Using Visual and Narrative Methods to Achieve Fair Process in Clinical Care

Abstract:
Healthcare that is respectful and ethical must also be culturally competent, and a variety of tools are available to empower caregivers to provide culturally competent care. This article reviews the tools that the University of Michigan Health Care System's Program for Multicultural Health provides to caregivers throughout its many services. Cultural competency begins with self-awareness and knowledge, but it is also to embark upon a lifelong journey. Progress is cumulative, and assessment is an important part of the process.
