| Summary |
While America continues to become a more culturally diverse country with new immigrants arriving and those already here raising families, healthcare providers in the United States still largely come from a white, non-Hispanic background -- almost 82%. Unfamiliar languages, beliefs, cultural practices, eating habits, etc., all present potential obstacles to the nurse providing care. This program examines the standards that the federal government has set up to require culturally and linguistically appropriate care called the CLAS Standards and show how they relate to similar standards of the Joint Commission. After completing this course, the learner should be able to: " Explain the importance of providing culturally and linguistically appropriate care." Describe the CLAS standards put forth by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services." Describe the 3 categories within the CLAS standards: Governance, Leadership and Workforce, Communication and Language Assistance, and Engagement, Continuous Improvement and Accountability." Explain how to establish and implement an action plan that recognizes and enforces the CLAS standards |
