What is the meaning of diversity in a health and social care setting?
Very nice, my specialty Diversity is very important to bridging the gap in healthcare. In order for healthcare systems to treat populations effectively, healthcare professionals need to understand how cultural differences impact when, how, why people seek medical care. People living in poverty are less likely to seek medical attention until it becomes uncontrolable, landing them in the ER. Diversity is important because individuals can prevent serious health problems with brief interventions. In order to get them in the door you have "to meet the client where he/she is". If your targeted population doesn't come out to diabetes testing at a local health center, the professionals need to look at obstacles residents face in going in for health services. When diversity becomes an integral part of treatment, health outcomes are more positve because real-life situations become more valid and are taken into consideration in a treatment plan. If healthcare professionals apply the same treatment methods to everybody, many people will be left out because cultural barriers, and individuality are not considered in treatment.

What is quaternary healthcare? How does it differ from tertiary healthcare?
Tertiary and Quarternary Healthcare refer to specialized care available in referral centers and very rarely accessible to the general public. From Wikipedia:Tertiary care is specialized consultative health care, usually for inpatients and on referral from a primary or secondary health professional, in a facility that has personnel and facilities for advanced medical investigation and treatment, such as a tertiary referral hospital.Examples of tertiary care services are cancer management, neurosurgery, cardiac surgery, plastic surgery, treatment for severe burns, advanced neonatology services, palliative, and other complex medical and surgical interventions.Quaternary careThe term quaternary care is sometimes used as an extension of tertiary care in reference to advanced levels of medicine which are highly specialized and not widely accessed. Experimental medicine and some types of uncommon diagnostic or surgical procedures are considered quaternary care. These services are usually only offered in a limited number of regional or national health care centres. A quaternary care hospital may have virtually any procedure available, whereas a tertiary care facility may not offer a sub-specialist with that training.
