New guide from JCR helps staff understand how to provide sensitive care for diverse patient populations
“Toward Health Care Equity: Sensitive Care for a Diverse Patient Population” — a new guide available from Joint Commission Resources — provides basic knowledge and awareness about the myriad ways in which patients are diverse to help healthcare providers strengthen the connection between healthcare equity and quality health care. The first step toward providing equitable health care is to develop cultural sensitivity.
The guide is offered as an e-book site license so that all staff in a healthcare organization can easily and cost-effectively learn how to provide equitable healthcare. It focuses on aspects of diversity that go beyond ethnicity, race, culture, and religion, and covers sexual orientation, gender identity, generational/age-related needs, disabilities, and more.
This educational resource for staff offers succinct, helpful information to improve patient-provider communication and move toward healthcare equity for all patients.
