The AMIA Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee and Subcommittees develop, promote, and guide the implementation of strategic and operational goals related to enhancing diversity, equity, and inclusion. The DEI Committee engages in such activities with specific attention to AMIA’s mission and its intersection with systemic racism and health equity. There is a natural intersection with health equity that enables the identification and tracking of disparities in health and healthcare as well as the design, implementation, and evaluation of informatics-enabled interventions at the micro-, meso-, and macro-levels.
