To achieve successful outcomes, health care is best provided within a context that is sensitive to patients' culturalvalues. The health-care providers' cultural competency also plays a significant role in reducing health disparities. We describe the care provided by the Windham Hospital prenatal clinic as one example of culturally sensitive health care with the overall goal of reducing health disparities and improving patient outcomes.
为取得成功的结果,最好在对患者文化价值观敏感的背景下提供医疗保健服务。医疗保健提供者的文化能力在减少健康差距方面也发挥着重要作用。我们将温德姆医院产前诊所提供的护理描述为文化敏感型医疗保健的一个例子,其总体目标是减少健康差距并改善患者治疗效果。
