How Does
CultureVision® Work?
Let's say a patient of Hmong descent comes into labor and delivery. You want to know if there are any specific cultural traits or patterns that you should consider. What are the pertinent questions to ask? Are there any medications or diseases that are particularly relevant to this group? You simply log onto the CultureVision® website, click on to the "Hmong/Laotian" section, and click "Labor, Birth and Aftercare." Just that quickly you have the information you are looking for, and within minutes you are contributing to a better healthcare experience for your patient.
