Diagnosis Transformed: Innovations & Practice Adaptations to Address Disparities and Care Equity During the COVID-19 Pandemic
June 2, 2021, 10 a.m.–1 p.m. ET
The Diagnostic Excellence Summit is an annual one-day internal Johns Hopkins conference devoted to key topics linked to improving the quality, accuracy and timeliness of medical diagnosis. This year, we have canceled our originally planned program in favor of a three-hour virtual conference open to the public (and recorded) to discuss disparities and equity issues facing patients during the COVID-19 pandemic; consider innovations in care models, research and clinical interventions; and examine existing gaps in knowledge of and best practices for addressing the impact of disparities on diagnosis.
Johns Hopkins Annual Hospital Activity and Mobility Conference
Virtual on-demand content available April 1-June 1, 2021
Virtual live content running April 21-24, 2021
Johns Hopkins Activity & Mobility Promotion (AMP) stands behind a systematic approach to combating hospital immobility and improving patient outcomes. While evidence supports the benefits of mobility, implementing these interventions requires creating a new collaborative culture. This conference bridges the gap between research and clinical implementation.
