  2. Identify best practices in culturally competent assessment
  3. Illustrate best practices through a case narrative

  5. Identify best practices in culturally competent intervention

Why Do I Need to Know This?
According to the hospice conditions of participation, the core disciplines in the Interdisciplinary team include the physician, the nurse, the social worker, and the chaplain. Teamwork leads to improved patient care outcomes, improved coordination of care, and less duplication in services. In addition, teamwork leads to increased educational opportunities and improved mental well-being for health professionals. At the same time, teamwork can be challenging and team conflict is common.
