced ED visits for lower-asthma-related issues by 36%.
At the 10:20 a.m. to 11:10 a.m. breakout session, PCCI’s CEO, Steve Miff, PhD, joins a panel of experts to discuss how to bridge the gap of healthcare disparities.
Program Overview
FROM INTENT TO IMPACT: USING DATA TO DECREASE CLINICAL DISPARITIES AND CREATE HEALTHY COMMUNITIES
The economic burden of healthcare disparities in the United States is nearing $1 trillion and negatively affects millions of lives. However, there is a path forward, using data and analytics to understand the affected patient populations and the root causes of the issues.
Join this session to gain insights from a panel of industry experts. Learn how they have connected the community to the issue to improve overall health, created clinically focused equity platform and partnership, built a cohort of equity-focused partners, and more. This session will be particularly impactful if you lead quality, clinical improvements, or data science efforts.
