Could You Get Better at Providing Culturally Competent Care To Patients? Probably. (interview with Dr. Raj Sundar, Host of The Healthcare For Humans Podcast)

Ask Nurse Alice

As a nurse and healthcare provider, how well do you think you take culturally diverse patients? Outside of task-oriented things? In this episode, Nurse Alice speaks with Dr. Raj Sundar, physician and podcast Host of the Healthcare for Humans Podcast about how we can better understand, connect and service our patients of different cultures.
The duo encourages you to ask yourself the following questions,
- How else do you measure the quality of care that you provide?
- How often do you consider social determinants of your patient’s health when providing care?
- How often do you consider historical, cultural, language, or religious factors and race in the care you provide?
If you included those things in your metrics for “good care” – how would you score yourself now?
