| Why Care about
Cultural Competency in Your
Organization |
|
Many of you have
called or emailed me to chat about the upcoming
Culturally Competent Patient-Centered Care course
wondering how to present this to your manager as
relevant to your professional development and
performance at work.
I can tell by your comments
that you understand why intrinsically, but I thought it
might be helpful to offer you three quick points for
discussion:
- Your patient and customer demographics are
changing dramatically day-by-day, not to mention your
fellow colleagues,
- Patients will delay seeking care when they do not
feel comfortable in your environment. When they
finally do come, their treatment will cost much more,
- No matter what company you work for, you probably
have an initiative to increase market share. You will
be more prepared to implement that strategy after
taking this course.
Try these out on your
boss or share them with your colleagues and take Dr.
James Mason's course together. You will not be
disappointed.
In fact, Jim Kronenberg, former
executive director of the Oregon Medical Association
says Mason is an "Impressive speaker" with a "very
charismatic" delivery. Mason will delight you with
stories and inform you with powerful tools to use when
addressing culturally competency issues. -- Lori Silverman, Program
Manager
