Radiology Health Equity Lab
Imaging & Therapy in the Management of Health Equity
Head: Joseph R. Osborne, MD, PhD
@radhealthequity
The Lab is founded with a series of NIH and Internal grants over the last decade from MSKCC and WCM to investigate 1) Access to affordable technology, 2) Improved communication and access, 3) Patient navigation.
The most recent Weill Cornell Medicine (WCM) IRB-approved study is the WCM catchment Prostate Cancer Health Impact Program (pCHIP) which is funded by the WCM Dean’s office. This project uses decision navigation (DNI) and shared decision making to guide African American and Hispanic/Latino patients at NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist and NewYork-Presbyterian Queens in their health care decisions after being diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. This project uses some of the same principles as the original project, CHIP, which was an NIH P30 funded MSKCC catchment project also headed by Dr. Osborne as Principal Investigator.
In the next series of studies, the Lab will expand it collaborations in the NewYork-Presbyterian enterprise, Cornell Center of Health Equity and public-private partnerships to include other cancers and modalities such as Breast Cancer and chronic diseases such as Cardiac Sarcoid. To investigate population health, the Radiology Health Equity Lab is positioned to be more proactive than observational in investigating other conditions which were a clear disparity exists and access has not been prioritized.
