Health Disparities
Differences or gaps in care experienced by one population compared with another population which can result in less access to care, a poorer quality of care, and higher death rates from certain diseases.

Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Health Care
Differential utilization based on race for within Medicare:
� Mammography (Gornick et al.)� Amputations (Gornick et al.)� Influenza vaccination (Gornick et al.)� Lung Ca Surgery (Bach et al.)� Renal Transplantation (Ayanian et al.) � Cardiac catherization & angioplasty (Harris et al, Ayanian et al.) � Coronary artery bypass graft (Peterson et al.)� Treatment of chest pain (Johnson et al.)� Referral to cardiology specialist care (Schulman et al.)� Pain management (Todd et al.)
Potential Reasons for Disparities in Care
Source: Unequal Treatment: Confronting Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Healthcare, March 2002.
Patient Level• Patient preferences• Treatment resistance /
compliance• Health perceptions• Care seeking behaviors and
attitudes• Clinical appropriateness of
care
Provider Level• Bias• Stereotyping• Clinical uncertainty• Poorer quality of care • Lack of patient-centered care• Unconscious and automatic
Health Care Organization / Systems Level
• Lack of access to care
• Lack of interpretation and translation services
• Time pressures on physicians and other clinical staff
• Geographic availability of health care institutions
• Changes in the financing and delivery of health care services

Focus of Efforts
A.C.C.E.S.S. to Care• Enhance Moffitt Cancer Center’s image among at-risk and
underserved communities through delivery of culturally and linguistically competent care, prevention education and mutuallybeneficial partnerships;
Culture of Diversity & Inclusion• Serve as a resource, as well as, identify opportunities to increase
Moffitt’s preparedness when serving diverse communities.
A.C.C.E.S.S.
• Awareness and Education
• Community Outreach
• Cultural and Linguistic Competence
• Equity and Inclusion
• Support Other initiatives (Technical Assistance)
• Strong Partnerships
Integrated patterns of human behavior that include the language, thoughts, communications, actions, customs, beliefs, values, roles, relationships, and institutions of racial, ethnic, religious, or social groups
Definition of Culture
Cultural Competence is defined as “a set of behaviors, skills, attitudes, knowledge, practices, policies, and strategies that together enables the Moffitt workforce to work effectively in cross-cultural situations to improve:
(1) Patient safety; (2) Patient satisfaction; (3) Access to and utilization of care; and(4) Quality of care(5) Workforce diversity; and(6) Participation in clinical trials and research
Cultural Competence
• Beyond the “right thing to do”………..
• Changing demographics
• Health care services that are respectful of and responsive to the health beliefs, practices and cultural and linguistic needs of diverse patients can help bring about positive health outcomes .
•• Growing evidence as an important strategy for reducing
health disparities
• Legal and regulatory mandates
Why CLC?
Improving Quality of Care
• Diverse and Limited English Proficiency (LEP) patients are less likely than others to receive the most effective, evidence-based treatments for certain conditions
• Diverse populations report more communication difficulties with their physicians, less involvement in clinical decisions, more difficulty understanding instructions on prescriptions, and instructions from physician’s staff
Improving Patient Safety
• Diverse and Limited English Proficiency (LEP) patients suffer more medical errors with greater clinical consequences
• Communication problems may lead to misdiagnosis, inappropriate treatment, and limit authentic informed consent
Improving Patient Satisfaction
Good patient/provider communication is linked to better patient satisfaction, adherence to treatment
recommendations, and improved health outcomes
Reducing Liability
Communication issues are a key component of claims filed by patients whose culture, ethnicity, religion and/or English language ability differ from that of the healthcare provider
27
• Value Diversity
• Have the capacity for cultural self-assessment
• Be conscious of the dynamics inherent when cultures interact
• Have institutionalized cultural knowledge
• Have developed adaptations to diversity
Five Essential Elements of a Culturally Competent System
Lost in Translation…
Readily available and culturally appropriate communication and language services and supports, and vital documents and informing materials, for patients and family members through such means as bilingual/bicultural staff, and professional medical interpreters and translators
Linguistic Competence
Impact of Language Barriers
• When Lacking Language Assistance
• Less likely to have a Primary Care Physician (PCP)
• More likely to not go to follow up appointments
• More like to be in fair or poor health
• Medication instructions errors
• Less satisfied with the health care received
• With available Language Assistance
• Successful patient-provider relationship
• Standard medical interview techniques – complete exchange of information
• Empathic connection
It’s the Law!
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
“No person in the United States shall, on ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, or be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or
activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”
