Practice Gaps and Needs
Evidence-based approaches addressing health disparities for Native Americans, such as methods and strategies for integrating health care services, are not well known or routinely implemented into current systems. Members of the healthcare team have a unique position and perspective that makes it important for them to be allies and advocates for Native Americans. To be an effective ally, members of the interprofessional team need to know the why, how, and foundations of Tribal community healthcare initiatives.
Only about 10% of the nurses working in Tribal Clinics identify as Native American while nearly 100% of the patients are Native American. Native Americans comprise about 2% of the Wisconsin population while Native American nurses in Wisconsin comprise only about .05% of the nursing workforce. Additionally, a 2018 report found that just one percent of graduates from the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health identified as entirely or partially American Indian or Alaska Native over the previous 37 years.
This year's summit focuses on values and ethics for interprofessional healthcare teams and interprofessional communication, and promoting comprehensive, trauma informed, and culturally safe care for all Native Americans. Summit speakers will highlight various aspects of comprehensive care such as equine-based healing, forensic nursing care and maternal child health nursing, and healing through movement.
