Let’s first define what exactly diversity, equity, and inclusion mean:
DIVERSITY is understanding the background of persons served including culture, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, and socioeconomic status, as well as hiring and retaining a workforce that is representative of a diverse population. EQUITY is ensuring the care delivery team has the necessary resources to effectively do their jobs, and persons served are empowered in and out of treatment settings to optimally benefit from best treatment practices. INCLUSION is giving both care teams and persons served a voice to help provide, receive, and influence high-quality care delivery and encourage a diverse healthcare staff in the treatment experience of patients.
