Emergencies and disasters can strike quickly and without warning, forcing people to quickly leave or be confined in their home unexpectedly. For the millions of Americans who have disabilities, emergencies, such as fires, floods, and acts of terrorism, present a real challenge. Health centers play a critical role in providing continuity of care to support patients with disabilities before, during, and after natural and man-made disasters in their communities. This learning collaborative is designed to help health centers work with people with disabilities to create customized emergency preparedness kits and plans.
Improving Cultural Competency for Behavioral Health Professionals 2022
In this learning collaborative we presented cultural competency as a data-driven method to improve patient care and health center performance in multiple domains through responsible application of scientifically validated tools and processes. Throughout the collaborative we took a detailed look at key concepts regarding culture as a SDOH. This includes an overview of the literature and key developments in the field. Additionally, we engaged in a collective and reflective approach of cultural competency as it pertains to clinical practice to develop our understanding of both our patient’s and our own cultural background. Finally, critically inspected and reviewed validated screening tools, explored their practical application in difficult situations and put them into action with volunteer patient actors.
