Description

Health disparities in liver disease have long been recognized to affect liver disease morbidity and mortality. There are growing efforts to leverage community-based organizations, electronic medical records (EMRs) and electronic health records (EHRs), social needs screening, and other tools to improve access and outcomes for vulnerable populations. These tools, however, are often developed and implemented in silos around the country. This session provides a platform for sharing strategies, successes, and failures in efforts to improve health disparities in liver disease.
