The present study surveyed international and domestic U.S. students about their perceptions of university health care providers’ cultural competence, their own attitudes toward university health center providers, and overall satisfaction with university health center providers. Results demonstrated generally positive attitudes and satisfaction, but more negative perceptions of provider cultural competence were identified especially when students perceived problems with providers’ language competence and interest in learning about patients’ backgrounds. International students reported more positive attitudes concerning providers’ cultural competence than U.S. students. Implications of the findings are discussed, along with limitations of the study and suggestions for future research.

Care Needs

 Racial/ethnic disparities have long persisted in the United States despite concerted health system efforts to improve access and quality of care among African Americans and Latinos. Cultural competence in the health care setting has been recognized as an important feature of high-quality health care delivery for decades and will continue to be paramount as the society in which we live becomes increasingly culturally diverse. Unfortunately, there is limited empirical evidence of patient health benefits of a culturally competent health care workforce in integrated care, its feasibility of imple­mentation, and sustainability strategies. This article reviews the status of cultural competence education in health care, the merits of continued commitment to training health care providers in integrated care settings, and policy and practice strategies to ensure emerging health care professionals and those already in the field are prepared to meet the health care needs of racially and ethnically diverse populations.

Survivorship Care Planning

42 Background: Barriers to SCP delivery are pervasive, with limited data available on strategies to address implementation barriers. Despite the variety of models for SCP-based survivorship care planning, there is a dearth of studies on SCP program development for larger hospital networks. Large networked hospital systems, including the Levine Cancer Institute (LCI), have unique challenges for implementing a SCP program. Methods: Beginning in 2014, LCI implemented a process for delivery of SCPs across its network of 8 Commission on Cancer accredited hospitals. Obstacles to implementation were evaluated and methods of establishing procedures for insuring SCP delivery were reviewed. Improvement in SCP delivery was measured over 3 years. SCP program development involved leveraging technology, developing processes for identifying eligible survivors, and engaging providers and practice managers in this key organizational initiative. Results: In 2014, the SCP program consisted of 3 advanced care providers (ACPs) in 3 LCI medical oncology clinics, delivering SCPs to 67 (2%) of the eligible 3,336 survivors. In the second year of implementation, 14 ACPs and 4 MDs delivered 348 (11%) SCPs to eligible survivors in 14 LCI clinics. By the end of the 2016 calendar year, it is estimated that > 1,029 SCPs ( > 25%) of eligible survivors will receive a SCP throughout the LCI hospital network. Conclusions: While challenging to deliver, SCPs are important both for cancer program accreditation and for communication between patients and physicians. At its large, multi-center cancer program, LCI has implemented a number of methods and protocols to insure that eligible patients receive informative and timely SCPs. LCI’s processes have resulted in an improvement in the number of SCPs delivered and have also served to eliminate obstacles to increasing the number of SCPs that will be delivered in the future. It is recommended that oncology practices consider the methods and interventions that LCI found helpful to improve SCP delivery in large hospital networks. It is also encouraged that oncology practices to continue to share their methods with other centers to promote eventual SCP delivery to eligible survivors.

Competent Health Care

Clinical Scenario: The level of cultural competence of health care providers has been studied. However, limited scholarship has examined whether the cultural competence of the health care provider affects patient satisfaction. Focused Clinical Question: Does cultural competence of health care providers influence patient satisfaction with their experience with their provider? Summary of Key Findings: Having a culturally competent health care provider, or one who a patient perceives as culturally competent, does increase patient satisfaction. Clinical Bottom Line: Cultural competence in health care plays an important role in patients being satisfied with their providers, as well as patients willingly and actively participating in their treatment. Strength of Recommendation: Questions 1 to 5 and 9 of the critical appraisal skills program were answered “yes” for all studies in the critically appraised topic. Thus, the authors strongly support the findings.

Purpose: This article examines the concept and use of the term cultural safety in Canada and the United States. Design: To examine the uptake of cultural awareness, cultural sensitivity, cultural competence, and cultural safety between health organizations in Canada and the United States, we reviewed position statements/policies of health care associations. Findings: The majority of selected health associations in Canada include cultural safety within position statements or organizational policies; however, comparable U.S. organizations focused on cultural sensitivity and cultural competence. Discussion: Through the work of the Center for American Indian Resilience, we demonstrate that U.S. researchers engage with the tenets of cultural safety—despite not using the language. Conclusions: We recommend that health care providers and health researchers consider the tenets of cultural safety. Implications for Practice: To address health disparities between American Indian populations and non–American Indians, we urge the adoption of the term and tenets of cultural safety in the United States.
