dc.description.abstractEmergency departments (ED) serve diverse populations, making it essential to deliver equitable, high-quality care to all patients, regardless of their cultural or ethnic backgrounds. However, the fast-paced, high-stress environment of EDs, combined with challenges such as language barriers and cultural biases, often impedes this goal. These obstacles have been widely recognized as significant barriers to effective care. Addressing these challenges, as highlighted in the literature, can empower EDs and emergency care providers to enhance patient care quality, promote equity, and ultimately reduce adverse patient outcomes.en
