GUMBO Lagniappe 20 - Unconscious Bias in Healthcare

Unconscious Bias in Healthcare Written by Megan Bedford Retrieved from https://www.qualityinteractions.com/blog/unconscious-bias-in-healthcare   A patient should not expect to receive a lower standard of care because of her race, age or any other irrelevant characteristic. However, implicit associations (unconscious, uncontrollable, or arational processes) may influence our judgements resulting in bias. Implicit biases occur between a group or category attribute, such as being black, and a negative evaluation (implicit prejudice) or another category attribute, such as being violent (implicit stereotype) References: Bedford, M.
