Workplace training and education consultancy Prism International has launched the HealthCare Inclusion & Cultural Competencies Suite.

"Shifting demographics, heightened patient and community expectations of care, changing regulations and expanded use of technology require that healthcare professionals increase their inclusion and cultural competence," company executives said.

The company says the six-product suite helps medical staff to understand the impact of the trends driving changes in healthcare; recognize their own perceptions, assumptions and biases, and the impact on the staff and on patient care; approach their colleagues and the bed side with expanded cultural competence; and refocus their behavior on building and supporting a culture of engagement, cooperation, trust and respect.

Among the suite's modules are:

*Creating Inclusive and Culturally Competent Teams HealthCare IMPACT Roadmap

*Inclusion, Cultural Competency and You (training tool kit in-a-box)

*Race Matters - Results Count in HealthCare (training tool kit in-a-box)

*Diversity, Inclusion & You (an e-learning course)

The suite provides clinical and non-clinical staff with needed information, insights, skills and tools to work confidently in their increasingly complex, fast paced, technology-driven and diverse healthcare environment, according to the company.
