Recap of the Model Program
The model program proposed in Week 2 was known as Visibility and Accessibility Center (VAC). The main purpose of VAC is to enhance status awareness among the people living diagnosed with chronic conditions as well as those who have not detected their status of chronic ailments. The VAC works closely with state and federal agencies, health care providers, health plans and consumers in order to design and develop programs that offer better services to vulnerable populations. The main vision of the VAC is to reduce premature deaths caused by chronic conditions by at least 20 percent every year in the specific communities being served by the program. This can be achieved through encouragement and rigorous sensitization of the communities to go for early and regular tests in order to determine the absence or presence of a chronic condition hence developing earlier solutions to the problem. Shortly after the flagship, VAC has conducted assessment of the situation of the pilot community being served. During the assessment, VAC discovered that there are certain barriers that impede individuals’ accessibility to healthcare facilities as well as better treatment. The following are the three types of barriers obtained during the research.
Barriers to Affordability and Accessibility of Healthcare Services among the Chronically Ill and Disabled Persons
Micro-level Barriers
One of the micro-level or individual barriers is limited finances. Most of the people assessed by the VAC come from poor neighborhoods where the income-level per person is quite low. Some of the chronically ill and disabled persons studied during the assessment could not afford proper medication due to limited funds (The UN Chronicles, 2015). The chronically ill and disabled persons are also required to obtain primary health care or essential health coverage which assists them in improving health conditions through constant medication. VAC has also discovered that most chronically ill and disabled persons are not covered in various insurance plans. This complicates the situation even further given their financial conditions.
Macro-level Barriers
The macro-level barriers come from state or community regulations to healthcare provisions. One of the barriers that affect provision of health care services among the chronically ill and disabled persons is being undocumented and uninsured especially among the immigrants (Irs.gov, 2015). The undocumented immigrants are basically excluded from state Medicaid expansions as well as purchasing of health insurance the new market places. Apart from being unable to get enrolled in the insurance plans, most immigrants are also low-income earners hence there is limited capacit.
Providing Access for the Undocumented and Families With Mixed Immigration StatusEnroll America
This document discusses strategies for outreaching to mixed-status families and undocumented populations about health insurance options. It emphasizes building trust within communities, collaborating with local partners, understanding community demographics and culture, and empowering community members to lead advocacy efforts. Effective outreach methods include education forums, door-to-door canvassing, phone banking, and developing community health leaders. The goal is to inform all residents about options, address barriers to access, and promote health access for all.
Healthy Food Access: Improve Resident Health. Save Site Money (from Assisted Housing Management Insider)
Residents at assisted sites often have difficulty finding affordable and healthy food. Assisted sites are often located in neighborhoods where food options are limited to convenience stores, liquor stores, or fast food restaurants that offer low-cost but unhealthy snacks and meals. Supermarkets, grocery stores, and other retailers that offer fresh produce and other healthy food choices either may be miles away, making it difficult for residents without transportation to shop for healthier options, or may be too expensive for low-income residents to afford the healthy food.
Indeed, low-income residents who try to buy more produce and other healthy food can spend a disproportionate amount of their monthly income on food, making it more difficult to pay their other expenses. They often must make difficult monthly decisions, whether to use their limited income to buy food or to pay other household expenses, such as their share of the unit’s rent, utilities, healthcare, telephone, and transportation costs to get to or look for work, says Jan Kasameyer, resident services program supervisor at Home Forward, the housing authority in Portland, Ore.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.

1. New York’s Statewide
COVID-19 Relief Efforts
From the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, New York state has taken swift
and extension action to flatten the curve in their community. Because of
these strict stay-at-home orders, the state developed programs to feed
their citizens even if they can’t return to work, don’t have the money or
ability to shop for themselves, and don’t have access to any other
resources. The Get Food NYC program, according to the tagline, is
designed to make sure that every New Yorker has access to “COVID-19
emergency food distribution.”
The relief program’s landing page links visitors to resources, food pantries
and similar charitable organizations, and more.
Food Supply Match
People still struggle to find groceries, especially fresh produce, on shelves
at the market. Get Food NYC wants to connect distribution channels to
residents so that these suppliers can unload excess food that they have but
can’t sell, since so many of their usual buyers are out of business or at least
running on extremely reduced operations. They can unload their extra
inventory while helping out individuals who need fresh produce, but might
not have the time or money to buy these ingredients.
State assistance doesn’t stop once the groceries are on the table. They’re
also connecting New York’s chefs with the public: These top quality cooks
offer tips to people preparing meals at home learn how to make the most
2. of what’s in their pantry. Make your quarantine a little more delicious with
videos from Jake Cohen, Mike Anthony, Sophia Roe and Deb Perelman.
NYC Food Delivery Assistance
To encourage social distancing and further assist people unable to leave
home, Get Food NYC started a delivery program. Eligible persons who can’t
go to the market or receive their own delivery can apply for emergency
meal delivery from the state.
Those who can buy their own groceries can reference a list of delivery and
produce resources. Along with a directory of home delivery platforms both
local and national, Get Food NYC provides an alphabetized list of resources
including a map of community supported agriculture, national online
retailers and meal subscription services. They also take care to mention
additional information such as stores that open early for seniors, if a store is
partnered with a certain app, and organizations that only deliver to a
certain area or a few select boroughs.
AccessNYC
When you need more assistance than Get Food NYC can provide, you can
follow some of their links to determine eligibility for alternative assistance
programs such as SNAP, WIC and Cash Assistance. They redirect visitors to
a myriad of options that can assist New Yorkers regardless of immigration
status, employment status and whether they’re receiving other benefits or
not.
These supplementary options are available through official government
websites to ensure the best assistance program to fit individual needs,
while also providing the most up-to-date information about COVID-19 and
related state mandates.
3. HelpNowNYC
People can donate to the program whether it’s food, money, supplies or
time that they offer. You can find chances to volunteer, donate through the
organization or locate partnership opportunities through their Partners in
Preparedness program which supplies organizations with the knowledge
and skills necessary to remain safe in an emergency.
Unlike many relief programs, Get Food NYC accepts medical supplies to
support the efforts and lack of resources in healthcare facilities around the
city. They’re also asking healthcare workers to volunteer their services, even
offering to pay for flights and hotels for out-of-state workers who can travel
to help. Non-healthcare workers can volunteer with New York Cares, a
massive statewide volunteer organization supporting nonprofits and
schools around New York.
Locate additional tools for individuals and organizations. For example,
people can find resources regarding employment, food, health and
medical assistance, help with rent or housing, emotional and spiritual
support, financial assistance and more. You can even get help with issues
like wifi, animal welfare, veterans’ and disability services. Organizations can
use these links to connect with nonprofits that assist with COVID-19 related
activities such as coordinating volunteers and implementing safety
guidelines; small businesses can get help with loans, grants and the
Paycheck Protection Program; and they can find resources for questions,
contacts, help with funerals and much more. The Get Food NYC website
has compiled an extensive list of resources to help people affected by the
COVID-19 crisis in every possible way.
According to the official New York government website, city programs have
provided over 12M meals since the crisis began. As the pandemic continues
to guide statewide activity and New Yorkers stay locked down in
4. compliance with official guidelines, the state will provide residents with the
basic necessities they need to survive and stay safe.
Check out their website for more information on the resources available to
you as well as other ways you can get and receive help. These efforts won’t
stop until the pandemic is over, and every New Yorker deserves a warm
meal tonight.
