Overview: Hispanic patients usually prefer to take care of their basic medical needs in solo practitioners' offices and small medical centers. where they find the respect and attention that large establishments deny them. Renowned experts of Quality in Health care have been critical of the current design and implementation of randomized clinical trials, the gold standard of clinical research, because they believe that they often, but not always, presume a linear, mechanistic system when in fact improvement in Health care takes place within complex adaptive systems that evolve.
They claim that care interventions must adapt to difficult contexts, which are often at odds with the concept of improvement health care delivery as a fixed set of activities, which can be studied through controlled clinical trials. We believe that the design and implementation of modern clinical trials must take into account the complexity and diversity of our patient populations and their different responses to the continuity of care and monitoring techniques. Not only there is need for evidence-based practice but also for "practice based evidence" that allow flexible learning to obtain acceptable outcomes. In a continuous loop that starts in the first stages of clinical research, goes through all the different stages of clinical trials, continues in the clinical care settings and goes back to the minds that initially proposed the studies, all the different actors and participants feed each other with positive feedback info. The combined action of ignorance and prejudice can impair the efficient recruitment and retaining of "different people" like Hispanics that have long suffered sustained, mendacious discrimination in their access to basic health care services for care and prevention of diseases.
The front desk staff is always the first responder to their particular needs, often expressed in non-traditional forms of expression, and should be carefully trained to avoid the most common pitfalls and misunderstandings. III The professionals-nurses, technicians, physicians-in direct contact with these patients must anticipate the emergency of some controversial issues and negative feedback that can, and will, sabotage a continued participation. The constrictive corset of political correctness in our society can discourage the honest discussion and remedy of critical issues such as patient apathy, dishonesty, and more commonly a claimed ignorance of GPC guidelines. Reacting to the longstanding critique that the clinical trials are skewed to favour the participation of only certain segments of the population, the FDA has enacted an "Action plan to enhance the Collection and Availability of Demographic subgroup data" in order to prodd the inclusion of Minority patients in the design and implementation of clinical research.
Why should you Attend: Based on our long experience of treating Hispanic and patients in "New Life Medical Center", a Primary Care and Community Mental Health center in Miami, Florida, we will discuss the more common obstacles found in the final pursuit of good clinical outcomes for them. We will focus on the practical steps to assure an effective and equitable approach for the health care needs of these patients and the unbiased monitoring for compliance with internationally accepted regulations. As health care practitioners and administrators that must respond quickly to a changing health care arena, we will discuss case studies and enact role plays to illustrate the most common problems and the needed solutions.
Areas Covered in the Session:
Distinguish the more common scenarios that jeopardize the proper recruitment and participation of Hispanics Illustrate with case studies the counterproductive arguments and enticements in the approach to non-cooperative Hispanics Describe the basic tenets of Competency CLAS guidelines in a changing and polymorphous health care arena in our modern society
