"There are countless conflicts that occur in the health-care delivery arenas predicated on cultural misunderstandings. Albeit, many of these misunderstandings are related to universal situations, such as verbal and nonverbal language mis-interactions, phasing of interactions, objectivity, and so forth; there are, however, countless cultural misunderstandings unique to the delivery of health care. The neccessity to provide CulturalCare—professional health care that is culturally appropriate, and culturally competent—is essential as we enter the new millennium, and this demands that providers must be able to assess and interpret the given patient's health beliefs and practices. CulturalCare alters the perspective of health-care delivery as it enables the provider to understand, from a cultural perspective, the manifestations of the patients's HEALTH-care beliefs and practices." —Preface
