Our
life experiences are tied with the spectrum of identities we hold.
When it comes to our interactions with the health care system, our
outcomes are often shaped by gender, LGBTQIA+ status, race and
ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. People with disabilities are
part of every community, but not all health needs look the same. In
this second conversation in the Disability & Health Webinar
series, All of Us will be hosting a broad conversation about
disability intersectionality when it comes to health.

paper, published in JAMA
Network Open, addresses the use of healthcare algorithms
and provides the healthcare community with guiding principles to
avoid repeating errors that have tainted the use of algorithms in
other sectors. This work was conducted by a technical expert panel
that included researchers at the Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality (AHRQ).

According
to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, rural residents
tend to be older and in poorer health than their urban counterparts.
The 2023 Rural-Urban
Disparities in Health Care in Medicare report provides
information on the quality of health care received by people with
Medicare nationwide. The report highlights rural-urban differences in
health care experiences and clinical care, how rural-urban
differences in quality of care vary by race and ethnicity, and how
racial and ethnic differences in quality of care vary between rural
and urban areas.

CDC
updated its estimates of the numbers of flu illnesses,
hospitalizations and deaths prevented as a result of vaccination
during the 2022-2023 flu season. Flu vaccination prevented 6 million
flu-related illnesses, 2.9 million medical visits, 65,000 hospitalizations,
and 3,700 deaths, according to recently updated estimates. Estimates
for the 2019-2020 and 2021-2022 flu seasons were also

The
White House has released the first ever U.S. Playbook to Address
Social Determinants of Health (SDOH). Black, Hispanic, American
Indian/Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander
(NHOPI) people fared worse across most measures of SDOH compared to
their White counterparts. Social determinants of health prevent many
people of racial/ethnic minority groups from having fair
opportunities for economic, physical, and emotional health. The
Playbook lays out an initial set of structural actions agencies are
taking to support equitable health outcomes across communities. It
also highlights the need for well-coordinated systems of health and
social care to better address social needs that can impact health.
