Healthcare professionals should be educated on how to provide care services in a
culturally competent manner in order to increase the cultural competence of health care delivery.
The concept of educating students on how they can be competent in health care profession may
involve interprofessional education collaborative (Gilbert, Yan & Hoffman, 2010). The concept
of interprofessional education collaborative aims at employing the best education systems and
health care practice for cultural competence.
In order to achieve value and ethics, roles and responsibility and communication, we
should change the education system for all healthcare professionals. Some of the ways that can
be recommended to achieve these goals include the use of technology, improve communication
and work in an interdisciplinary team. In relation to interprofessional teams, we ought to create
professional skill by means of training and reflection, focus on internal group relationship and
utilize a few techniques for correspondence with the end goal to connect barrier of best
healthcare and patient’s outcome (Gilbert, Yan & Hoffman, 2010).
For example, in my current professional practice, I have seen some healthcare
professionals who don’t know how to use new technology, have poor communication skills
while communicating with patients whereas other have bad discipline while interacting with
patients (Reeves, et al., 2013). The use of new technology, improvement on good communication
skills and training students to have discipline are some of the recommendations that can help
play a key role in the provision of quality health care. With the employment of new technology
like informatics, students will be able to understand genomic issues and thereby be able to
acquire goals of prevention of a certain disease (Lee, Park, & Jeong, 2012).
