From Health Affairs
Dear John,
As part of our kickoff for the February theme issue on Racism & Health,
we livestreamed an
event on LinkedIn where Georgetown University's Christopher King
highlighted how structural racism and historical events affect and
potentially disenfranchise Black residents in Washington, D.C.
A video recording of that event is now available
.
Racial Bias In EHRs
In an article in the February theme issue, Michael Sun and colleagues
examine potentially stigmatizing language in the electronic health
records
(EHRs) of patients seen at an urban academic medical center.
The authors find that Black patients had 2.54 times the adjusted odds of
having one or more negative descriptors, such as "non-adherent" and
"agitated," in the history and physical notes of their EHRs even
after adjusting for sociodemographic and health characteristics.
Furthermore, they report "Patients with Medicaid or Medicare insurance
had higher adjusted odds of a negative descriptor compared with patients
with private or employer-based insurance."
Listen to Sun discuss the research methods and the implications of the
findings on a recent episode of A Health Podyssey
.
Sun will also take audience questions about the article in the next
Health Affairs Journal Club
.
