NIH has a National Center for Minority Health and Health Disparities, and Kyu Rhee, MD, MPP, is its Director of Innovation & Program Coordination.
Neil Calman, MD, is the CEO of the Institute for Family Health, a network of safety-net clinics in New York. Neil doesn’t blog often, but when he does, it’s great (http://neilcalman.blogspot.com/).
Both Kyu and Neil presented at our conference last week and their presentations should be up on our Web site later today.
We spent a lot of time shadowing clinicians and patients (about half the time observing in safety-net settings) during the Patient-Centered HIT Initiative and blogged extensively about it (http://www.IxCenterBlog.org). We are working on plans to do much more in this setting in the near future.

“Many thought that cancer patients who were better off
would be more likely to use resources such as the Internet
to cope with their illness, yet our research indicates that
underserved patients with greater psychological needs are
more likely to take advantage of the Internet as a source of
cancer information. Our findings support efforts to expand
access to Web-based cancer information resources for
vulnerable populations who could benefit from this support,”
says Bret Shaw, assistant professor of life sciences
communication and lead author of the study. “It is also
interesting to learn that experiential information such as
personal stories from other patients may be among the
content that patients want most.”
