Datapoint: UCare Partners With Violet to Train Providers in Cultural Competency
UCare, the largest managed Medicaid insurer in Minnesota, is partnering with tech company Violet to improve inclusivity and cultural competency in its care delivery. Violet’s training platform educates health care providers on health disparities and best practices that can improve clinical outcomes for culturally diverse patients. “Violet’s equity-centered, community-specific courses offer tools for our clinicians and non-clinical staff to learn, ask questions about what works or doesn’t work, for whom and why and identify new ways to provide inclusive care for our members,” UCare Health Equity Officer Pleasant Radford, Jr. said in a statement. UCare currently serves 354,910 Medicaid beneficiaries in Minnesota.
