Duke Health’s Collaborative to Advance Clinical Health Equity (CACHE) is a community-driven initiative that is harnessing the power of data science to identify and eliminate disparities in healthcare. CACHE uses health equity as a new lens for understanding quality in patient experiences and outcomes.

Racial inequity in healthcare results from the interactions between healthcare delivery systems and the communities they serve. Duke owns the issue of healthcare disparities by looking in the mirror of our clinical outcomes to address the root causes of health disparities.

The CACHE model relies on partnerships at Duke Health and across the Durham community to define disparities in outcomes. Then, by leveraging data analytics, predictive modelling, and machine learning, CACHE measures conditions of interest and identifies ways to improve care delivery.

We believe that Duke Health, in partnership with the patients, families, and communities we serve, is poised to harness these data assets to identify and eliminate disparities in health outcomes.
