Qualitative data suggest that components and strategies of culturally competent healthcare were appreciated by patients and providers.Ĭitation: Handtke O, Schilgen B, Mösko M (2019) Culturally competent healthcare – A scoping review of strategies implemented in healthcare organizations and a model of culturally competent healthcare provision. The overall effects on patient outcomes and utilization rates of identified components or strategies were positive but often small or not significant. A model integrating the results is proposed. Identified strategies and components of culturally competent healthcare extracted from these studies were clustered into twenty categories, which were organized in four groups: Components of culturally competent healthcare–Individual level Components of culturally competent healthcare–Organizational level Strategies to implement culturally competent healthcare and Strategies to provide access to culturally competent healthcare. Sixty-seven studies implementing culturally competent healthcare interventions were included in the final synthesis.

PICO criteria were adapted to formulate the research question and to systematically choose relevant search terms. A systematic literature search was carried out using three databases (Pubmed, PsycINFO and Web of Science) to identify studies which have implemented and evaluated cultural competence interventions in healthcare facilities.
