Content DescriptionIn a world becoming more conscious than ever of our differences from each other, we need to continue to put the care in health care. That means health care providers must understand and respect those differences to provide truly equitable health care for all patients. To move toward health care equity, then, is to proactively establish, reinforce, and maintain policies, practices, attitudes, and actions that produce equitable care, access, opportunities, treatment, impacts, and health outcomes. The first step toward providing equitable care is to develop cultural sensitivity or the ability to deliver culturally relevant care. Toward Health Care Equity: Sensitive Care for a Diverse Patient Population aims to help health care providers learn more about the diverse populations they serve. With learning comes awareness and, hopefully, understanding, respect, sensitivity, and equitable care for every patient. The purpose of this guide is to provide health care professionals with some basic knowledge and awareness about the myriad ways in which their patients are diverse. This guide also encourages health care providers to recognize and address their own and systemic health care biases and to reject assumptions or stereotypes about individuals or groups. Toward Health Care Equity: Sensitive Care for a Diverse Patient Population builds on the Third Expanded Edition of Cultural and Religious Sensitivity: A Pocket Guide for Health Care Professionals authored by Geri-Ann Galanti and published by Joint Commission Resources in 2018. Indeed, the world has changed tremendously since its publication five years ago, with its heightened awareness of human diversity and health care disparities. With that awareness has come a new and/or renewed energy toward health care equity. Therefore, this current guide is retitled to focus on the crucial need to move toward health care equity, which reflects The Joint Commission’s own prioritization of this need.About Joint CommissionThe mission of The Joint Commission is to continuously improve health care for the public, in collaboration with other stakeholders, by evaluating health care organizations and inspiring them to excel in providing safe and effective care of the highest quality and value. Its vision is that all people always experience the safest, highest quality, best-value health care across all settings. |
