[ORDER SOLUTION] Healthcare Cultural Competence
ScenarioYou work as manager at Blue River Hospital. You manage a team of 10 patient representatives who interact with patients on a daily basis, helping answer general patient questions, assisting patients through the admissions process, and discussing billing and payment options. This hospital is located in a racially diverse, urban community with a large number of immigrants. The poverty rate is high in the community, and many individuals do not have insurance.Recently you received feedback that patient satisfaction rates with the hospital are low, and patients pointed specifically to not feeling welcome at the hospital, not having language services in place, and not feeling understood and respected by the hospital staff. To address these concerns, all managers in the organization have been asked to train their staff on culturally competent behaviors. You have decided to create a training presentation to ensure you can clearly communicate the information. In addition to explaining cultural competence, you will also provide real-world examples of how culturally competent behaviors can improve the quality of patient care and the overall healthcare organization.DirectionsYou are developing a training presentation to train your staff on culturally competent behaviors. In your presentation, you will explain the importance of cultural competence to the field of healthcare and the impact of health disparities. In addition, you will explain the impact of social determinants of health and develop a real-world scenario that both illustrates how a health disparity can impact health and how the healthcare organization should effectively respond. Finally, you will develop a real-world scenario that illustrates the problems a healthcare organization might face if it does not promote culturally competent practices. Introduction to Cultural Competence: To begin, set the stage for your trainees by explaining the overall importance of cultural competence to healthcare.o Define cultural competence, and explain its overall importance to the field of healthcare. In your explanation, you might consider the following: How does the diverse landscape of the United States impact the healthcare field? What is the difference between cultural competence and diversity?o Define health disparities, and explain the impact of the health disparities on population health. Consider the following: How do health disparities impact quality and access to care for specific populations? How do health disparities impact the burden of disease for a specific community, an individual, or overall health? Cultural Competence and the Delivery of Patient Care: Now that you have provided an overview of cultural competence, it is essential that the trainees learn about the factors that may impact the quality of care and overall health for an individual or community. In the delivery of patient care, providers and staff must be on the lookout for these factors and reflect on the impact of these factors on patients.o Describe the five key social determinant areas.o Select two of the key social determinant areas and provide a specific example for how their interaction might impact an individuals quality of care and overall health.o Create a real-world scenario that illustrates how a specific social determinant of health may become a health disparity for an individual or community, and explain how a culturally competent healthcare organization might effectively respond to the scenario. Tip: To begin, first choose a specific social determinant of health to focus your scenario on. For example, you might choose economic stability. Then, imagine a time when this determinant could negatively impact a healthcare experience. Write a specific narrative about this instance, as well as an explanation for how a healthcare organization might respond to the scenario in a way that demonstrates sensitivity to various perspectives and differences. Cultural Competence and the Healthcare Organization: In addition to impacting the delivery of patient care, culturally competent behaviors can impact the overall healthcare organization. All employees have a responsibility to promote cultural competence in the organization and thereby promote the reputation of the organization in the community and with stakeholders. You will explain this value to trainees and describe a strategy the organization might employ to demonstrate its cultural competence.o Explain how culturally competent practices positively impact the overall healthcare organization. For example, how might this impact patient satisfaction or employee engagement with patients and staff? How can this benefit the overall perception of the organization and the quality of its care?o Create a real-world scenario that illustrates the problems a healthcare organization may face if its staff does not have a high degree of cultural competency, and explain the actions a healthcare organization might take to ensure it can respond to the scenario in a more culturally competent manner. Tip: To begin, first brainstorm problems that might occur if a healthcare organization does not have a high degree of cultural competence. Select a specific problem and write a narrative about this situation. For example, you might consider how a lack of language translation might impact a healthcare organization. Then explain how a healthcare organization might ensure it can respond to the scenario in a way that demonstrates sensitivity to various perspectives and differences.What to SubmitEvery project has a deliverable or deliverables, which are the files that must be submitted before your project can be assessed. For this project, you must submit the following:Cultural Competence Training PresentationPromote the role of cultural competence in a healthcare organization by training staff on the importance of cultural competence, explaining the impact of health disparities and social determinants of health, and providing real-world scenarios that illustrate how culturally competent behaviors can improve the quality of patient care and the overall healthcare organization. PowerPoint Presentation—–Your presentation must be 5 to 8 slides in length, include speaker notes, and cite any references appropriatelyRubric Criteria (Please edit/updated the NOT MASTERED items)1. Describes the five key social determinant areas NOT MASTERED***Criterion Feedback03/01/2021: You have done a good job of correctly identifying ‘education’ and ‘economic stability.’ While there are many social determinant areas, we are looking for five specific ones here. Please identify the other three key social determinant areas and include a definition for each. Please refer to the Project Resource “Reading: Social Determinants of Health.”2.

Consider describing how ‘education’ and ‘economic stability’ can work together to increase or decrease a person’s health and quality of care. Please refer to the Project Resource “Video: Social Determinants of Health: An Introduction (6:27).”4. Creates a real-world scenario illustrating problems a healthcare organization faces if staff does not have a high degree of cultural competency, explaining actions an organization may take to ensure a more culturally competent response to the scenario***Criterion Feedback NOT MASTERED03/01/2021: You have a good start on slide #6 by discussing multiple actions an organization can take to ensure a more culturally competent response to the scenario. Consider including an introduction where you share an example of problems the healthcare organization faces if the staff is not culturally competent.
