Addressing inequity in the health care system is a topic of great concern among physicians. Historically, available data containing metrics to measure health equity lags 5 - 15 years behind current conditions. New tools are necessary to help physicians address this issue. Many hurdles could potentially be mitigated by a technologically advanced telehealth solution using natural language processing (NLP) and artificial intelligence (AI) analysis, including communication gaps between providers and patients; providers’ ability to identify at-risk patients; providers’ ability to collect and analyze encounter data; and lack of awareness of potential unconscious bias.
