Inclusive Language in Clinical Outcome AssessmentsHealthcare providers should tailor the language used in COAs to reflect each patient’s gender identity. In grammatically gendered languages, the practice includes making appropriate linguistic adjustments to ensure communication is respectful and inclusive throughout the assessment process. |
