How can healthcare providers improve care for diverse pediatric populations?
Healthcare providers can improve care for diverse pediatric populations by fostering cultural competence, improving communication, and advocating for policies that promote health equity. Training in cultural competency helps providers understand and respect different health beliefs and practices. Additionally, using interpreters and culturally appropriate educational materials can enhance communication with patients and their families. Advocacy for policies that address social determinants of health and improve healthcare access is also essential.
