Children's Hospitals Today - Summer 2024 - 20
FEATURE / TRENDS
REaL DATA
Children's hospitals are seeking ways to improve the accuracy of race, ethnicity,
and language (REaL) patient data. Capturing this demographic data allows
health care organizations to better understand patients' and caregivers' lived
experiences, quantify equity gaps, address bias in processes, policies, and behaviors,
use effective communication, and track the success of interventions.
Accurate REaL data collection may be
hindered by limitations in hospitals'
electronic medical records, patient and
caregiver hesitancy, and inconsistencies
in race and ethn icity definitions.
Here what children's hospitals should
consider when working to improve
REaL data collection.
Build data collection into quality
improvement efforts.
Align with diversity, equity, and
inclusion initiatives.
Engage patient and community
groups.
Use scripting and provide a way
for caregivers and patient to selfreport
information.
Include options for multiple
languages, races, and ethnicities.
Track and report progress on an
organization-wide basis.
Match REaL data collection efforts
with existing governmental reporting
requirements.
Assign accountability for
improvements.
Employ standardized policies
and trainings across the entire
organization.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
As science fiction becomes simply science, children's hospitals are adapting
to the seemingly infinite possibilities of artificial intelligence.
Genetic syndrome diagnosis
A noninvasive AI solution at Children's
National Hospital assesses the structure
of a patient's face for specific feature
attributes associated with genetic
disorders.
Transplant matches
At Cincinnati Children's, an open-source
AI tool enables cardiologists to make
heart transplant matches in seconds.
Readmission predictions
An AI model at Akron Children automatically
produces a deterioration
index score indicating a patient's risk
factor and populates a graph illustrating
the patient's trendline over time-
allowing the care team to intervene early.
