Blind spots: Biases in prehospital race and ethnicity recording
CONCLUSIONS: When compared to data after the implementation of mandated race and ethnicity fields, missing race and ethnicity data were found to be more common in patients of color, younger patients, males, and those transported non-emergently. Inconsistent completion of race and ethnicity documentation may lead to a poor understanding of equity issues within a system, suggesting a need for mandatory race and ethnicity fields.PMID:36735657 | DOI:10.1080/10903127.2023.2175089
