Week 5Nurse-managed health centers and clinics are providing care at more convenient
locations. Please explain the need for this change, benefits, and possible solutions to any
obstacles.Reply 1 KristopherThe practice of nursing has changed in many ways.
Advancements in technology and diversification of roles have propagated notable changes
in nurse-managed health centers and clinics. Remarkably, one of the most perceptible
changes in this field is the establishment of more convenient locations in which health
practitioners can attend to patients better. For instance, the inception of mobile health
clinics has revolutionized the practice of nursing by enabling more flexible and treatment
options (Andrews, 2016). Additionally, home-based care has also proved to be a viable
treatment solution at a location that is different from conventional health facilities. It is
prudent to note that these changes are necessary as they present diverse benefits to both
patients and health practitioners.Health institutions can regularly deploy mobile clinics to
reach patients who are cut off from access to health centers. With mobile clinics, it is easy to
reach isolated groups and newly displaced populations (Hill et al., 2014). The World Health
Organization (WHO) is known for using mobile clinics to provide treatment services to such
groups. The primary advantage of mobile care is that it is accessible and affordable for most
patients.Notably, there are some obstacles to the aforementioned changes. For instance,
setting up a mobile clinic can be expensive (Abbasi et al., 2016), there can be a lack of
security, and neighborhoods which mobile clinics are dispatched to maybe dangerous.
However, hospitals can mitigate this challenge by seeking the intervention of government
agencies and non-governmental organizations for private donations. Also, providing
security or informing local law inforcement of mobile clinic days and hours of operation
may provide a partnership between the two departments.Reply 2 KaoriThe typical image of
a “nurse or NP owned business” would be small, convenient, flexible, and nursing centered.
It is hard to see a big name and lucrative business in that area, especially in CA. Currently in
CA, NPs are unable to work independently. NPs can work only under the supervision of
MDs. If House Bill 890 which would make the NP’s independence possible, could pass in
future, CA NPs would have more flexibility as business owners.One NP start-up company
got $45 million dollars this year. The company, IntelyCare, was co-founded by Chris
Caulfield, a Nurse Practitioner. It is the biggest venture capital investment in nursing history
(“Nurse practitioner’s startup receives $45million – the largest nursing investment ever,”
n.d.). We, nurses are not trained business owners. We would have a hard time to own and
2. operate a health care business, given our educational background. However, our world is
changing. If a business model or concept fit to the demands, any business would have a
chance to succeed like IntelyCare.One more rebuttal· In your rebuttals, argue against the
