Communicating with Patients with Limited English Proficiency
Within healthcare, a patient with limited English proficiency (LEP) is an individual whose primary means of communication is not English and who has a limited command of the language in reading, writing, speaking, or understanding (Office for Civil Rights, 2016). These patients need the careful attention of healthcare personnel to ensure the safety and quality of care. Healthcare professionals should understand regulations and standards related to patients with LEP, such as the use of an interpreter for communication.
The goal of this educational program is to improve the ability of the healthcare team to provide quality care and better outcomes for patients with limited English proficiency (LEP).
Recall the importance of medical interpretation services for patients with LEP.
Identify regulatory, accreditation, and evidence-based standards related to patients with LEP and linguistic services.
Choose strategies for effectively communicating with patients with LEP, including best practices when using an interpreter.
DEI: An Introduction to Multicultural Care
Increasing awareness of cultural diversification has challenged traditional institutions and practices. This includes the delivery of treatment services. Outcome studies have consistently demonstrated the need for change in the way that healthcare and other services operate.

Identify three primary reasons why a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is critical for providing quality care and improving outcomes for individuals with behavioral health needs.
Summarize ways you can identify and mitigate the impact of bias in your professional interactions.
Indicate at least three approaches you can use to demonstrate cultural humility and a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Quality Series: Safety First - Culture and Patient Impact
A ‘culture of safety’ is an often-heard term in clinical settings. Most patients require complex care, with many interprofessional teams working together. Large patient volumes, an expectation for rapid delivery of care, the consumer’s ability to choose providers, and government reimbursements all drive acute care facilities to invest in preventing or reducing errors. Improving safety is beneficial to the patient primarily, with less risk of injury or death, but also to the facility and staff, improving retention and job satisfaction, with the added benefit of extensive cost-savings.
Describe the identifying factors and benefits to a culture of safety.
Discuss organizations responsible for driving patient safety changes on a national level.
Evaluate barriers to patient safety, and how these can be reduced or eliminated.
The Role of Risk Management: A Quality Perspective
The role of risk management has a significant impact on the quality outcomes of acute care organizations. It includes systems and validated processes aimed at assessing and developing interventions to mitigate risk factors and optimize quality outcomes. HCPs are stakeholders in the risk management process and can benefit from understanding risk management strategies and objectives. In this course, you will learn about risk management in the acute care setting.
The goal of this course is to provide healthcare professionals in acute care settings with information to enhance their understanding of the role they play in risk management along with proven strategies for ensuring quality outcomes in their professional practice in acute care settings.
Identify the importance of risk management, the processes, and tools used in risk management in the acute care setting.
Identify at least two concrete strategies for enhancing quality outcomes.
