WHAT IS CLAS??
|
This subject was brought up at ASHHRA's Annual Conference (held in Austin, TX October 11-14) Special Interest Session titled "Diversity Panel: Developing an Inclusive Culture" and we are devoting today's eNewsletter to this important subject. CLAS is an acronym for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services. The US Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health has detailed information about each of the 14 Standards.
"These standards for culturally and linguistically appropriate services (CLAS) are proposed as a means to correct inequities that currently exist in the provision of health services and to make these services more responsive to the individual needs of all patients/consumers. The standards are intended to be inclusive of all cultures and not limited to any particular population group or sets of groups; however, they are especially designed to address the needs of racial, ethnic, and linguistic population groups that experience unequal access to health services. Ultimately, the aim of the standards is to contribute to the elimination of racial and ethnic health disparities and to improve the health of all Americans." (Excerpt is taken from the National Standards for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services in Health Care EXECUTIVE SUMMARY, March 2001 Washington, D.C.) To read the Executive Summary, click http://www.omhrc.gov/assets/pdf/checked/executive.pdf "The CLAS standards are primarily directed at health care organizations; however, individual providers are also encouraged to use the standards to make their practices more culturally and linguistically accessible. The principles and activities of culturally and linguistically appropriate services should be integrated throughout an organization and undertaken in partnership with the communities being served. The 14 standards are organized by themes: Culturally Competent Care (Standards 1-3), Language Access Services (Standards 4-7), and Organizational Supports for Cultural Competence (Standards 8-14). Within this framework, there are 3 types of standards of varying stringency: mandates, guidelines, and recommendations as follows: CLAS mandates are current Federal requirements for all recipients of Federal funds (Standards 4, 5, 6, and 7). CLAS guidelines are activities recommended by OMH for adoption as mandates by Federal, State, and national accrediting agencies (Standards 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13). CLAS recommendations are suggested by OMH for voluntary adoption by health care organizations (Standard 14)." The copy above is an excerpt from http://www.omhrc.gov/templates/browse.aspx?lvl=2&lvlID=15. You can also click on this link for details about each of the 14 Standards. We hope this information is helpful to you.
