| dc.description.abstract |
Though racial classifications may serve as a mechanism for identifying and correcting disparities among various groups , using such classifications in a clinical setting to detect and treat patient needs can be problematic . This report explores how medical professionals and researchers use race in health care for purposes of data collection , risk assessment , and diagnosis and treatment options . Using mixed race individuals as an example , it then discusses some of the problems associated with using race to group individuals , assess risk , and inform patient care . Finally , it discusses how certain components of personalized medicine , such as genetic testing , Electronic Health Records , and Rapid Learning Systems could help address some of the concerns that arise from the application of race in a health care setting . |
