When people think of accessibility — if they think about it at all — it’s in terms of a static states — ability versus disability, abled versus disabled. But ability doesn’t work like that. People don’t work that way. We’re creatures of our context: moment to moment and always in flux. In this talk, I’ll explore the separation between impairment and disability, how our context frames our (dis)abilites. I’ll suggest new ways to think about creating for access, speaking from my experience as a late deafened adult. From my research and experience in communications access, I’ll stretch the boundaries communications abilities beyond the deaf and hard of hearing into elastic audiences.

Community Health Assessment
Toggle Drawer
Overview
Write a 2 page report on the concepts, processes, and tools needed to conduct a community health assessment, how to find the data, and how to validate the data. Explain the factors that can affect the health of a community, along with how to obtain that information.
Understanding community and state health care issues and concerns, the local resources available, and accessibility of those resources can inform health care practices and improve quality patient outcomes.
SHOW LESS
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
· Competency 2: Describe the concepts, processes, and tools required to conduct comprehensive health assessments for individuals, families, communities, and populations.
. Describe the data necessary to make an informed community health assessment.
. Explain a strategy for obtaining data and how data helps determine the health needs of a community.
. Explain how to establish the validity and reliability of data used in a community health assessment.
· Competency 3: Explain the internal and external factors that can affect the health of individuals, families, communities, and populations.
. Explain how to obtain information on and what the factors are that affect the health and wellness of a community.
· Competency 4: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with expectations of a nursing professional.
. Write content clearly and logically with correct use of grammar, punctuation, APA formatting, and mechanics.

· Context
· Social and lifestyle behaviors can affect health. In fact, some would argue that many, if not most, health risks can be mitigated through lifestyle and behavioral changes. With this in mind, the health care provider must be aware of the socioeconomic factors and the lifestyle factors present in a population.
· SHOW LESS
· Both social and cultural factors influence many lifestyle factors. Living environment, housing conditions, employment factors, diet, and cultural beliefs all play a role in a person's levels of risk and resulting health. The nursing assessment must include these social influences as part of the domain necessary for evaluation and inclusion in the assessment approach, and integrate a framework for analysis, which includes all the social milieus associated with each dimension.
· Evidence-based health assessments are done using health data from private and public organizations. There are many opportunities for gathering health data in a community, through public health systems and through private records, where approval has been obtained from participants.
· Collecting primary data must involve informed consent. Secondary sources can also be used by obtaining aggregate data from health plans and health care providers that do not include personalized demographic data. Each of these data sources .
1. Key to the ABCD method is the use of partnerships
and/or collaborations to create opportunities, to solve
problems, or to fulfill needs within the community. The
method calls for the drafting and the utilization of an asset
map of organizations and associations within the
community to serve as a springboard for making crucial
connections within the community for possible
collaborations or partnerships.
Utilizing the asset mapping technique, the Pampa
United Way was singled out as the first initial contact
within the community. The United Way was crucial in
defining the issue and pointed the way to other potential
collaborators — both present and future — for the
proposed community project collaboration.
THE PROCESS
The goal: Utilize Asset-Based Community
Development in conjunction with a fictitious medical
library dubbed Top Of Texas Regional Medical Library.
Apply the method to identify and to address a specific
medical/health related need within the community
specific to the library. In this case, the library’s
constituency consists of the real-life community of
Pampa and surrounding Gray County, Texas.
The ABCD method approaches community
development through the lens of the hopes, the dreams,
and/or the needs of the community as described in the
text “Building Communities from the Inside Out: A Path
Toward Finding and Mobilizing a Community’s Assets”
by John P. Kretzmann and John L. McKnight. The
ABCD method takes its cues from the community, and,
therefore, calls for solutions or projects to then be
addressed within the community using the strengths of
the community to forge collaborations and partnerships.
These collaborations then create solutions or
opportunities to the betterment and to the empowerment
of the community as a whole.
Title: Navigating Obama Care — A Proposed
Collaborative Resource
Purpose: The purpose of this project is 1) to identify a
health-related need, issue, or problem within a specific
community using the Asset-Based Community
Development assessment (ABCD) method, and 2) to
create a plan or proposal to address the need, issue, or
problem.
Population: The focus for the project is the citizens of
Pampa, Texas, and surrounding Gray County, Texas.
Methods: The project, which followed the ABCD
method to assessment, took shape through interaction
with the community and through interviews with key
community organizations and leaders.
Outcome: The projected outcome is the realization of a
tool to assist community members in navigating the
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act Website.
Implications: It is hoped the proposed collaboration
would strengthen the community by forging new
partnerships and/or collaborations among organizations
while providing a much needed health care resource.

Services Management with Dr. Carol Perryman
COMMUNITY
Individual interviews were conducted with
representatives from the following organizations:
• Pampa United Way
• Pampa Regional Medical Center
• HCFS, and
• Clarendon College-Pampa Center.
Each expressed a willingness to collaborate
with other organizations on community service
projects and supported the need for the
proposed navigational tool or resource.
The proposed tool would consist of a series of brief
video presentations focusing on certain facets of the
Website along with links to other resources. The following
list is a breakdown of the proposed collaboration based on
the information derived from the interviews:
• The fictitious library would coordinate outside
resources to supplement the tool as well as coordinate
and host a series of townhall meetings for community-
wide input concerning the resource;
• The hospital and HCFS would provide knowledge of
the national Website;
• The college would provide technological services in the
form of a series of video presentations;
• The United Way would promote community awareness
of the tool through the agencies it serves and through its
contact with individual community members.
