The American Heart Association and hypertension
Introduction
The American Heart Association and hypertension is a non-profit making organization that is mandated by the federal government to create a medical awareness program about heart and hypertension conditions among the United States residents. The main aim of initiating this activity is to help in solving health issues relating to heart and hypertension cases that are currently common in different parts of the United States.
DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
The American Heart Association and hypertension program aim at creating outreach awareness about heart diseases and disorders and hypertension conditions. The process of creating public awareness will tend to reach a large number of people from areas to inner cities where most people reside. A mobile health care promotion program will use a public address to announce to invite the public to come for free heart and hypertension screening. The screening process will involve testing members of the public who will make to mobile screening centers.
Currently, there are various cases relating to heart and hypertension cases in different states in the United States. Statistically, the aging population is the most affected groups which have been reporting cases of heart and hypertension disorders. Usually, it is challenging to detect these conditions at early stages (Huebner, Milgrom, Mancl, Smolen, Sutherland, Weinstein & Riedy, 2014). As such, this has led to many deaths since many cases are detected when the disease is at an advanced stage, which is challenging to treat. Therefore, this program is essential because it will help in assisting members of the public in knowing whether they are suffering from such conditions. In doing so, this will help to initiate early medical actions to help in reducing the number of deaths associated to heart and hypertension conditions.
Description of Mobile Health Promotion Outreach Program
Community Health Programs (CHPs) are increasingly regarded as an integral component of primary healthcare (Schneider, 2019). The organizations senior leadership asked a team of medical professionals to put together a mobile health promotion outreach program able to reach a diverse population from inner-city areas to rural communities with a focus on promoting and providing screening activities for The American Heart Association (AHA) and Hypertension. AHA is the world’s leading voluntary organization dedicated to building healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases, and partner in building healthier communities (2018). AHA branded health screenings conducted at a community-based health events designed to help consumers become aware of their personal health risk factors, ...

1) Population trends like an aging population and increasing chronic diseases will increase demands on the healthcare system and costs. Treating seniors and managing chronic conditions requires more resources.
2) Geographic disparities exist in disease prevalence across US regions. For example, Southern states have higher rates of HIV/AIDS than other areas. Treating concentrated health issues in certain locations also impacts resource needs.
3) Psychographic trends like increasing sedentary lifestyles are linked to higher risks of obesity, diabetes, and other chronic conditions, raising healthcare costs to treat and manage these issues. Meeting new demands from population changes requires planning healthcare delivery and financing.

People of all ages, from infants to the elderly, as well as those with physical, mental, or social challenges, may be included. The purpose of community health nursing is to promote the health and well-being of the entire community by addressing the health needs of its individual members (Rector & Stanley, 2021). Community health nurses work with clients to identify and address health risks, provide health and wellness education, and connect clients to suitable health services.

Individuals and families may be eligible for a variety of government resources depending on their circumstances. Some of these resources are intended specifically for people with low incomes or who are experiencing financial hardship, while others are open to anyone who meets certain criteria.

1. Medicaid: It is a federal-state partnership program that provides health insurance to low-income individuals and families. Individuals must meet income and asset limits, as well as other requirements, to be eligible.
2. Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP): It is a federally funded program that provides health insurance to low-income children that are not eligible for Medicaid but cannot afford private health insurance. It provides coverage for a variety of medical services, such as preventive care, doctor visits, hospital stays, and prescription medications. Eligibility is determined by income and family size.
3. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP): It is also known as food stamps and it provides financial assistance to low-income individuals and families in order for them to purchase food. Income and assets, as well as other factors, determine SNAP eligibility.
4. Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF): This program helps low-income families with children by providing financial assistance as well as other services such as job training and childcare. Income and assets, as well as other factors, determine TANF eligibility.
5. Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP): It is program funded by the federal government that provides low-income households with financial assistance to help them pay for home energy costs such as heating and cooling. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) administers the program, which is intended to assist households that are struggling to pay their energy bills and may face having their service disconnected. Eligibility is determined by income and family size.

