Time shown in-04:00 America, New York

Laura Guidry-Grimes, PhD
Assistant Professor of Medical Humanities and Bioethics
University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences

Donald N. Medearis Jr. Lecture / Pediatric Ethics Grands Rounds

Abstract: The medical chart documents a particular story about the patient and their parent(s)/guardian(s), and the chart note author makes numerous decisions and value judgments in the process of prioritizing (and deprioritizing) certain information and choosing some language over others. The chart note is a powerful communication tool, and especially since the 21st Century Cures Act, it has important implications for the therapeutic relationship with the patient and their parents. This talk offers insights and techniques for minimizing bias, addressing patient vulnerability, and building a stronger therapeutic alliance through chart noting.
