CLAS-talk Listserv

Network with your colleagues on cross cultural health care

CLAS-talk is the email discussion group sponsored by Resources for Cross Cultural Health Care and the DiversityRx website (www.diversityRx.org). Participants can raise issues, ask questions, share information and resources and network with each other around topics related to the design, delivery and evaluation of culturally and linguistically appropriate services (CLAS) in health care. You will also receive updates on new publications, policies and events related to CLAS.
 
Participants can use CLAS-talk to:
  • Share information about new approaches, programs, initiatives and policies related to cultural competence
  • Seek and offer advice on implementing the National Standards for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS) in health care
  • Find support for meeting and overcoming challenges related to designing, funding, and improving cultural competence programs
  • Debate emerging practices, policies, and trends to stimulate new directions in policymaking and service implementation;
  • Explore how to document the clinical and financial benefits of culturally responsive care through evaluation and outcomes-based research.
  • Promote networking among policymakers, funders, provider organizations, and community advocates to improve culturally competent services to diverse populations.
CLAS-talk is open to anyone with an interest in these issues -- we have over 1400 members from the US and around the world. If you’d like to join us as we explore these issues, send an email to the listserv moderator. Please introduce yourself and briefly describe your interest in culturally competent health care.
 
The listserv operates according to standard listserv protocols, which will be sent to each participant when they are added to the membership. Each member of the listserv receives copies of all messages sent to the list (either as individual emails or in digest form). To respond, you simply reply to the listserv, and all members receive your response automatically.