Principles of economics for evaluating and assessing the need for the public health initiative
Public Health is a science that all in all expects to improve and lessen disparities in wellbeing. Public Health economics manages the basic leadership process for public health professionals in the usage of accessible resources while limiting opportunity cost (Edwards, Charles and Lloyd-Williams, 2013). The initiative will concentrate on making HIV testing a routine that will assist in decreasing and HIV. HIV represents human immunodeficiency virus. It debilitates an individual's immune system by crushing vital cells that battle infection and disease. The ascent in HIV is an expanding worry to public health making the need for consideration to decrease the potential health impacts it has on the human population. HIV is running fast in the population because of low salary, poor or no medicinal services, flooding rates of sexually transmitted infection's and people who have no idea of their HIV status.
A brief description of whether the initiative is a micro or macroeconomic program
The public health initiative to help lessen and counteract HIV is a macroeconomic program. The HIV issue is not just an individual concern yet additionally influences the country in general. When individuals are HIV, they are prone to various medical conditions like pneumonia, tuberculosis (TB), and other respiratory infections; lymphoma, cervical cancer, and other cancers; cardiovascular disease; and problems that affect the brain and central nervous system such as dementia, nerve damage, and memory problems, which have the potential of influencing the productivity of such people (Iribarren et al., 2018). At the point when a critical number of people are not productive because of HIV and these conditions, it turns into a risk to a nation's monetary development on the grounds that the country development is reliant on the profitability of its natives. At the end of 2015, an estimated 1.1 million persons aged 13 and older were living with HIV infection in the United States, including an estimated 162,500 (15%) persons whose infections had not been diagnosed. A ton of assets allotment is towards guaranteeing healthcare administrations are accessible to people in general to get to treatment for HIV and conditions that are appended to them.
A determination of whether the result of the initiative is a public or private good
The public health initiative in diminishing HIV is a public good. In economics, public goods are those which its utilization by one individual does not decrease the sum accessible for others to expend and are comprehensive to such an extent that nobody is barred from getting a charge out of the advantages related with them (Grossman, Pierskalla, & Dean, 2017). Public health initiatives are an element of different components both b.
This summary analyzes health and social care usage patterns for over 73,000 people in their last year of life across seven local authorities in England. It finds that while most people (89.6%) used hospital care, social care was also significant, with 27.8% receiving local authority-funded social care. Social care needs were apparent well before the end of life. The study aims to better understand the contributions of health and social care at the end of life through analyzing linked administrative data.

Universal Health Care
Universal healthcare has had significant reforms. One of the significant changes is the provision of free healthcare. It is an undeniable fact that the provision of free health services has some benefits. The benefits of provision of free universal healthcare include improved health care to people. Universal healthcare provides accessible health services to the population in different regions in the world. Universal health care has reduced high poverty levels. Poor people can access specialized treatment such as cancer.
Universal health care has seen the majority population seek preventive care to avert the occurrence of diseases such as cancer. Another advantage is that universal health care coverage promotes equality and fairness. Irrespective of income or wealth, every person can access health care services in any part of the world. Universal health care coverage leads to decrease in healthcare administrative costs. This is a positive impact on the healthcare organizations. A single body has undertaken all administrative activities such as billing and insurance payouts.
Universal healthcare has led to economic growth and better living standards since population does not spend much money paying for health care services. The money that could have been used for healthcare services have been put in income generating activities such as business resulting in economic growth and development and improved standards of living of the general population.
However, they are various disadvantages of having universal health care. Several experts have studied the cons of universal healthcare. They argue out that universal healthcare reduces standards of healthcare. The paper presents an argument that denies the notion that universal health care should be available and free to every person. Universal healthcare coverage should not be provided to all patients because it results in adverse implications such as long waiting time, socialism state as well as an increased government time.
Long Wait Time
This type of healthcare system results in patients waiting for long to be served by medical practitioners. The numbers of patients are many, congesting hospitals, clinics, sanatoriums, and dispensaries. The system then becomes slow and tedious for the few hospital workers. Long wait time causes weak submission of services, poor sanitation and hence degrading overall value of health care. A patient may go the emergency room with an emergency but kept waiting because of a patient who came earlier with a less severe medical condition, for example, the flu. (Niles, 2014)
Leads to Socialism State
A socialism state refers to a state whereby people work and are forced to share their earnings with people who may not be working. Universal health care would require the government to raise ...

Health care delivery to patients should be the best and of high quality. Health centers should ensure they work to ensure their clients gets maximum benefits from the services they are offering. Health services in the country have however been not to the best of their game with several factors affecting their efficiency. Most clients always complain of poor outcomes once they visit government health care facilities. The core of the establishment is poor and not able to help offer the best services the client expects. This is due to small amounts of funds allocated to health care sector by the government comparing to the needs of the citizens of the country (World Health Organization, 2003). This research paper will in deep length explain the problems that health care establishments faces in an effort to provide the best health care services to their clients. The stakeholders of healthcare sector, who are my audience, should ensure they serve their part effectively to ensure a smooth service delivery to their clients under all aspects. The technological, political and socioeconomic factors that pose these problems needs to be addressed and solutions provided to improve the health of the clients.
Healthcare sectors has faced all of these problems for over several centuries now. Technological advancement is continuous and the government is ought to keep up with the current advancement as it affects patient delivery. Infrastructure in hospitals should be well in cooperated with technology (Kaplan, Damuk, Lynch, Cohen, 1996). Government policies and regulations on healthcare sector affect service delivery.

