Healthcare IT Today: Healthcare Inequality

Published: July 11, 2020, midnight

For the 39th episode of the Healthcare IT Podcast, we're talking about healthcare inequality. Sadly, there are a whole lot of directions we could have taken this discussion and so we'll no doubt discuss it more in the future. If there's something we didn't discuss in this episode that you think we should, let us know in the comments or on Twitter.

For this episode we wanted to look at some very specific areas of healthcare inequality that have really come to light amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Not that we weren't aware of them before COVID-19, but in most cases the stories have gotten even worse amidst the crisis. Plus, we always have to splash some IT into the discussion as well.

Here’s a quick preview of the healthcare inequalities we discuss in this episode:
* Access to Care
* Access to Digital Health
* Social Determinants of Health
* What Can Health IT Companies Do?
