————————————————
Continuous improvement in healthcare is crucial to giving high-quality care. By implementing a continuous improvement strategy, hospitals and health systems can improve patient experience. Also, enhance treatments that are needed by discovering improvements in patient care. Healthcare organizations also need to improve by reducing costs and gaining an understanding of their patient population (White & Griffith, 2019).
One of the main goals of continuous improvement is to enhance the patient experience by addressing problems that arise in delivering care. Also, by reducing waiting times, improving communication, and making patients feel heard. When it comes to enhancing treatments of healthcare organizations, they are able to then focus on patient-centered care and responsiveness to patient needs. By collecting feedback from patients, healthcare providers can improve changes that lead to better interaction and trust in the healthcare systems. Additionally, continuous improvement helps the effectiveness of medical treatments by ensuring healthcare organizations follow evidence-based practices. Continuous improvement plays a vital role in discovering new ways to improve healthcare outcomes. By using data-driven decision-making and following the reflective equilibrium model, healthcare providers can improve and give the best care (Morrison & Furlong, 2019). When it comes to costs it is important to always stay on top financially. As healthcare costs rise, healthcare organizations need to find ways to operate efficiently without compromising quality of care. Healthcare organizations need to continue to improve and gain an understanding of their patient population. Understanding the needs and demographics of their patient population will give health organizations the ability to identify health disparities.
An area in health care that could benefit from continuous improvement is waiting times at a healthcare clinic or hospital. How many times have you gone to the doctor's office or ER and waited hours to be seen? This has been an ongoing problem in the healthcare system and definitely can use improvement. Clinics need to make sure they have the appropriate number of staff to check in and discharge patients in a timely manner. Also scheduling appointment times better, so there is enough time for the physician to see each patient without rushing and not giving enough time to everyone. Improve patient communication by calling patients and sending texts to have them confirm they will indeed be coming into the doctor’s office. When it comes to the ER, make sure staff are appropriately educated and trained by checking in the patients and who should be seen first. Also, having the appropriate number of staff per shift will decrease waiting times. By implementing these continuous improvements clinics and hospitals will be able to reduce waiting times, better patient outcomes, and increase patient satisfaction.

**Cuban Discussion**
Mrs. Demetilla Hernandez is a 63-year-old Cuban woman who seeks consultation at the Liberty health-maintenance organization (HMO) clinic because of weakness, lethargy, and fatigue that she has experienced for the last 2 months. A week ago, while cooking dinner at her daughter, Mariana’s house, she momentarily lost her balance and slipped on the kitchen floor. Although Mrs. Hernandez sustained only a mild bruise on her leg, her daughter insisted on taking her to the clinic for a check-up because of her persistent symptoms.
Mrs. Hernandez, widowed 4 years ago when her husband died of a heart attack, lives with Mariana, aged 40. Mariana is divorced and has three children: Luis, age 15; Carolina, age 10; and Sofia, age 7. Since moving into Mariana’s house, Mrs. Hernandez has been managing the household while Mariana is at work. Mrs. Hernandez prepares the family’s meals, attends to the children when they come home from school, and performs light housekeeping chores. Mariana is employed full-time as a supervisor at the local telephone company. The family, originally from Cuba, has been living in Miami for 12 years. Carolina and Sofia were born in Miami, but Luis came from Cuba with his parents when he was 3 years old. Mrs. Hernandez, who does not speak English, converses with her daughter and grandchildren in Spanish. Although the children and their mother occasionally speak English among themselves, the family’s language at home is Spanish.
At the Liberty HMO clinic, Mrs. Hernandez was diagnosed with essential hypertension and non–insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. The physician prescribed an oral hypoglycemic drug and advised Mrs. Hernandez to exercise daily and to limit her food intake to 1500 calories a day. Mrs. Hernandez was concerned because she usually prepares traditional Cuban meals at home and was not sure whether she could tolerate being on a diet. Besides, she explained to Mariana, she thought the dishes she prepares are very “healthy.” Proof of that, she stated, is that her three grandchildren are plump and nice-looking. Mrs. Hernandez told her daughter that, instead of buying the prescribed medicine, perhaps she should go to the
_botanica_ and obtain some herbs that would help lower her blood sugar.
1. What are the typical Cuban communication patterns you need to be aware of in dealing with Mrs. Hernandez?
2. How would you assist Mrs. Hernandez in developing a plan for a 1500-calorie diet and regular exercise?
3. Would you encourage Mrs. Hernandez to go to the
_botanica_ to purchase some herbs? How would you approach her desire to use herbs instead of the prescribed oral hypoglycemic agent?
4. Discuss some common folk practices that Cuban families may use to maintain health or cure common ailments.
