These rights include “ respecting and acknowledging one ’ s psychosocial, spiritual and cultural values and how they impact a patient ’ s response to their care. ” “ Patients have a fundamental right to considerate care that safeguards their personal dignity and respects their cultural, psychosocial and spiritual values. ” (1998)

A hospital must embed effective communication, cultural competence and patient and family centered practices into the core activities of its system of care delivery – not considering them stand alone initiatives – to truly meet the needs of the patients, families and communities served. The Joint Commission views effective communication, cultural competence and patient-and family-centered care as an important components of safe, quality care.

The standards will be published in the 2011 Comprehensive Accreditation Manual for Hospitals (CAMH): The Official Handbook. The roadmap provides methods for hospitals to begin or improve upon their efforts to ensure that all patients receive the same high quality care.
