Addressing Cultural Competence in Health Care

Abstract
A recent editorial in the Journal of the American Medical Association suggests that miscommunication due to language barriers with Spanish, the most common non-English language spoken in the US, lead to substandard health care. For many individuals with limited English proficiency, inability to communicate in English is the primary barrier to accessing health information and services. With escalating concerns about ethnic disparities in health and the need for health care systems to accommodate ...increasingly diverse patient populations, cultural competence has become a matter of national concern.
Numerous governmental, health policy and regulatory agencies now recognize cultural competence as an essential element to improve patients' health status, provide access to appropriate health care services, and eliminate disparities in health care delivery. In 2005, New Jersey became the first state to require cultural competency training for physicians as a stipulation of re-licensure. Legislative mandates in health care have more recently been passed in California, Maryland, New Mexico and Washington, with more states likely to follow suit in the near future.Given the significant cultural and linguistic dimensions associated with providing care for patients of diverse backgrounds, health care professionals are increasingly challenged to provide culturally effective and appropriate care.
This educational activity focuses on increasing awareness of cultural and linguistic barriers that can occur during interactions between health care providers and patients of diverse backgrounds, and enables providers to overcome those barriers to provide culturally effective and appropriate health care.
