Ensuring that learners have the skills to compose effective clinical documentation is a core responsibility of all medical educators. There is a robust literature describing that the language used in medical documentation has the power to transmit conscious and unconscious biases and impact patient care. Stigmatizing language is widespread in inpatient medical documentation and is more likely to be found in the medical records of patients who are black, have public insurance, and who have certain stigmatized conditions such as substance use disorders.
When documentation contains stigmatizing language, it impacts readers’ attitudes and behaviors towards patients. Many clinician educators do not have a toolbox for identifying and modifying potentially problematic language in their documentation or training others to do so. In this webinar, presenters will provide a foundation in best practices for using patient centered language and practical tools for coaching learners in these skills.
