interdependent and inseparable. Individualized care recognizes the uniqueness of each
w w w w w w w w w w
patient’s preferences, condition, and physiologic and psychosocial status. Cultural
w w w w w w w w w
diversity in health care is not a new topic, but it is gaining emphasis and importance as
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w
the world becomes more accessible to all as the result of increasing technologies and
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w
interfaces with places and peoples. Interdisciplinary care is care among a variety of
w w w w w w w w w w w w w
health care professionals with the patient’s health as the common goal.
