The Health Quality & Safety Commission has developed this course about understanding bias in health care. Having biases toward particular groups or individuals can affect their health as they may not get the proactive health care they need.
Three video learning modules on bias have been developed for people working in the health care sector who engage directly with consumers or who influence the way health organisations are managed.
Module one: Understanding and addressing implicit bias
Module two: Te Tiriti o Waitangi, colonisation and racism
Module three: Experiences of bias.
The modules are an introduction to bias in health care. They encourage health professionals to examine their biases and how they affect the health care they provide, their interactions with consumers, and therefore their health outcomes.
It should take about one hour to complete the videos and the test. When you have, you can get a certificate as proof of your learning for professional development purposes.
