文化能力作为提高保健质量和消除种族/民族差异的一项潜在战略已受到关注。在2002年，我们进行了采访，从管理式医疗，政府，文化能力的专家，并确定他们在该领域的观点。我们在这里提出我们的研究结果，然后确定最近的趋势，文化能力集中在医疗保健政策，实践和教育。我们的分析表明，许多医疗保健利益相关者正在制定文化能力的举措。然而，提高文化能力的动机和采取的方法因使命、目标和影响范围而异。
Cultural competence has gained attention as a potential strategy to improve quality and eliminate racial/ethnic disparities in health care. In 2002 we conducted interviews with experts in cultural competence from managed care, government, and academe to identify their perspectives on the field. We present our findings here and then identify recent trends in cultural competence focusing on health care policy, practice, and education. Our analysis reveals that many health care stakeholders are developing initiatives in cultural competence. Yet the motivations for advancing cultural competence and approaches taken vary depending on mission, goals, and sphere of influence.
