COVID 19 - Laying Bare Nationwide Health Disparities

<p>Returning to the healthcare field amidst the COVID-19 crisis, host <a href="https://bloustein.rutgers.edu/shapiro">Stuart Shapiro</a> welcomes Professor <a href="https://bloustein.rutgers.edu/bhuyan">Soumitra Bhuyan</a>, who teaches in the Bloustein School's health administration program and <a href="https://umg.rwjms.rutgers.edu/doctor_page.php?phys_id=1380">Dr. Sabiha Hussain</a> from Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital. Their discussion focuses on the social determinants of health; what they are and how they are affecting the outcomes of COVID-19 patients. The role of information technology (IT) and telemedicine are also playing a larger role in the crisis, as doctors seek to reach populations disproportionately affected by COVID-19 while at the same time reducing the burden on the healthcare system.&nbsp;</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ejbtalks/message
