CONTENT AREA- PATIENT SAFETY
How much do we really know about our patients? Many established practices in healthcare are based on certain assumptions about the clinical appearance of a “normal” patient. But what does “normal” really look like? When does a population become large enough that “normal” no longer has practical meaning? More importantly, should that affect how we handle diagnosis and treatment and if so, how? This session will take a look at how assumptions about normalcy came to be, recent research that casts doubt on some of these assumptions, and how we can all better advocate for our patients to improve their safety and their outcomes.
