How Do Healthcare Professionals' Biases Affect Diagnosis?
Healthcare professionals may have inherent biases that impact their assessment of neonatal disorders. For instance, a clinician's previous experiences, cultural background, and even their level of training can shape how they interpret symptoms. These biases can result in either overdiagnosis or underdiagnosis of conditions like neonatal jaundice or neonatal sepsis. Regular training and awareness programs can help mitigate these biases.
