Video Summary
The presentation addresses racial disparities in pain management within healthcare, emphasizing systemic bias and its impact. Historically, racial biases, dating back to the 19th century, persist, such as misconceptions about black patients having thicker skin, which influence clinical responses and outcomes. Research indicates that despite similar pain experiences across racial lines, black and other minority patients often receive inadequate pain treatment. Studies reveal that biases in pain assessment tools and treatment, like prioritizing white, English-speaking patients for opioid treatment, result in poorer care for minorities and those with limited English proficiency. The speaker advocates for systemic change, emphasizing the development of inclusive healthcare policies, implicit bias training, and community engagement to foster trust and improve outcomes. Emphasizing diversity and honest dialogue, healthcare providers should adopt evidence-based, patient-centered approaches and actively participate in diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.
