culture has produced a co-existence based on a
forced, cultural foundation which is filled with
The pursuit of culturally competent health care has be
come a business imperative because of the unprecedented influx of minori
ties into the Las Vegas Valley and the State. Each diverse group brings
their own social infrastructure and language into the community and they
have chosen this geographic area. Therefore, it appears more likely they
will be assimilated within a couple of generations if a cross cultural frame
work can be built.
Goals and-
I Standards
♦ To alert health care organizations and individu
als of the journey they must travel in developing the
attitudes, behaviors, structures, services and policies nec
essary for effective culturally competent standards which
insure all patients/consumers receive from all staff mem
bers, effective, understandable, and respectful care that is pro
vided in a manner comparable with their cultural health beliefs and
practices and preferred language.
♦ Promote culturally competent health care services by presenting to all
levels of staff and across all disciplines ongoing education and train
ing in culturally and linguistically appropriate service delivery.
♦ To remind health care organizations they should implement strategies
to recruit, retain, and promote at all levels of the organization a di
verse staff and leadership that are representative of the demographic
char- acteristics of the service area.
At the completion of this conference, the partici
pants will be able to define culture and cultural compe
tency.
Identify, obtain, and utilize culturally sensitive and
relevant health education materials.
