Bias can significantly impact neonatal outcomes. Here are some ways it manifests:
- Disparities in Diagnosis: Babies from marginalized communities may be less likely to receive timely and accurate diagnoses due to implicit bias. - Variations in Treatment: Differences in treatment plans and interventions can occur, potentially leading to poorer health outcomes for some neonates. - Access to Care: Bias can affect the availability and accessibility of healthcare services, leading to inequities in neonatal care.
