RESUMO

PURPOSE: Most individuals with a hereditary cancer syndrome are unaware of their genetic status to underutilization of hereditary cancer risk assessment. Chatbots, or programs that use artificial intelligence to simulate conversation, have emerged as a promising tool in health care and, more recently, as a potential tool for genetic cancer risk assessment and counseling. Here, we evaluated the existing literature on the use of chatbots in genetic cancer risk assessment and counseling. METHODS: A systematic review was conducted using key electronic databases to identify studies which use chatbots for genetic cancer risk assessment and counseling. Eligible studies were further subjected to meta-analysis. RESULTS: Seven studies met inclusion criteria, evaluating five distinct chatbots. Three studies evaluated a chatbot that could perform genetic cancer risk assessment, one study evaluated a chatbot that offered patient counseling, and three studies included both functions. The pooled estimated completion rate for the genetic cancer risk assessment was 36.7% (95% CI, 14.8 to 65.9). Two studies included comprehensive patient characteristics, and none involved a comparison group. Chatbots varied as to the involvement of a health care provider in the process of risk assessment and counseling. CONCLUSION: Chatbots have been used to streamline genetic cancer risk assessment and counseling and hold promise for reducing barriers to genetic services. Data regarding user and nonuser characteristics are lacking, as are data regarding comparative effectiveness to usual care. Future research may consider the impact of chatbots on equitable access to genetic services.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the racial disparities in health outcomes within our nation. This is especially relevant in the field of radiology where the lack of minority representation is particularly striking. The purpose of this paper is to describe a pipeline program designed to support underrepresented minority (URM) students and provide a model to bridge URMs to careers in medicine hence cultivating health equity. METHODS: We designed a radiology pipeline program within The Travelers Summer Research Fellowship Program (TSRF) to give underrepresented students an opportunity to engage with radiologists. Participants experience a rich inquiry-based curriculum and completed pre- and post-intervention surveys that measured motivational factors for medical education and interest level in medical careers. RESULTS: 29 undergraduate students participated in the 2021 TSRF Program. The data comparing the pre- and post-surveys demonstrated that the TSRF program played a positive role in sparking interest in radiology, debunking misperceptions about radiologists, and boosting participant confidence regarding medical school applications. DISCUSSION: We created an interactive curriculum for URM students to cultivate a new generation of radiologists that will reflect and better meet the needs of the populations they are serving thereby mitigating the current health disparities in our nation.

RESUMO

Patient-centered care (PCC) and equity are two of the six core domains of quality health care, according to the Institute of Medicine. Exceptional imaging care requires radiology practices to provide patient-centered (i.e., respectful and responsive to individual patient preferences, needs, and values) and equitable (i.e., does not vary in quality on the basis of gender, ethnicity, geographic location, or socioeconomic status) care. Specific barriers that prevent the delivery of patient-centered equitable care include information gaps, breaches of trust, organizational medical culture, and financial incentives. Information gaps limit practitioners in understanding the lived experience of patients. Breaches of trust prevent patients from seeking needed medical care. Organizational medical cultures may not be centered around patient experiences. Financial incentives can impede practitioners' ability to spend the time and resources required to meet patient goals and needs. Intentional approaches that integrate core principles in both PCC and health equity are required to deliver high-quality patient-centered imaging care for diverse patient populations. The purpose of this AJR Expert Panel Narrative Review is to review the origins of the PCC movement in radiology, characterize connections between the PCC and health equity movements, and describe concrete examples of ways to foster patient-centered equitable care in radiology.

RESUMO

The carnage wrought by systemic racism through social, judicial, and health injustices compels us to work towards a system that is fair and just for patients and colleagues. The evidence that change is necessary in medicine is hiding in plain sight in literature, oral histories, medical records, and news media. Notwithstanding this evidence, changing a system 400 years in the making will require a major paradigm shift. One of the many ways our department sought to catalyze such a shift was through media consumption, reflection, and discussion. Reading and studying literature and humanities in medicine can awaken our consciousness by making medicine an embodied practice that considers the totality of patients' lives in ways that a disembodied, purely scientific approach cannot. Thus, we started a Racial and Social Justice Book Club to normalize discussions about racial and social (in)justice and examine everything through an anti-racist lens. Herein, we describe our experiences in the inaugural year of the Book Club, a space to lend credence and dignity to the voices, experiences, and stories of folks who have long been marginalized by power structures in America, including medicine.
