An external review has concluded that racial bias as well as lack of empathy and compassion were present in the care of Black physician Susan Moore, MD, who died of COVID-19 at an Indiana University (IU) Health hospital in December 2020. We owe it to our patients to always show up for them, to treat them with dignity and respect, to appreciate their perspectives, and to validate their feelings when they are in our care. We did not live up to these values with Dr. Moore and acknowledge that we have more to do to become a more diverse, inclusive and anti-racist health system, IU Health CEO Dennis Murphy said in a statement released on Wednesday.
Review: IU Health Workers “Lacked Awareness of Racial Bias” In Care Of Indy Doctor
CARMEL, Ind. The findings of an external review of the case of an Indianapolis doctor who claimed she was mistreated and delayed proper care at a Carmel hospital because of her race show there was a lack of empathy and compassion given by caregivers.
Before dying of COVID-19, Dr. Susan Moore documented her experience at IU Health North Hospital in a 7-minute video Dec. 4 on Facebook. She also added written comments about the timeline of events in the post.
As a result of Moore’s claims, Dennis Murphy, IU Health’s president and chief executive officer, called for an external review of the case. He released those findings on Wednesday.
