Read the following scenario:

Scenario:

The city in which you work has undergone a significant population shift within the last 10 years, due to increased employment, education opportunities, and an influx of immigrants and refugees.

To put the population shift in perspective, the local school district enrollment report states that nearly 100 languages are spoken in the schools, up from 32 languages in the last census. Senior leadership has asked you to examine all types of multiculturalism and diversity within your health care organization.

Analyze the impact of a diverse workforce on patient outcomes.

In what ways or situations might multiculturalism and diversity impact health care delivery or patient outcomes?

How is diversity defined in the organization?
