Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Hospital Services Reduce Medicare Length of Stay.

Discussion: Our findings demonstrate that patient outcomes are responsive to culturally and linguistically appropriate services. Further, our findings suggest understanding of culturally competent care in hospitals is lacking. A larger and multi-level sample across the United States could yield a greater understanding of the role of culturally and linguistically appropriate care for a rapidly growing population of diverse older adults.
