There are going to be new policies put into effect and because of this some of the residents will be forced to move to a different place or displaced. To make matters even worse, some of the residents have difficulty communicating, have no local family, and have not indicated that they approve the release of their medical information. The subject of this paper is to discuss the situation concerning the nursing home and the residents, and to make arrangements for these individuals, the advantages and disadvantages of using traditional, electronic, and social media for health care communication. This paper will also discuss the effects of HIPAA and other regulations on the use of these media for health care communication. Different types of communication methods used in nursing homes The health care organization used in this scenario is nursing home.
Do not apply for a managed health care plan. Although it may be a less expensive health care plan, it is not the best type of health care. The quality of the treatment an individual with managed care may be provided is sometimes terrible and is often times unnecessary. Many times a patient with managed care will receive treatment from many different physicians. They may never see the same doctor twice.
Financial Barriers: financial barriers occur to many different people for many different reasons. This can be because someone is on low income and they have to travel by bus or train for their appointment, they would not have enough money to get to one place. Some one that is over the age of 18 year would have to pay for their medication if they’re not on income and this can be hard if this person is not working. Also if they want to see the dentist they would have to pay for their treatment. Cultural and Language Barriers: cultural and language is one thing that stops people from accessing any health care service because English may not be that persons first language and there is no way they can communicate with the doctor/nurse, because English is not there first language they may not know what services is available to them out there.
Treatments such as medications, surgical procedures, psychotherapy and in some instances spiritual guidance and so on. Ending one’s life should not be performed simply because a patient is depressed, or feels as though he or she is a burden, worried about being dependant or just tired of life. Diversity in the United States is among the greatest in the developed world, because of this- it’s difficult to share norms and enforce them. In some cultures and religions taking one’s life is unacceptable and forbidden and in others so long as there is justification then and only then would it be considered just. Assisted suicide is currently illegal in most states in the United States.
Physical barriers: Physical barriers are something like not being able to walk. This means that one cannot get around like other people. This can cause problems if someone needs to go to the doctors or hospital for a check up. Physical barriers may include: • Inadequate access to buildings for service users with poor mobility or wheelchair users. • Service users too weak as a result of illness to attend a health facility.
Programs are needed to bring the people out to obtain better healthcare in rural areas but again the disparities they face are a stopping force. Because of this many interventionists fail to see the Return on Investment. Often more time, effort, finances and energy is put into providing quality healthcare in these areas. It is hard for the interventionists to see there ROI in the beginning. As the article stated the ROI is often seen many years later, being focused on certain health issues.
Homeless are Vulnerable Population Robin C. Cameron NUR/440 August 2, 2010 Pauline Rodger Homeless are Vulnerable Population It is estimated that 13.5 million people in the United States have been homeless at point to another. Homeless population is susceptible for poor health and overcrowded shelters, which makes this population at higher risk to communicable diseases. The homeless with pre-existing medical condition not medical treated will have a higher risk of complication. Therefore, this creates a fault line in our health care system for us to help the homeless population (O'Connell, Oppenheimer, Judge, Taube, Blanchfield, Swain, & Koh, 2010). To help the homeless population we will review what constitutes a vulnerable population along with looking at what barriers this population may have to prevent them from seeking help.
Many argue that a person can’t demonstrate practical rationality when they request to die. This is considered to be an irrational thought and not one to determine life or death upon (Wittwer, 2013, pp. 419-427). Another concern is the financial burden one might inherently pass on to their loved ones due to the high medical expenses that are associated with treatment (Cook, 2014, pp. 26-29).
The aforementioned advantages cannot be realized if the business operates as nonprofit entity since it will rely on the community for its operations and hence lack the ability and capacity to offer quality medical services. Nonprofit health care organizations depend on volunteers who in most cases do not have enough experience in the health sector. Nonprofit organizations also suffer from poor management and leadership styles which subsequently lead to their failure (Cutler, McClellan & Newhouse, 2000). Create a contract structure, including four (4) necessary clauses, for inclusion for medical staff for this facility. 1.
For example, negotiating a complex health care system is almost impossible for many. Despite their heavy burden of illness, they lack access primary or preventive health services. In addition, transportation to and from medical appointments is often impossible because of timing and expense. Health cards, prescriptions and integrated health services are not usually within their grasp, although health and social policy dictates that they are entitled to these benefits. As a consequence, often the only health care homeless people receive is through the emergency department, which is costly and ineffective.” (Turnbull, Muckle, & Masters,
