Abstract

This quality improvement project strives to address persistent disparities in healthcare. Despite ongoing efforts to improve healthcare access and quality for minority groups in the United States, disparities based on race and ethnicity persist, affecting African Americans, Latinos, and the LGBTQ community. A one-hour training session on Embracing Cultural Humility, aligned with the ‘Improving Cultural Competency for Behavioral Health Professionals’ (ICC for BHP) training developed by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, targeted behavioral health professionals. Implemented in three Oregon behavioral health clinics from June 2023 to March 2024, the project involved psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners (PMHNPs), Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) technicians, and administrative staff. Focusing on awareness, knowledge, and skills, the project aimed to enhance cultural sensitivity by 25%.
