It explains how health care professionals and organisations can use that knowledge to ensure that every patient receives high-quality, safe, and cost-effective personalised health care. The impact of race and ethnicity, gender and gender identity, sexual orientation, age, language, socioeconomic status, and religion on health and health care are discussed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the current challenges, private sector organisations that accredit health care providers, health plans, and educational programmes in medicine, nursing, and allied health continue to affirm the need for cultural competence through their accreditation criteria. Voluntary health care professional associations continue to provide membership with support, encouragement, and resources for the delivery of culturally and linguistically competent health care. Health care providers strive every day to deliver personalised care and work diligently to improve their patients' health by delivering health care in a manner that is respectful of each patient's needs and preferences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWritten by the same three nationally known scholars and experts as the first edition, the second edition presents principles and practices that can be realistically incorporated into the ongoing work of any health care provider or organisation. Each chapter contains learning objectives, a summary, key terms, and review questions and activities designed to allow the reader to explore, analyse, and apply concepts and practices identified throughout the text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47562822680812,"sku":"9781394351213","price":209.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781394351213-cultural-competence-in-health-care.jpg?v=1776987565","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/cultural-competence-in-health-care-by-beverly-malone-9781394351213","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
