Stronger Together: Eliminating Racial Healthcare Inequities by Mitigating Systemic Racism

Ғылым және технология

The session was presented at 2023 AACC Annual Scientific Meeting (now ADLM Annual Meeting). Racism is a key driver of heath inequities. Specifically, structural racism influences social determinants of health, which leads to poorer health and well-being in racial and ethnic minorities. How can laboratorians equip themselves to address this complex health dilemma? This session will provide foundational and up-to-date information to empower participants to identify the health impacts of structural racism, mitigate these impacts and achieve health equity through laboratory medicine clinical practice workflows. The interactive session will: 1) discuss the new recommendations from the AACC and National Kidney Foundation Guidance Document on Chronic Kidney Disease Diagnosis- Improving Equity in Chronic Kidney Disease; 2) review the US Preventative Services Task Force policies aimed at mitigating systemic racism in guideline development and clinical preventive services; and 3) demonstrate how laboratorians can develop a health equity framework to practice laboratory medicine across their healthcare system.
