...Benchmark Assignment – Heritage Assessment Grand Canyon University – NRS 429 Benchmark Assignment – Heritage Assessment Our ever-growing multicultural and ethnically diverse United States population makes it challenging for health care professionals to provide culturally competent and effective holistic care to these groups. It is imperative that health education strategies include performing a heritage assessment to include a person’s ethnic background, cultural heritage, health traditions and beliefs, cultural considerations affecting health, as well as traditional methods used for maintaining, protecting and restoring health (Spector, n.d.). It is of upmost importance for the health care provider to be knowledgeable of their own cultural beliefs and values in order to provide respectful, appropriate and culturally sensitive care to these diverse populations. Likewise, being culturally competent and possessing a complete understanding of the diverse minorities and ethnic groups is imperative in order to provide optimal health care to include ongoing maintenance, protection and restoration of health (Edelman, 2014). To analyze this theory three families of different ethnic backgrounds were interviewed using a heritage assessment tool which included additional health related questions. After completing these assessments the author believes that it is important to incorporate knowledge of a cultural heritage assessment into their practice and that this exercise...

...The Importance of Staff Diversity in Childcare Since the introduction of affirmative action in the 1960's, diversity has become a growing concern. Diversity has also caused employers to become more aware of its necessity in the work environment. In a society that is growing more diverse by the day, businesses are forced to recognize the need for diversity in their overall management practices. Working in the childcare business has taught this author the importance of diversity among my staff and our classrooms. The services that are provided reach all types of families, cultures, and races. But the vast majority of childcare centers tend to lack diversity in their staff. The author of this paper intends to show directors of childcare facilities that diversity is important in order to meet the needs of their clients for three primary reasons: to incorporate all walks of life in an ever-changing society, to develop clear communication between staff and parents, and to enhance the learning environment for the children being taught. Diversity has become a part of our everyday society and culture. As childcare providers it is imperative that directors become aware of the constant change and equip themselves with the knowledge needed to meet the needs of the current society. According to Pearson (2000), “...early childhood educators and caregivers are faced with the dilemma of meeting the needs of an ever-changing population. As the population becomes more diverse, classrooms...

...| Overcoming The Challenges | What lies ahead for the new pediatric satellite clinic | | Abstract The purpose of this document is to discuss the opening of a new pediatric satellite clinic in a place of my choosing. For this document, I will be choosing Charlotte, NC; which is close to my hometown. This essay will discuss several challenges that lay ahead with this project, such as; recruiting and retaining staff; types of services and resources; building rapport with the community and surrounding counties; finances and profitability of the clinic; technology; and compliance with local, state, and federal laws and regulations. These challenges will also be further broken down and explain ways that administration can overcome these challenges so that the project is successful. Lastly, there will be a discussion on specific skills and knowledge that administration needs to utilize when opening the new clinic and to manage staff. The decision to expand the Pediatric Community Care Center has provided other communities the chance to receive quality care close to their home. This decision also poses great risks and challenges. Overcoming these challenges will be no easy feat; however, with careful consideration and implementing the right course, this project should be a success. The new Pediatric Satellite Clinic will be located in Charlotte, North Carolina. This area has a population of around 773 thousand, with around 20% of that population being children...
