PATIENT’S/FAMILY’S CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC ASSESSMENT CARD®

Here is a great tool that we have developed for health care providers and care managers to use with patients and families during a visit or an intake.  We beleive that it important to learn as much as we can about patients/families cultural and linguistic background in order to access and provide effective care and services.

It can be difficult to know and understand the diverse needs of patients and families when cultural and linguistic needs are unknown or misunderstood.  Having insight into the patients’ cultural, ethnic, and linguistic background can help avoid miscommunication and the potential for misdiagnosis or poor adherence to treatment and appointments follow-up.

This tool was designed, as a vehicle to collect pertinent information about the patient/family cultural and linguistic needs.  The tool should be implemented in two stages:
  1. The first section is for the patient/family to answer during the intake process.
  2. The second session is for the health care provider/care manager to complete post-visit based on his/her observations during visit.

By completing this tool, we hope that the practice will identify its strength and vulnerable areas such as lack of appropriate language services, low level of staff training on cultural and linguistic appropriate services, the need for a cultural broker, and creating a practice environment where there is a two way communication between the provider and patient/family.

Here is the link to our tool, hope you find it useful.
