Required reading for all learners: Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes
The number of patients who have experienced violence is increasing worldwide. These patients have specific psychosocial and forensic needs and can present unique challenges to the health care workers caring for them. Themes from literature reviews emerged identifying patients as survivors of intimate partner violence or child abuse, the need to collect forensic evidence, the need for emotional support of patients and their loved ones, support for health care workers caring for violence survivors, prevention of further violence, and the challenges of caring for violence survivors with concurrent substance use disorders. Best practices for these aspects of care are summarized on the basis of literature analysis.Learners must complete the entire activity and the associated evaluation AND read Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes. No partial credit will be awarded.
