General Session: Culturally Responsive Care

Applying new cultural approaches to improve the quality of care for diverse patient populations

Cultural competence strives to improve communication and interactions during cross-cultural situations, with the promise of increasing quality of care and health equity. The issue with how healthcare cultural competence is usually taught is that it is reduced to a list of dos and don'ts to model how to care for diverse patients.

However, these lists reinforce biases, disregard intersectionality, and hinder learning with patients. Research demonstrates historical and current examples of bias, discrimination, and racism in health care and their negative impact on patients. When we accept that the health care system doesn’t always work equally or equitably for everyone, we can begin to increase our understanding of diverse patient populations and respond accordingly.
