Mark your calendars for October 14, when Katherine Bennett, MD, from the NW GWEC, will present as part of the National Academies’ Forum on Advancing Diagnostic Excellence. This hybrid public workshop will bring together leading experts to explore solutions for improving diagnosis in rural communities across the U.S.

  • Delivering patient-centered care that addresses the complex factors driving health disparities.

  • Reducing access barriers by expanding availability of primary and specialty care, overcoming geographic challenges, and strengthening care coordination.

  • Leveraging innovations—from AI tools to telehealth and remote diagnostics—to support real-time decision-making and data sharing.

  • Supporting rural health care professionals through advanced training, interprofessional collaboration, and strategies to reduce diagnostic delays.

  • Scaling rural strategies to inform diagnostic improvement efforts in other underserved settings.

This is an important opportunity to learn how innovation and collaboration can improve health outcomes for rural populations.
