(Providence, RI) -- Care New England announced that it has been selected as part of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Health Equity Initiative, a $60 million commitment supporting organizations developing solutions to advance health equity.
The support from AWS will advance Care New England’s efforts to create an internal and public-facing “dashboard” of the social drivers of health facing our primary care populations.
“Our goal is to summarize the Social Drivers of Health (SDoH) data collected in CNE/Integra primary care setting, provide analyses relevant to community stakeholders, and make a select dataset available to internal partners and the public in support of efforts to improve SDoH conditions in Rhode Island,” said Dr. Joseph Diaz, MPH, FACP, Chief Health Equity Officer at Care New England & Associate Dean, Office of Belonging, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion, The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University.
Through the AWS Health Equity Initiative, Care New England looks forward to using the power of cloud computing to advance health equity and improve health outcomes. To learn more about the AWS initiative, visit https://aws.amazon.com/health/health-equity.
