Defining Cultural Competency

Na?onal Quality Forum. (2008). Endorsing a Framework and Preferred Prac?ces for Measuring and Repor?ng Culturally Competent Care Quality. Washington DC: Na?onal Quality Forum.

The Na(onal Quality Forum (NQF) (2008. p3) defines cultural competency as the:

  • "ongoing capacity of healthcare systems, organiza(ons, and

professionals to provide for diverse pa(ent popula(ons high‐ quality care that is safe, pa(ent and family centered, evidence based, and equitable.” And states that Cultural competency is achieved through:

  • "policies, learning processes, and structures by which
  • rganiza(ons and individuals develop the aNtudes,

behaviors, and systems that are needed for effec(ve cross‐ cultural interac(ons”

Need for A Leadership‐Focused Systems Approach

  • Five year study of associa(on between race and

gender diversity and business performance (Kochan 2003)

  • Diversity won’t automa(cally translate into be[er (or worse) results
  • Diversity is a labor market impera(ve and social expecta(on or value
  • The business case for diversity is complex and nuanced
  • Impact of demographic diversity depends on the context
  • Context includes organiza(onal culture, HR prac(ces, and strategy

The BoUom Line: Unless explicit aUen?on is given to managing diversity, its impact is likely to be nega?ve

Strategic Diversity Leadership

  • “Diversity leadership is a differen(a(on strategy that

is responsive to demographic shi`s and changing social aNtudes among both the pa(ents and the workforce.” (Dreachslin, 1999:428)

  • The diversity sensi(ve orienta(on of leaders drives

investment in diversity management and culturally & linguis(cally appropriate care (Dansky et. al., 2003)

Diversity Leadership

Predicts CLAS Adherence

Strategic Plan

  • Strategic plan goals for diversity in two areas:
  • Recruitment and Reten(on of a Culturally Diverse Workforce
  • Provision of Culturally and Linguis(cally Appropriate Pa(ent Care

Performance Metrics

  • Rou(ne assessment of diversity goal achievement as part of strategic planning

Accountability

  • Dedicated person, office or commi[ee assigned responsibility to promote

the hospital’s cultural diversity goals Community Involvement

  • Annually report to the community about the hospital’s performance in mee(ng the cultural and

language needs of the service area.

  • Adherence to the CLAS standards resulted in significant

increases in sa?sfac?on for all pa?ents, irrespec?ve of race, ethnicity or primary

  • Diversity leadership can result in across the board

improvement in pa?ent percep?ons of high quality health care.

NCHL Leadership Development & Transforma?on System

Aligning leadership development and business strategy

The key principles for managing innova(on and performance improvement that are essen(al for systema(c and sustainable change:

  • Leadership development and organiza(onal business strategy are aligned
  • Board is accountable for leadership succession
  • Learning is competency‐based, inter‐professional, and ac(on‐oriented
  • Key talent management and strategic human resource processes are integrated and aligned
  • Leadership development dashboard tracks key measurable outcomes

The NCHL Diversity Leadership Demonstra?on Project

  • Project began in 2007 with a review of the evidence‐

base for diversity management1

  • First study that employs pre‐post interven(on

assessment of system‐wide diversity change ini(a(ves

  • Currently involves three (3) major heath care

systems

  • 2 hospitals per system
  • Funding provided by Sodexo, par(cipa(ng
  • rganiza(ons, and NCHL fundraising

Goals of the Research

  • Evaluate impact of a planned series of diversity

interven(ons on organiza(onal performance

  • Contribute to the literature:
  • Current published research is limited1
  • Rigor: over emphasis on case study, literature review,

self‐reported results

  • Collabora(on: necessary to balance prac(cality with

rigor to build the business case
