Introduction to DEIB Case Studies (Nursing)

00:00 Now, it's time to talk about a very important issue in the health care system. Health Equity.

00:06 The National Academy of Sciences released a document the future of nursing 2020, 2030 charting a path to achieve health equity.

00:15 Within this report, they describe how nurses, the largest component of the health care system can truly make a difference by promoting health equity.

00:27 Health Equity, and equality are not the same thing.

00:31 Health Equity really requires the nurses and all health care members to meet our clients as individual and as diverse as they are, where they are.

00:41 So we take into account all abilities, ages, racial backgrounds, ethnicities, religion, and we make sure that we are providing quality care to all not the same care, but equitable care.

00:54 Next, we're going to introduce you to several cases.

00:58 I want to preface this introduction by saying that we're going to use examples from underrepresented groups.

01:04 But it's not important that we cover every identity, because we want to make sure that you're using principles of asking clients, what they need, what they want, how they want it, and what they understand and make that a part of your regular practice with all clients.

01:20 You're going to get different answers, and that's the point being open. That's the point.

01:26 We're going to try it here so that you can actually practice it when you get out there.
