In April 2024, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine hosted a public workshop that examined how health disparities faced by individuals in the U.S. are shown in their medical record and the implications for social security disability determinations. The discussions from this workshop resulted in the publication of
“Health Disparities in the Medical Record and Disability Determinations.” AAPM&R Board Secretary, Amy Houtrow, MD, PhD, MPH, FAAPMR, is the co-chair of the Planning Committee who conducted this workshop.
