​​​​​​​​​Cultural and Linguistic Competency & Health Literacy
 
In 2005, the Maryland Office of Minority Health and Health Disparities received a five-year grant from the federal Office of Minority Health as part of the State Partnership Grant Program. The State Partnership Grant Program seeks to facilitate the improvement of minority health and elimination of health disparities. For more information on the State Partnership Grant Program and the state grantees, please visit http://www.omhrc.gov/templates/content.aspx?ID=3166.
 
The Maryland Office of Minority Health and Health Disparities’ new grant initiative targets two areas: (1) diversifying matriculation from health professional schools; and (2) implementing a comprehensive evaluation program aiming to achieve system change in the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene to increase the focus by the state and local health departments on reducing health disparities.
 

The Workforce Diversity Initiative activities focus on: 

  • Developing partnerships with health professions schools

  • Collaborating on issues of recruitment; data collection and monitoring and cultural competency training

  • Developing and conducting on-going awareness campaign

  • Serving as a clearinghouse for national and state-based resources  

For questions relating to the Workforce Diversity Initiative at MHHD, or to alert us to other exciting news on Workforce Diversity please contact our office. ​

Working Toward Health Equity In Maryland

Maryland's Office of Minority Health and Health Disparities works to promote health equity among African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic/Latino Americans, and Native Americans toward improving the health of all Marylanders.
 

Implementing the Maryland Health Improvement and Disparities Reduction Act of 2012

MHHD, Maryland Community Health Resources Commission (MCHRC) and the Department are working to implement a new law to reduce health disparities in the state, improve health outcomes such as infant mortality, obesity and cancer and lower health cost and hospital readmissions. 

  • Creates Health Enterprise Zones (HEZs) where underserved communities will be saturated with primary care providers and other essential health care services
  • Standardizes collection of data on race and ethnicity in health care and ensures carriers are working to track and reduce disparities
  • Requires hospitals to describe their efforts to track and reduce health care disparities
  • Sets criteria for health care providers on cultural competency and health literacy training and continuing education  

The Maryland Office of Minority Health and Health Disparities provides consultation to the Health Secretary in implementing the Act.

Health Disparities Reduction Initiative
 
 
Governor Martin O’Malley signed Senate Bill 234 officially known as the Maryland Health Improvement and Disparities Reduction Act of  2012 on April 10, 2012. MHHD, the Maryland Community Health Resources Commission (MCHRC) and the Department are working to implement the Act.
 
This historic legislation is the first of its kind and seeks to reduce health disparities among Maryland’s racial and ethnic groups and geographic areas, improve health care access and health outcomes in underserved communities, and reduce health care costs by establishing a Health Enterprise Zones (HEZ) pilot program.
 
The following are crucial legislated components that must not be overlooked as the Act  is being implemented:
 
  • Requires the Maryland Health Care Commission (MHCC) to establish a report card and incorporate measures regarding racial and ethnic variations in quality and outcomes; 
  • Hospitals community benefits report must track and reduce health disparities for community served;
  • Higher institutions must report on actions taken to reduce health disparities;
  • Health Services Cost Review Commission (HSCRC) and MHCC must study the feasibility of including racial and ethnic performance date in tracking hospitals performance;
  • MHCC must develop recommendations for criteria and standards to measure the impact of Maryland Patient Centered Medical Homes on eliminating disparities in health outcomes; and
  • Maryland Health Quality and Cost Review Council (MHQCC) must convene a workgroup to examine standards for cultural and linguistic competency.
