Abstract

Flagstaff Medical Center (FMC) is a primary referral center for its surrounding Native American (NA) communities. As such, FMC has a unique patient population with distinctive needs related to culture and available resources. This executive summary explores the provision of quality care to NA populations by discussing the execution of a clinician focused education needs assessment, implementation of an education program based upon this data, and synthesis of the experience to provide institutional recommendations for ongoing efforts to optimize the care of NA patients from a cultural and resource perspective.
