HIGHLIGHTSMany algorithms used in health care decisions have the potential to create or perpetuate health care disparities between people identifying as non-Hispanic White and persons of color. By continually revising inputs and reviewing outputs of multiple iterations, the authors developed an algorithm that demonstrated racial and ethnic parity in selecting persons experiencing homelessness and chronic health problems who were eligible to receive coordinated health care and housing supports.
