NDIANAPOLIS — A panel of six national and local health care experts have completed an external review of the case of Dr. Susan Moore, who died from COVID-19 in December 2020 after she said IU Health doctors provided inadequate care because she was a Black woman.
After reviewing medical records, interviewing personnel and going over policies and procedures, the review panel found the medical care Moore received did not contribute to her death, but there was a lack of compassion and empathy in her care. The panel also noted not all health care providers practiced cultural competency and lacked awareness of their implicit biases.

The increasing diversity of the nation brings opportunities and challenges for health care providers, health care systems, and policy makers to create and deliver culturally competent services. Cultural competence is defined as the ability of providers and organizations to effectively deliver health care services that meet the social, cultural, and linguistic needs of patients.(1) A culturally competent health care system can help improve health outcomes and quality of care, and can contribute to the elimination of racial and ethnic health disparities. Examples of strategies to move the health care system towards these goals include providing relevant training on cultural competence and cross-cultural issues to health professionals and creating policies that reduce administrative and linguistic barriers to patient care.
Racial and ethnic minorities are disproportionately burdened by chronic illness
