What We Don’t See: Leveraging Data to Uncover Systemic Bias and Confront Impacts on Patient Outcomes in Correctional Healthcare

 Objectives:

  2. Understand how improved data utilization can support a collaborative culture of accountability and inform policy and care decisions in participants systems.
  3. Discuss practical strategies to improve the collection and utilization of data across staff levels to promote clinical insights, operational improvements, and patient-centered outcomes.
