Pdf Summary
The Implementation Toolkit by the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) is designed to address and mitigate implicit bias in the intensive care unit (ICU). Implicit bias refers to automatic negative or positive perceptions towards groups based on factors such as race, gender, or socioeconomic status. In the ICU, implicit bias among clinicians can have adverse effects on patient care, such as disparities in pain medication prescriptions based on race. To address implicit bias, ICU clinicians need to recognize its existence and explore its effects on patient care. <br /><br />The toolkit emphasizes a multifaceted approach to addressing and mitigating implicit bias in critical care. It suggests fostering a culture of inclusivity and equity in ICUs by exploring diversity across different roles and prioritizing the mitigation of implicit bias. Implementing tools and training to address and mitigate implicit bias is also recommended. The toolkit provides resources such as literature on reducing implicit bias and tools like Project Implicit and Bias Rounds for addressing provider bias in healthcare. <br /><br />The SCCM also offers a webcast on mitigating implicit bias in diagnosing patients with sepsis. The toolkit emphasizes that addressing and mitigating implicit bias is crucial for providing equitable and high-quality care to all patients in the ICU. It is important for ICU clinicians to be aware of their own biases, especially when they are stressed or sleep deprived, as these conditions can worsen implicit biases. The toolkit is funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation through a grant program administered by the Council of Medical Specialty Societies.
