Today's healthcare providers see a growing number of patients with diverse cultural backgrounds. And understanding their particular needs is critical. CultureVision offers the first user-friendly comprehensive database enabling healthcare professionals and facilities to provide culturally competent patient care in three clicks and five minutes.

Annual subscriptions to this comprehensive database provides information on almost 30 cultural groups and 10 religious groups on such topics as communication, family patterns, diet and nutrition, treatment protocols and ethno-pharmacological issues.

Why CultureVision?

While healthcare is a universal concept that exists in every cultural group, different cultures vary in the ways in which health and illness are perceived, and how care is given. Culture is a predominate force in shaping behaviors, values, and beliefs that impact an individual's health and response to illness.

The more you know about someone's healthcare beliefs or practices, the more your treatment plans can be designed for the best health outcomes possible -- those which take into account your patient's world view, as well as any potential ethno-pharmacological implications. Transcultural healthcare focuses on the cultural beliefs and lifestyles of diverse groups of people and on the use of this knowledge to provide culturally appropriate patient care.

CultureVision is the perfect solution. It is a robust database of the knowledge necessary for healthcare professionals to overcome the uncertainty associated with cultural differences. It enables them to care for people of varying backgrounds and assist, support, and facilitate the patient's ability to regain or maintain the highest levels of independence and wellness.

How Does It Work?

It's as simple as 1-2-3. Let's say a Filipino patient comes into labor and delivery. A nurse wants to know if there are any specific cultural traits or patterns that they should know about. Are there pertinent questions to ask? Are there any medications, or diseases that are particularly relevant to this group?

The nurse simply logs into the CultureVision website and click on the Filipino section, and then click "Labor, Birth and Aftercare". Within a few moments the nurse will have the information which can contribute to a better healthcare experience for the patient at their fingertips.
