What is meant by health service adaptation?

0

Adaptation of health services means redesigning, reorienting or modifying existing programs and services to ensure that they are both available and appropriate to meet the needs of all Aboriginal peoples. Examples of adaptation activities include: • Adapting mental health and addictions programs for Aboriginal peoples in provincial/territorial health and wellness strategies; • Involving First Nations, Inuit and Métis people in the establishment of advisory councils with the goal of enhancing the cultural competency of provincial or territorial health employees; • Developing databases and resource guides of provincial or territorial wide health programs and services to increase awareness and access by urban Aboriginal people; and • Consulting with communities to ensure health services are better suited to the culture of the Inuit within existing provincial/territorial programs and services.
