• Cultural characteristics such as values, beliefs, traditions, folktales, and attitudes toward health care.
• A discussion of the local demographics—does the cultural population(s) chosen reflect the state of the health care industry and disparities studied?
• Identification of the diverse backgrounds of people in the workforce of the organization selected and compare them to the population(s) served. For example, are predominantly white, non-Hispanics serving a predominantly Asian population?

Section 3: Analysis of Organizational Needs

Identify, assess, and evaluate health care needs as follows:

• Identify any changes needed in the organization’s vision or mission statements towards the targeted cultural group as it relates to disparities.

This section is a proposal to develop, design, and execute a culturally competent health care plan:

• Assess and make recommendations regarding executive or leadership support in developing and implementing the cultural competence plan.
• Consider the possible impact of a champion, a more diverse leadership team, or more engagement by the board.
• Analyze any assessments, like self-assessments, role-play, or hands-on practice in engaging cultural and linguistic differences in various health care settings, from intake through delivery.
• How do you see the role of health care leadership in engaging the community (governance)?
• Who is responsible for staff development, who should lead the effort, and what training should be implemented?
