Improving Your Practice and Advocacy for Cultural Competency through the Skills-based ASCN Model

This webinar has been designed as an inter-professional training for
all healthcare providers. Nurses, pharmacists, and doctors, both in practice
and in training, as well as PA’s, MA’s, front desk staff, receptionists, and
other staff can benefit from learning about improving cultural competency
skills and practices though identifying and removing potential roadblocks to
care experienced by patients from different population groups. This webinar
focuses on the Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS)
standards of the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of
Minority Health (OMH), health disparities, and a skills-based approach to
culturally competent care: the ASCN model (Ask, Share, Compare and Negotiate).

 

Learning Objectives:

• Describe the ASCN (Ask, Share, Compare, and Negotiate) model
  and how this skills-based approach to culturally competent care can be applied
  to your clinical setting.
• Demonstrate familiarity with the Culturally and
  Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS) standards of the US Department of
  Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Minority Health and how they impact
  the ethical responsibilities of medical service providers.
• Define “health disparities” and how they disproportionately
  affect ethnic and racial minority populations in the United States.
• Recognize that “ethnicity,” “race,” and “culture” are fluid
  categories that overlap and also include other aspects of identity that can
  include religion, sexual orientation, gender, class, etc.
