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.

Build organizational and clinical skills to deliver equitable care to diverse populations The second edition of Cultural Competence in Health Care: A Systems Approach presents the growing evidence base for a systems approach to cultural competence and strategic diversity management in health care and explains how health care professionals and organizations can use that knowledge to ensure that every patient receives high-quality, safe, and cost-effective personalized health care. The impact of race and ethnicity, gender and gender identity, sexual orientation, age, language, socioeconomic status, and religion on health and health care are discussed. Despite the current challenges, private sector organizations that accredit health care providers, health plans, and educational programs in medicine, nursing, and allied health continue to affirm the need for cultural competence through their accreditation criteria. Voluntary health care professional associations continue to provide membership with support, encouragement, and resources for the delivery of culturally and linguistically competent health care. And health care providers strive every day to deliver personalized care and work diligently to improve their patients' health by delivering health care in a manner that is respectful of each patient's needs and preferences. Written by the same three nationally known scholars and experts as the first edition, the second edition presents principles and practices that can be realistically incorporated into the ongoing work of any health care provider or organization. Each chapter contains learning objectives, summary, key terms, and review questions and activities designed to allow the reader to explore, analyze, and apply concepts and practices identified throughout the text.
