Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Providers in the intervention are will be instructed to watch a brief set of freely available educational lessons and then they will meet with study team members to discuss their "individuation" countermeasure intervention. Providers will be given a choice of several individuation-related questions to better understand the unique characteristics of each patient. Once the provider decides on his/her choice phrases, the research team will assist with the development of a smart phrase (also called "dot phrase") to allow them to incorporate this into a note. Once a week, providers in the intervention arm will receive an email reminding them to incorporate this question and the documentation into their encounters.
Providers in the comparator arm will be given the same implicit bias educational modules to complete.
