This book was released on 2012-11-05 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Major changes are occurring in the United States population and the nation's health care institutions and delivery systems. Significant disparities in health status exist across population groups. But the health care enterprise, with all its integrated and disparate parts, has been slow to respond. Written by three nationally known scholars and experts, Diversity and Cultural Competence in Health Care: A Systems Approach is designed to provide health care students and professionals with a clear understanding of foundations, philosophies, and processes that strengthen diversity management, inclusion, and culturally competent care delivery. Focusing on current practice and health care policy, including the recently passed Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA), this textbook integrates strategic diversity management, self-reflective leadership, and the personal change process with culturally and linguistically appropriate care into a cohesive systems-oriented approach for health care professionals. The essentials of cultural competence and diversity management covered in this text will be helpful to a wide variety of students because they encompass principles and practices that can be realistically incorporated into the ongoing work of any health care field or organization. Each chapter contains learning objectives, summary, key terms, and review questions and activities designed to allow students to understand and explore concepts and practices identified throughout the text.

Download or read book Cultural Competency of Health Care Providers and Patient Satisfaction in the American Indian Community written by Mary C. Madrigal Sandoval and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenges in the delivery of health care services to American Indian people includes the recognition of the importance of cultural competency training as a part of the educational programs of study for each health care provider. The acquisition of cultural competency potentially could increase a health care provider’s ability and openness to engage American Indian patients, increase quality of health care and positive outcomes, and reduce health disparities. It is important as a survival strategy for American Indian people to ask for health care providers to acculturate to the American Indian culture. A non-experimental, cross-sectional, correlational study will be conducted to explore the health care providers awareness of American Indian culture and patient satisfaction with cultural competence of health care providers for American Indian patients of the Indian Health Clinics in southern California. Research study outcomes could be useful to other American Indian patients of Indian Health Clinics throughout the United States. A convenience sample of health care providers and American Indian patients will be recruited at Indian Health Clinics for research to study this topic. Data will be analyzed using descriptive statics and correlations. Finding will be disseminated widely to inform the practice of health care providers caring for American Indian people.

Download or read book An Examination of Culturally Competent Health Care for American Indians in California written by Mark Daniel LeBeau and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: OBJECTIVES: Significant health and health care disparities of American Indians (AIs) have been well documented. Implementing cultural competency programming into the health care setting has been shown to be an effective method to address these disparities. Through a detailed review of the relevant literature, the researcher described definitions and methods of cultural competence, historical and contemporary experiences of AIs in California that contribute to their below the standard health status, and frameworks for establishing systems and services to address the disparities. METHODS: The researcher reviewed academic, organizational and government publications concentrating on the historical and contemporary experiences of AIs in the U.S., with emphasis in California; the health care system obstacles impeding racial and ethnic populations' access to adequate health care; cultural competence and other interventions that address the obstacles to care. He also examined the data of the few studies that identify information to include in cultural competency programming in the region for AIs. The researcher has extensive experience working in the field of AI health care and has served Tribal communities in this capacity for 13 years. Work in this field coupled with the researcher's life-long learning of traditional knowledge from traditional knowledge holders contribute to information in this paper. RESULTS: Definitions and methods of cultural competency, relevant experiences of AIs in California contributing to their health disparities, cultural components and other strategies to address the disparities were researched, identified, examined and described. Health care obstacles to care were identified at the National, State, County and clinical levels. A framework of AI cultural competence interventions surfaced, including development of culturally-appropriate health care services, health care provider training on relevant cross-cultural issues and culturally-appropriate community capacity enhancement strategies. These and other strategies can assist in remedying AI health disparities in California. CONCLUSIONS: Demographic changes of the AI population over the next 10 to 15 years and persistent low health status of this group underscore the need to remedy AI health disparities. Incorporation and maintenance of culturally competent systemic and clinical programming can improve care for this population and reduce these disparities.

Book excerpt: The aging and evolving racial and ethnic composition of the U.S. population has the United States in the midst of a profound demographic shift and health care organizations face many issues as they move to address and adapt to this change. In their drive to adequately serve increasingly diverse communities, health care organizations are searching for approaches that will enable them to provide information and service to all persons, regardless of age, race, cultural background, or language skills, in a manner that facilitates understanding and use of that information to make appropriate health decisions. To better understand how the dynamic forces operating in health care today impact the delivery of services in a way that is health literate, culturally competent, and in an appropriate language for patients and their families, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine conducted a public workshop on the integration of health literacy, cultural competency, and language access services. Participants discussed skills and competencies needed for effective health communication, including health literacy, cultural competency, and language access services; interventions and strategies for integration; and differing perspectives such as providers and systems, patients and families, communities, and payers. This report summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.

Download or read book Cultural Competency in Health Social Human Services written by Pedro J. Lecca and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural competency is an issue that is becoming increasingly more important as thousands of people come to this country every year. Because of widely different social mores, living conditions, traditions, personal beliefs, and practices of clients, health professionals in all specialties are finding it difficult to communicate effectively with the members of the diverse racial and ethnic groups that come to them for help. To give health and human services professionals the necessary training, material on cultural competency has been mandated in several different curricula, yet appropriate pedagogical material remains relatively rare. This pioneering volume presents the latest information and techniques for improving cultural competency in the delivery of health, social, and human services to ethnic and racial minority groups in the United States. Special attention is paid to the importance of understanding the social and culture backgrounds of clients when assessing diagnosis of policy and economic issues, which are rarely examined in this context. Notable for its combination of theory and practice, which will be invaluable for both professionals and students, this book also includes material on cultural competency within such special populations as the mentally ill, the elderly, children, and families.
