THE FUTURE OF HEALTHCARE:
INNOVATIONS IN DATA TO ACHIEVE HEALTH EQUITY
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2022
8:00 am – 6:00 pm
UCI BEALL APPLIED INNOVATION CENTER
5270 CALIFORNIA AVENUE, IRVINE, CA 92617
Organized by
Data is an important and critical element in addressing health equity. When data is absent, entire populations are overlooked. When clinical trials omit people of color, medicine is not inclusive, precise, or adequate. Historically marginalized communities are victimized by data inequity and it has a ripple effect that can take generations to correct.
This symposium will tackle data equity as a foundational component of health equity. We will hear speakers from the public and private sector to an audience of medical practitioners, scientists, researchers, community organizations, patient advocates, students, and the community at large. We will also have breakout sessions featuring 4 different sectors of healthcare including mental health, precision health (physical health), public health and prevention/ early intervention.

In his new role, he oversees the overall UCI Health system, which includes UCI Medical Center and more than a dozen outpatient research and specialty care centers throughout Orange County and portions of Riverside County. UCI Health is the leading healthcare organization in Orange County and the only one to combine leading-edge, health-focused research, teaching and patient care. UCI Medical Center has been listed among “America’s Best Hospitals” by U.S. News & World Report for 19 consecutive years, and its physicians and surgeons regularly populate “Best Doctors” ratings.
It was Orange County’s first hospital to receive Magnet status for nursing excellence through the American Nurses Credentialing Center and has been redesignated three times, a feat accomplished by less than 1% of the nation’s hospitals. In addition, the medical center operates the county’s only National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center and only Level I trauma center.
