Second Opinion: How to change an American medical system that harms Black maternal health (via latimesopinion)
perpetuated against Black women and people by personnel in hospitals and health systems.
It measures how Black mothers and people feel as they navigate personnel, practices and policies across seven quality areas identified by Black mothers: safety, autonomy, communication, racism, empathy, humanity and dignity. Survey items also examine how well hospitals see, value and treat Black mothers and people as human beings, worthy of compassionate, culturally relevant, responsive and rigorous care, regardless of insurance status.
Black mothers and people also prioritized kinship ties, systems accountability and holistic care as mechanisms to shield them from hospital neglect, mistreatment and discrimination, without judgment or retaliation. The aim is to translate patient experiences into data as evidence of obstetric racism in the provision of perinatal care and services from hospital triage to discharge.
