October has been a momentous month for the Encoding Equity Alliance. Led by the Council of Medical Specialty Societies with the support of the Doris Duke Foundation, the #EncodingEquity Alliance seeks to drive change in clinical research and practice, identify inappropriate use of race in algorithms and guidelines, design more accurate and equitable decision tools, and collect and communicate evidence to advance health equity. Leading this work is the inaugural Encoding Equity Advisory Committee, an energetic panel of medical, public health and academic leaders from across a wide range of disciplines. We're so grateful for their leadership and vision. Meet the group here: https://lnkd.in/eSSCah8p While you are exploring the website, don’t miss the just-released final report from this summer’s galvanizing meeting, Together to Catalyze Change for Racial Equity in Clinical Algorithms. Packed with session overviews, case studies, compelling quotes and useful takeaways, the new report will bring readers up to date on the state of the field. Read the report: https://lnkd.in/eupeM-YG

Our annual Einstein photo of the National Academy of Medicine Scholars in Diagnostic Excellence, in partnership with Council of Medical Specialty Societies. The photo includes most of our graduating 2023 scholars and our new 2024 scholars, along with staff and key champions including Clyde Yancy (program co-chair with Carolyn Clancy), Mark Graber, and Karen Cosby, MD, FACEP, CPPS. Immensely proud of the work they have done to advance diagnostic safety, quality, and equity. The biggest shift over the 4 cohorts has been the incorporation of #AI into the scholars' work. Grateful to Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and The John A. Hartford Foundation for the continued support. Special thanks to Harvey Fineberg for meeting with our new scholars. I'm too short to reach Einstein's nose to rub for luck, but these scholars don't really need it!

CMSS is excited to share a new e-learning course. The Disagreeing Better Toolkit for Clinicians and Care Teams was developed with CDC funding to improve the value of interactions between clinicians and vaccine hesitant patients. Though it was developed to address vaccine hesitancy, the course would be relevant for any difficult conversations that clinicians have with patients. The Disagreeing Better course was developed by Julia Minson and is based on her years of research on conflict as a professor at Harvard University. The course is made up of nine brief interactive modules, and is available on the CMSS Learning Center. It is offered free of charge and up to 1.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits ™ are available. The course is designed for all patient-facing clinicians, and we encourage societies to share this information with your members. Society Members may create a free system account on the CMSS Learning Center to access this freely available educational content.

CMSS is pleased to share the press release announcing the launch of Encoding Equity in Clinical Research & Practice: Rethinking Race in Clinical Algorithms. This new alliance will be led by the Council of Medical Specialty Societies and is generously supported by a $3M Grant from the Doris Duke Foundation. The Encoding Equity alliance will encourage reassessment of race in algorithms across medical specialties, and support a series of convenings, publications and other educational outreach activities designed to promote understanding and the spread of best practices in this work. As a convener of medical societies, CMSS is uniquely positioned to bring the clinical and research communities together to foster collective action and amplify impact. The additional focus brought by the Encoding Equity alliance structure will enable us to accelerate change more urgently and comprehensively than any one organization or group of stakeholders can. We seek to engage and activate more individuals and organizations across the medicine, research, funding, publishing and technology sectors to share in designing better tools for medicine. We are incredibly grateful to the Doris Duke Foundation for their support, which will enable us all to accelerate change more urgently and comprehensively than any one organization or group of stakeholders can.

At today’s convening at the National Academy of Medicine, Helen Burstin announced the launch of Encoding Equity in Clinical Research & Practice: Rethinking Race in Clinical Algorithms, a new alliance to be led by the Council of Medical Specialty Societies and generously supported by the Doris Duke Foundation. The Encoding Equity alliance will drive change to ensure that equity is encoded in algorithms which reflect unbiased and valid evidence. Our goals include changing the way in which race is considered in research design and ensuring that patients— especially those who have been harmed by biased algorithms—experience the best possible health outcomes. This new effort will build on the work already underway and shared during today’s convening, coordinate efforts across sectors, share best practices for revisiting existing algorithms, educate, and disseminate information on the urgent need to reconsider the role of race in clinical algorithms. CMSS is incredibly grateful for the Doris Duke Foundation and Sindy Escobar Alvarez in their support of the Encoding Equity Alliance, which will enable us all to accelerate change more urgently and comprehensively than any one organization or group of stakeholders can. We look forward to sharing more details on this new alliance to follow.

In 2023, the National Health Equity Grand Rounds series turned the traditional concept of “medical grand rounds” on its head. This series serves as a free, open-access platform through which diverse thought leaders – including world-renowned physicians, also emerging scholars, interprofessional leaders, students and activists – come together in conversation around today’s most critical health justice topics, building on ideas and strategies for individuals and institutions to reshape our healthcare system—and advance equity. You won’t want to miss out on the first National Health Equity Grand Rounds event of 2024, Advancing Health Equity Through Resistance: A State of the Union on Threats and Opportunities, on Thursday, May 30 starting at 3:30 PM CT. Join public health leaders, healthcare professionals, policy experts and community organizers as they delve into best practices for advancing health equity—discussing the coordinated efforts to dismantle this work in various parts of the country and identifying strategies to counter resistance while building a stronger multiracial democracy equipped to support health for every individual and community. Health care professionals may claim continuing medical education (#CME) credit or certificate of participation AT NO COST for attending. https://lnkd.in/gXG3HSbi The event is developed by American Medical Association, ACGME, National Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education, and RespectAbility with support from ABIM Foundation, Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), American Society of Addiction Medicine - ASAM, AMA Ed Hub, Boston Medical Center (BMC), Council of Medical Specialty Societies, HealthBegins, Kaiser Permanente, Sinai Chicago, Social Mission Alliance, The Hastings Center, and Joint Commission. #healthequity #healthcare #meded #dei
