Philadelphia-area health organizations, including Temple Health, and Independence Blue Cross have formed the Regional Coalition to Eliminate Race-Based Medicine to work together to remove race “adjustments” from 15 commonly used clinical decision support tools that may adversely impact patients’ outcomes. The group will work together to phase out the use of race as a variable in some of the tools and will collaborate on alternative best practices which do not reinforce a biological understanding of race. Becker’s Hospital Review and Patch covered the news.
Update: Temple Health and Keystone First Family Health Plans have reached a new contract agreement.
