Harness network science to reduce treatment resource disparities and social disadvantage This project aims to study how the patients’ social determinants and structural factors impact the functionality of the patient-physician network. Analyzing the ability of the patient- physician network to maintain an acceptable level in the face of COVID-19, the project would reveal how the pandemic exaggerated resource disparities, for example, in sex-gender and race; foresee the intensity and quality of healthcare in the public health system; and provide insights for dynamical physician allocation to combat and exit for future disease outbreaks.
