title: Advancing Organizational Cultural Competency With Dissemination and Implementation Frameworks: Towards Translating Standards into Clinical Practice.
abstract: Substantial public health efforts have been activated to reduce health disparities and ensure health equity for patients through the provision of culturally and linguistically appropriate services; yet associated policies and standards are sluggishly translating into practice. Little attention and resources have been dedicated to translation of public health policies into practice settings. Dissemination and implementation is presented as an active, strategic approach to enhance uptake of public health standards; reviews dissemination and implementation concepts; poses a systematic model to adoption, implementation, and dissemination; and concludes with recommendations for hospital-based implementation teams and complementary interprofessional collaboration.
