Required reading for all learners: Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes
This session evolves from an AACN Clinical Scene Investigator (CSI) Academy project analyzing patients at high risk for sacral pressure injuries. It reflects a collaborative effort by the CSI team to develop a protocol-based prevention including strategic gel pad placement under the sacrum to reduce injury risk and reinforced scheduled sacral pressure offloading. One-year postimplementation, better patient, staff and fiscal outcomes confirm this as an effective, collaborative template for expansion to other units.Learners must complete the entire activity and the associated evaluation to be awarded contact hours AND read Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes. No partial credit will be awarded.
