M Health Fairview says it’s found a way to help eliminate racial and ethnic bias in pregnancy and delivery care by removing race as a factor for various screenings and tests related to pregnancy.
By July, all pregnant patients at M Health Fairview will be universally screened for various maternal and fetal conditions. That includes diseases that are usually prominent in a certain racial group, like sickle cell disease or spina bifida.
The goal is to make sure no patient gets missed for diseases that may normally only be screened for people of certain backgrounds.
Melissa Hassler, the director of nurse midwives at M Health Fairview, joined Minnesota Now to talk about the changes.
