Video Transcription

Video Summary

In a recent webinar, radiologists Dr. Janelle Scott, Dr. Yoshimi Anzai, and Dr. Ryan Lee discussed strategies to enhance diversity, equity, and inclusion in radiology. Dr. Scott focused on addressing healthcare disparities through practical solutions, emphasizing patient-provider systemic factors, such as medical mistrust and implicit bias. She highlighted a persistent gap in breast cancer outcomes between Black and White women, partly due to a lack of mammographic screening outreach and inadequate follow-up for abnormal findings.<br /><br />Dr. Anzai explored how radiologists can transform value-based healthcare by focusing on access, transportation, language, cost, and trust. She emphasized the importance of community partnerships, telemedicine's role in rural and global health, and the critical need for maintaining the 340B drug pricing to improve healthcare affordability.<br /><br />Dr. Lee examined digital solutions to increase access to care, such as AI in chest radiographs to detect disparities in false negative rates across different demographics. He proposed using technology to improve patient communication and follow-up, which can significantly benefit underserved populations. Each spoke on the critical need for diverse AI development teams and algorithms tailored to specific populations to enhance equity in healthcare delivery.
