Abstract
- The article focuses on the presence of implicit bias in medical records and its impact on the care received by Black patients. Topics include research revealing that doctors tend to use negative language when describing Black patients in their notes, leading to potential disparities in treatment. It also discusses efforts to address and mitigate this bias through interventions like using algorithms to identify stigmatizing language and increasing awareness among clinicians.
