Exploring and Improving processes for speakers of aboriginal languages to influence the safety and quality of their health care (EQuaLS)

Project: Research

Project Details

Description

Effective health communication is fundamental to ensuring quality health care. However, communication is challenging when staff and patients do not share the same language and/or cultural background. Research undertaken by the project team indicates major failures to communicate effectively with serious health consequences. Even for people who speak English as a first language, we have demonstrated significant miscommunication. Improving communication between health staff and Aboriginal patients is a crucial element in closing the gap in health outcomes and achieving cultural safety in health care.

This project relates to PURE ID#23802340 thus we are going to use the existing cost code 0820-6816.
