As part of ONC’s efforts to embrace the concept of health equity by design, ONC’s Health Information Technology Advisory Committee (HITAC) held a hearing in March to explore equity considerations in health IT featuring expert panelists from the fields of health equity, health IT, and health data exchange.
Panelists drew from their experience working to advance health equity in distinct sectors, including practicing clinical medicine, developing technology for healthcare, and working to foster data sharing between healthcare and community-based organizations. Synthesized themes from the hearing include consistent, equitable data collection and interoperability challenges; the digital divide, including disparities in broadband access and digital literacy; and artificial intelligence considerations, including transparency and the importance of identifying bias and curtailing its impacts.
