The Joint Commission: Division of Standards and Survey MethodHospitals, Language, and Culture: A
Snapshot of the Nation is a cross-sectional qualitative study designed
to explore how 60 hospitals across the country provide health care to
culturally and linguistically diverse patient populations. The first of
the reports from this study, released in March 2007, highlights the
efforts of hospitals to meet the needs of diverse patients and provides
recommendations to help hospitals improve these efforts.
Recommendations also call upon policymakers and researchers to work
collaboratively to better understand the ways that care can be improved
to diverse populations. Future reports will highlight promising
practices identified in the study, the experience of a hypothetical
patient with limited English proficiency who navigates the health
system, and perspectives of hospital CEOs. For more information and to download a copy of the report, please visit http://www.jointcommission.org/PatientSafety/HLC/ Or contact hlc-info@jointcommission.org. |
