Cultural Competency in Healthcare

The National CLAS standards are designed to improve health fairness, advance

quality, and aid eradicate health care inequalities by creating a plan for health and health care

institutions. My peers and I use these standards in our nursing practice areas in many

different ways, such as we use the principle of governance, leadership, and workforce to

improve and maintain institutional management and leadership that promote health fairness

through strategy, practices, and assigned resources. It is essential to promote equity in health

care to ensure that all society members have access to quality healthcare services (Think

Cultural Health, 2020). We use the communication and language assistance principle to

provide language support to people who have limited English proficiency or other

communication challenges to improve their access to all health care and services. We also use

the communication and language assistance principle by offering simple print and multimedia

materials in languages commonly used by the local community.

We use the engagement, continuous improvement, and accountability principle to

create culturally and linguistically applicable policies, goals, and management responsibility

and unite them throughout its preparation and operation. We also use the engagement,

continuous improvement, and accountability principle to gather and uphold correct and

consistent population information to monitor and assess the impacts of CLAS on health

equity and results and to improve service delivery (Gendron, Maddux, Krinsky, White,

Lockeman, Metcalfe & Aggarwal, 2013). We may incorporate cultural competency training

to enhance cultural competence in our organization. Cultural competence training aims at

equipping healthcare professionals with skills and knowledge that value diversity,

understand, and address cultural differences. It improves awareness of healthcare providers

and the institution's cultural norms. Training can offer facts about patient cultures and more

complex interventions like intercultural communication skills.
