Cross-Cultural Negotiation

Meaning

Cross-Cultural Negotiation in clinical practice is the collaborative process where the healthcare provider and the patient work together to modify or adapt a proposed therapeutic regimen to honor the patient’s deeply held cultural, religious, or personal values without compromising the clinical integrity of the treatment. This is particularly relevant in hormonal health where interventions, such as bioidentical hormone therapy or specific dietary changes, may conflict with established cultural norms or practices.
