#AllHuesMatter: Health Disparities Perpetuated Through Clinical Decision
Health disparities related to skin assessment biases woven into Clinical Decision Support Tools (CDSTs), are a complex and sensitive topic that can impact patients with darkly pigmented skin. Research affirms that normative descriptive words such as, red, blue, pink, blanch or pale, during the skin assessment of darkly pigmented patients, results in inappropriate diagnoses leading to poorer health outcomes.
Through this session, participants will gain an understanding of how biases embedded in CDSTs can adversely impact disparities for darkly pigmented patients and learn about interventions implemented to mitigate these biases.
