Abstract
The Joint Commission's recommendation for organizations to diversify a homogenous workforce to mirror their patient population has been instrumental in shaping diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts in healthcare [1]. These initiatives strive to counteract forces, such as implicit bias and microaggressions, that perpetuate stereotypes and disparities in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of medical conditions. Pain management is a subset of healthcare that is notably impacted by disparate patient approach, consideration, and treatment. To ensure culturally competent, individualized, and effective pain management, healthcare organizations must actively pursue care pathways to increase cultural responsiveness, organizational diversity, and inclusive cultures. Efforts must be systemic, infiltrating and underlying the organization's mission, vision, and values; a model being introduced in this paper, Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Pain Management (CLAP-M).
