The project partnered with precision medicine company CareDx, to create educational content developed by a patient-centered committee, data science and digital technology, to improve awareness about the need for organ donations from underserved communities, according to an April 21 press release.  

The project also aims to better inform patients in those communities about health interventions that may help them avoid end-stage organ failure and a transplant.

The pilot program, supported by CareDx and other patient advocacy groups, is designed to be scalable so that it can be adopted by healthcare providers across the country.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
