Abstract
Challenging racism in the use of health data
Highlights
Data and data-driven technologies are playing an increasingly influential role in health care, helping to detect disease earlier, move care closer to home, encourage health-promoting behaviours, and improve the efficiency of service delivery
Structural racism—defined as the macrolevel systems, ideologies, and processes that interact with one another to produce cumulative and chronic adverse outcomes for people from ethnic minority groups—is deeply entrenched in our society
The closely related discipline of statistics played a pivotal role in the development and justification of race science, which has been used to justify slavery, discrimination, and racist ideologies.[1]
Summary
Data and data-driven technologies are playing an increasingly influential role in health care, helping to detect disease earlier, move care closer to home, encourage health-promoting behaviours, and improve the efficiency of service delivery.
