Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Racial and ethnic disparities in health care are known to reflect access to care and other issues that arise from differing socioeconomic conditions. There is, however, increasing evidence that even after such differences are accounted for, race and ethnicity remain significant predictors of the quality of health care received. In Unequal Treatment, a panel of experts documents this evidence and explores how persons of color experience the health care environment. The book examines how disparities in treatment may arise in health care systems and looks at aspects of the clinical encounter that may contribute to such disparities. Patients' and providers' attitudes, expectations, and behavior are analyzed. How to intervene? Unequal Treatment offers recommendations for improvements in medical care financing, allocation of care, availability of language translation, community-based care, and other arenas. The committee highlights the potential of cross-cultural education to improve provider-patient communication and offers a detailed look at how to integrate cross-cultural learning within the health professions. The book concludes with recommendations for data collection and research initiatives. Unequal Treatment will be vitally important to health care policymakers, administrators, providers, educators, and students as well as advocates for people of color.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of effective physician-patient communication for positive health care outcomes has been established; however, the demographic factors that may be associated with deficient physician-patient communication have lacked attention. The present research involved an analysis of 236 medical interactions and was designed to clarify the link between physician-patient ethnic and gender concordance (i.e., matching) and communication quality. It addressed the overarching research question of whether ethnicity matching and/or gender matching is necessary or beneficial for successful communication. Moreover, to tease apart the dynamics within the full scope of physician-patient communication, analyses for the various pairings of ethnicity matching and/or gender matching were conducted using composite variables derived from third-party ratings of physician behaviors in each of three channels of communication: (a) video-only with no audio, (b) full audio with no video, and (c) content-filtered audio (i.e., content of the dialogue is removed and only voice tone, pitch, tempo, etc. remain). Results from the video-only channel demonstrated that patients who interacted with physicians of a different ethnicity experienced significantly more coldness from physicians than those who saw a physician of their same ethnicity (F(1,215) =8.64, p =.004, r =.20). Furthermore, patients who interacted with physicians of their same ethnicity experienced significantly more withdrawal from their physicians than did patients who saw physicians of a different ethnicity (F(1,216) =4.45, p =.036, r =.14). The full audio channel indicated that patients who interacted with physicians of their same gender experienced significantly more coldness from their physicians than did patients who saw physicians of a different gender (F(1,226) =10.76, p =.001, r =.21). The content-filtered channel showed that coldness experienced by patients from physicians in gender-mismatched dyads was significantly greater in ethnically-matched dyads than in ethnically-mismatched dyads (F(1,218) =4.08, p =.045, r =.14). There are differences in the manner in which physicians communicate with their patients based on their respective ethnic and/or gender matching and the channel of communication observed. Implications of the present results will be addressed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For patients and their loved ones, no care decisions are more profound than those made near the end of life. Unfortunately, the experience of dying in the United States is often characterized by fragmented care, inadequate treatment of distressing symptoms, frequent transitions among care settings, and enormous care responsibilities for families. According to this report, the current health care system of rendering more intensive services than are necessary and desired by patients, and the lack of coordination among programs increases risks to patients and creates avoidable burdens on them and their families. Dying in America is a study of the current state of health care for persons of all ages who are nearing the end of life. Death is not a strictly medical event. Ideally, health care for those nearing the end of life harmonizes with social, psychological, and spiritual support. All people with advanced illnesses who may be approaching the end of life are entitled to access to high-quality, compassionate, evidence-based care, consistent with their wishes. Dying in America evaluates strategies to integrate care into a person- and family-centered, team-based framework, and makes recommendations to create a system that coordinates care and supports and respects the choices of patients and their families. The findings and recommendations of this report will address the needs of patients and their families and assist policy makers, clinicians and their educational and credentialing bodies, leaders of health care delivery and financing organizations, researchers, public and private funders, religious and community leaders, advocates of better care, journalists, and the public to provide the best care possible for people nearing the end of life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Patient-physician communication is integral in any health care interaction because it allows for patients to receive the best care possible. The communication that takes place between a patient and physician impacts a variety of things, including quality of care, satisfaction, trust, participation, and adherence to treatment. Therefore, it is important for patients to feel comfortable when communicating with their physicians. This comfort arises when patients feel like they can relate to their physician through similar racial backgrounds. This study examines the influence of race on patient-physician communication and highlights specific racial/ethnic groups that are affected. Results of this study indicate that certain features of the communication process allow for it to be more successful and that minority patients experience less communication with their physicians. Future research should be aimed at improving patient-physician communication for minorities as a whole.

The questions under consideration in the present book are the following: How is the doctor-patient interaction structured in a particular culture? What takes place during the process? What causes misunderstandings, lack of cooperation and even total non-compliance? What is the outcome of the interaction and how does the patient benefit from it? Finally, and this is the ultimate purpose of this book: How can the interaction be improved so that an optimum outcome is assured for the patient with maximum satisfaction to the physician?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of eliminating disparities in health care in the United States remains elusive. Even as quality improves on specific measures, disparities often persist. Addressing these disparities must begin with the fundamental step of bringing the nature of the disparities and the groups at risk for those disparities to light by collecting health care quality information stratified by race, ethnicity and language data. Then attention can be focused on where interventions might be best applied, and on planning and evaluating those efforts to inform the development of policy and the application of resources. A lack of standardization of categories for race, ethnicity, and language data has been suggested as one obstacle to achieving more widespread collection and utilization of these data. Race, Ethnicity, and Language Data identifies current models for collecting and coding race, ethnicity, and language data; reviews challenges involved in obtaining these data, and makes recommendations for a nationally standardized approach for use in health care quality improvement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No other hospital department cares for patients as diverse as those who come to the Emergency Department (ED). These patients encompass all stages and positions of life and health. Many belong to distinct minority cultures defined by the patient's sexual orientation and gender identity, disability, spirituality, language, race, and ethnicity. It has been well documented that minorities experience inadequate emergency treatment and face poorer healthcare outcomes. Furthermore, research has established that the elderly, ethnic minorities, the poor, and persons with Medicaid coverage are more likely than other people to utilize the emergency department rather than primary care services. With the passage of the Affordable Care Act, particularly the Medicaid expansion, EDs across the United States are poised to care for an unprecedented number of underserved minorities. The need to equip emergency healthcare professionals to practice medicine that is culturally competent in the broadest possible sense has never been greater. Diversity and Inclusion in Quality Patient Care aims to fill this need.
