NYC Coalition to End Racism in Clinical Algorithms (CERCA) Inaugural Report

Abstract

In this inaugural report, we provide an update on the first nine months of CERCA’s activities. To raise awareness about CERCA’s vision, we outline theoretical frameworks and background research related to race modifiers in clinical algorithms, analytic approaches for prospective assessment and redress of race-adjusted algorithms, early feedback on barriers and facilitators from our health systems stakeholders, and future directions for ending racism in clinical algorithms in New York City and beyond.
