Cultural Competency: A Key Component of Quality Home Health and Hospice Care is proudly presented to you by National Association for Home Care & Hospice. Thank you. We hope that you enjoy your course.
Culture and health go together! Culturally competent organizations, leaders, and clinicians know the importance of individual values and preferences in building an inclusive workplace and meeting the unique needs of patients and families. Cultural competency is not just a nice addition to home health care and hospice. Instead, it is a critical component with deep economic implications. So agencies must know how to tailor their care to patients’ social and ethnic traditions. Get the communication skills you need to bridge cultural divisions and disparities in health so you can get optimal results. They say that demography is destiny. And the destiny of your agency may depend on how you serve an increasingly diverse patient population.
