Key Note SPEAKER
"Your Cultural Competency Compass: Follow the Yellow Brick Road" Melanie Prince RN, MSN, RN-BC, CCM, President, Case Management Society of America
Melanie A. Prince, is the President, Case Management Society of America (2020 – 2022) and American Academy of Nursing Fellow. Retired as an Air Force Colonel, Melanie has diverse experience in population health, case, disease and utilization management, public policy, trauma/violence prevention and organizational leadership. A native of Louisiana but a worldwide traveler, Melanie documents the lived experiences of cultural influences on niche communities’ motivations to access care, cultural contributions to health disparities and social determinants of health. A certified case manager and nurse executive, she holds Master’s Degrees in Adult Health Nursing Case Management and Military Strategic Studies.
Cultural Competency is a lifelong educational and developmental endeavor influenced by social/societal change, population migration, cultural beliefs and emotional intelligence. This interactive presentation will include concepts, challenges to conventional wisdom and “points to ponder” as the audience charts their path toward a journey of cultural enlightenment that will advance professional practice.
• LEARNING OBJECTIVES: 1. Utilize the principles of respect of patient rights, inherent dignity, objectivity as outlined in CCMC’s Code of Professional Conduct when encountering the ethical challenges faced by case managers when interacting with culturally diverse populations 2. Debate how societal trends, social change and population migration influences cultural “norms”, beliefs and health system interactions, including the current COVID-19 pandemic 3. Analyze unconscious bias and its impact on communication, goal setting and social determinants of health 4. Justify the need for systematic evaluation of a culturally competent professional health staff.
