Topics include the risks of culturally insensitive care, the relationship between patient-centered care and culturally sensitive care, and specific culture-sensitive patient-centered care strategies.

1. Importance of Patient-Centered Care for Culturally Diverse Patients

Chapter 1 explains why all patients are culturally diverse and how patient outcomes can improve with culture-sensitive, patient-centered care. It discusses what we know about disparities in home health care and the multiple reasons they occur, including language barriers and implicit bias.

2. Foundational Strategies for Providing Patient-Centered Care

Chapter 2 identifies strategies that help all patients—especially minority patients—achieve better health outcomes. Topics include information about and ways to promote culturally sensitive and patient-centered attitudes, therapeutic relationships, and care. When and how to use interpreters and translated resources is also covered.

3. Patient-Centered Skills

Chapter 3 focuses on how clinicians can develop their assessment and care planning skills so that they are patient centered and culturally sensitive. Clinicians will learn interview topics and strategies that will help them uncover patients’ unique care needs and preferences. Clinicians will also learn how to use cultural data to develop patient-centered care plans that meet patients’ hopes and expectations for care and their own professional standards.
