Institutional discrimination refers to the policies and practices of organizations and institutions, such as hospitals, that result in differential treatment of individuals based on their race or ethnicity. This can result in preferential treatment for certain groups, such as whites, and disadvantages for other groups. Prejudicial bias and individual bias refer more to personal beliefs and attitudes, while individual discrimination refers to actions taken by individuals rather than institutions.
