DiversityRx now offers a new way to keep current and connected on cultural
competence in health care.
CLAS-talk is the email discussion group sponsored by Resources for
Cross Cultural Health Care and the DiversityRx website (www.diversityRx.org).
Participants can raise issues, ask questions, share information and
resources and network with each other around topics related to the design,
delivery and evaluation of culturally and linguistically appropriate
services (CLAS) in health care. You will also receive updates on new
publications, policies and events related to CLAS.
Participants can use CLAS-talk to:
- Share information about new approaches, programs, initiatives and
policies related to cultural competence
- Seek and offer advice on implementing the National Standards for
Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS) in health
care
- Find support for meeting and overcoming challenges related to designing,
funding, and improving cultural competence programs
- Debate emerging practices, policies, and trends to stimulate new
directions in policymaking and service implementation;
- Explore how to document the clinical and financial benefits of culturally
responsive care through evaluation and outcomes-based research.
- Promote networking among policymakers, funders, provider organizations,
and community advocates to improve culturally competent services to
diverse populations.
CLAS-talk is open to anyone with an interest in these issues. If you’d
like to join us as we explore these issues, send
an email to the listserv moderator. Please introduce yourself and
briefly describe your interest in culturally competent health care.
The listserv will operate according to standard listserv protocols,
which will be sent to each participant when they are added to the membership.
Each member of the listserv will receive copies of all messages sent
to the list (you can receive these as individual emails or in digest
form). To respond, you simply have to reply to the listserv, and all
members will receive your response automatically.
