Implicit Bias Training Helps Eliminate Healthcare Disparities
From hospitals and clinics to data warehousing companies, overcoming implicit biases with the help of up-to-date data can improve patient care and team member equity. Allina Health and Health Catalyst used data to discover that implicit biases existed within their companies.
At Allina Health, these implicit biases proved to be a barrier to patient care. They negatively impacted patient access to important resources like hospice care. At Health Catalyst, the leadership team realized there was a lack of women in leadership positions and a general lack of diversity in the technology sector.
Leadership teams at both organizations invested in creating implicit bias trainings to equip team members with tools to overcome their biases.
