WASHINGTON, DC USA -- HEALTHCARE UPDATE NEWS SERVICE™ -- AUGUST 13, 2021: In November, eHI is thrilled to be hosting a Digital Health Equity Summit. Attendees will learn how digital health tools are already being used to bridge geographical issues, language barriers, and affordability gaps, and how robust individual-level data can help health organizations improve patient outcomes. Panels will also explore how institutional practices and policies should change to ensure the inequities in our current health care system are not carried over as the system continues to modernize.

All technology tools have one thing in common - they can be used for good or bad (however unintentionally). Digital health tools are no exception. Although many worry that pervasive issues in our health care system will be exacerbated by a growing reliance on health care technology, we believe digital health can be a powerful tool not only to promote health literacy, but to identify and address health disparities.

At this Summit, attendees will learn how digital health tools are already being used to bridge geographical issues, language barriers, and affordability gaps, and how robust individual-level data can help health organizations improve patient outcomes. Panels will also explore how institutional practices and policies should change to ensure the inequities in our current health care system are not carried over as it continues to modernize.

FEATURED PANELS:

• Delivering Maternal Health Equity Through Telehealth and Digital Tools
