The New Super Determinant: Digital Divide

They share strategies for bridging the “digital divide” and improving health outcomes from leaders “in the trenches” trying to improve quality and access. Panelists include Kemi Alli, MD, CEO of the Henry J. Austin Health Center; Anita Ramsetty, MD, CCMS, Medical Director, Faculty Advisor of the CARES Clinic & Director, Student Service Learning, College of Medicine of the Medical University of South Carolina; Sara Ratner, Senior Vice President, Government Programs and Strategic Initiatives of Revel Health; Jorge Rodriguez, MD, Health Technology Equity Researcher & Hospitalist, Department of General Internal Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.
This Bright Spots in Healthcare episode is sponsored by Revel Health, which is innovating how healthcare organizations think about population health and consumer engagement. In brief, Revel Health focuses on understanding people. They know the populations you struggle with like Medicaid or Medicare Advantage, are NOT about population health — it’s about the individual. And this is the most important point I want to make, they approach healthcare differently, by understanding the values and belief systems of the individual, so they can create a personalized plan to drive positive behavioral change. It’s really a very fresh way of thinking about engagement and SDOH. Check them out at www.revel-health.com.
