Cultural Competency Organizational Assessment and Solutions

Scenario: Cross, Bazron, Dennis and Isaacs (1989) defined cultural competence as “a set of congruent behaviors, attitudes and policies that come together as a system, that system, agency or those professionals to work effectively in cross-cultural situations”. Cultural Competency is vital to sustainability of a health care organization and the ability to provide high quality health care to the community in which serves. Cultural competency consists of a blend of ethics, values, morals, a health care organizations mission statement and the recognition of all employees, patients and visitors are and shall be treated equally.

A new community health center has opened in your county offering basic health care services and preventative care and education to migrant workers, illegal residents and recent immigrants. To ensure the health center promotes and establish a culturally competent environment, as the health center’s chief privacy and compliance officer (CPO) (CCO), you have been tasked to develop a cultural competency training tool kit.

Deliverables: The final product to submit is robust cultural competency training tool kit for departmental and organizational wide use. Your final submission must include the following listed below.  A 1-2 page proposal for language assistance as an effort to offer additional pay for bilingual employees willing to serve as a designated language interpreter
