Research on decision-making reveals that when individuals are highly aware of their decision-making process, they can see how non-determinant data influences their thinking. This awareness improves healthcare decision-making by teaching practitioners to develop a more extensive set of choices to reach their intended outcomes.
Experiential learning is integral to the workshop and the participant’s learning experience. This session includes simulated experiences that transform participant behaviors through awareness. The experiential learning model builds insights by having participants do the actions in a training space that reduces biases in decision-making. Participants have many opportunities to experience their unconscious bias and priming bias directly.
Nurse Learner Outcome: At the conclusion of this session, participants will self-report a knowledge gain of the appropriate use of collaborative communication skills to reduce bias and increase trust and satisfaction.
Learner Objectives:
- Describe how priming bias works.
- Examine how bias can affect their choices in healthcare delivery.
- Conduct a personal social network analysis.
- Develop new practices and skills to minimize bias in healthcare delivery decisions.
