Abstract
Algorithms for guiding health care decisions have come under increasing scrutiny for being unfair to certain racial and ethnic groups. The authors describe their multistep process, using data from 3,465 individuals, to reduce racial and ethnic bias in an algorithm developed to identify state Medicaid beneficiaries experiencing homelessness and chronic health needs who were eligible for coordinated health care and housing supports. Through an iterative process of adjusting inputs, reviewing outputs with diverse stakeholders, and performing quality assurance, the authors developed an algorithm that achieved racial and ethnic parity in the selection of eligible Medicaid beneficiaries.
