Abstract

The study of precision medicine that measures the effects of social, cultural, and environmental influences on health is essential to improve health outcomes. Race is a social concept used historically to divide, track, control populations, and reinforce social hierarchies. Beyond genetics, race is also a surrogate for other socioeconomic factors affecting patient outcomes. Our data analytics study aims to analyze the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) to study patients of different races in diagnosing and treating Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). We found no race discrepancies at the University of California San Francisco Medical Centers. This study opens several new hypotheses for further research in this crucial field.
