Disparities and Cultural Competency

NICHQ used an expert panel to help us create a Change Package of what we believe are the most promising practices for achieving culturally competent care. It became clear to us early in this process that the scope of this issue was too big to address in one Change Package. We see this version as the very best initial approach to improving care: the first layer.
