Required reading for all learners: Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes
Patients critically ill with COVID-19 develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and may undergo prone positioning. Literature suggests that early prone positioning benefits oxygenation and mortality rates. Our 5-year retrospective medical record review found that fewer patients with ARDS received prone positioning before the COVID-19 pandemic than during the pandemic. The pandemic brought prone positioning procedures and evidence-based practice to the forefront of nursing skills.Learners must complete the entire activity and the associated evaluation AND read Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes.
