| Description: |
Bias toward historically marginalized patients affects patient-provider interactions and can lead to lower quality of care and poor health outcomes for patients who are Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Gender Diverse (LGBTQ+). We gathered experiences with biased healthcare interactions and suggested solutions from 25 BIPOC and LGBTQ+ people. Through qualitative thematic analysis of interviews, we identified ten themes. Eight themes reflect the experience of bias: Transactional Care, Power Inequity, Communication Casualties, Bias-Embedded Medicine, System-level problems, Bigotry in Disguise, Fight or Flight, and The Aftermath. The remaining two themes reflect strategies for improving those experiences: Solutions and Good Experiences. Characterizing these themes and their interconnections is crucial to design effective informatics solutions that can address biases operating in clinical interactions with BIPOC and LGBTQ+ patients, improve the quality of patient-provider interactions, and ultimately promote health equity. |