Differences in socioeconomic status among the clients affect their service delivery in a health care establishment.

An Intervention for the At-Risk Population
Evidence-Based Intervention
One intervention that could be implemented to improve health outcomes or decrease disparities for African Americans living in the inner city is to provide access to affordable healthcare. Lack of access to healthcare is a significant issue facing this population and improving access would help to improve overall health and reduce disparities. One study that supports the intervention of providing access to affordable healthcare for African Americans living in the inner city is a study conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation. The study found that African Americans are more likely than other groups to be uninsured and that lack of insurance is associated with poorer health outcomes (Kaiser Family Foundation, 2016). This shows that improving access to healthcare would be a beneficial intervention for this population. Additionally, this intervention is realistic and appropriate for the people because it would address a significant issue facing African Americans living in the inner city (lack of access to healthcare) and improve their overall health.
A Plan for Implementing the Proposed Intervention
Partnership with community-based groups to raise awareness of available resources and link persons to care would be an integral aspect of a strategy to implement the intervention of providing affordable healthcare access for African Americans who reside in the inner city (Brennan et al., 2008). As an additional step, it would be necessary to include healthcare practitioners to guarantee that patients have access to treatment. For this intervention to be fully implemented, financial backing is essential.
Community and Interprofessional Stakeholders Needed for Collaboration:
a) Community-based organizations
b) Health care providers
c) Funders
Permissions Needed:
a) Permission from community-based organizations to partner and increase awareness of resources
b) Permission from healthcare providers to engage and ensure patients can access care
c) Funding to support the implementation of the intervention
Potential Costs for Implementation:
a) Cost of partnering with community-based organizations
b) Cost of engaging healthcare providers
c) Funding for intervention
Potential Challenges to Implementation
One potential challenge to implementing the intervention of providing access to affordable healthcare for African Americans living in the inner city is that many individuals may not be aware of available resources. This can be addressed by partnering with community-based organizations to increase awareness and connect individuals to care (Brennan et al., 2008). Information about available resources can be disseminated through community events and outreach. Another potential challenge is that healthcare providers may not be willing to engage or may not be abl.

Technological advancement is continuous and the government is ought to keep up with the current advancement as it affects patient delivery. Infrastructure in hospitals should be well in cooperated with technology (Kaplan, Pamuk, Lynch, Cohen, 1996). Government policies and regulations on healthcare sector affect service delivery. It has not been able to provide the best solution in this sector thus affecting its development. Socioeconomic factors are present in every society and have always been affecting delivery of healthcare services to members of the society will the poor individuals been the most affected by this aspect. These problems and how they affect the delivery of healthcare services in hospitals are explained in this research paper in depth.
Differences in socioeconomic status among the clients affect their service delivery in a health care establishment. This affects every society since there is always a difference in social and economic status among the members of a particular society (Cassel.J, 1976). The effects of this factor are very severe in an overpopulated community which is multicultural and facing unequal economic growth. The factors that pose the problems in health care delivery under this aspect and their effects are very harming and it’s crucial for the government to take precautionary measures to prevent such problems. Low-income earners will not be able to access the best health care services as these services requ.
Fragmentation of health care delivery services in africaAlexander Decker
This document summarizes issues with how donor funding for healthcare projects in Africa has fragmented services and undermined public health systems. Donors often fund narrow vertical projects focused on diseases that interest Western audiences, like HIV/AIDS, rather than building sustainable national systems. This leads to a lack of coordination, duplication of efforts, and depletion of local healthcare workers who leave for better paying jobs with NGOs implementing donor projects. While donor funding has helped control some diseases, it has not improved overall health outcomes in Africa and has weakened public health infrastructure by not prioritizing capacity building and local ownership over targeting specific diseases.
There were 564,000 homeless individuals in the US in 2015. Homelessness increases health risks as the homeless experience barriers to healthcare access and are more likely to use emergency rooms for primary care. A proposed solution is a population-centered healthcare approach using a mobile medical unit that can screen, test and treat the homeless where they live. This reduces barriers by bringing healthcare directly to the homeless. It aims to increase preventative care, manage chronic conditions, and reduce emergency room visits and healthcare costs. Feedback from both patients and practitioners would be used to evaluate the model.
This document provides a literature review and environmental scan on population-based health communication and social determinants of health. It discusses research showing that targeting specific audiences, framing messages based on political ideology, and increasing public support for policies addressing social and environmental factors can help reduce health disparities. The review examines topics like equity, investing in prevention outside of medical care, communicating about shifting investments, and how social circumstances impact behaviors and health outcomes. It provides examples of communication strategies and considerations for population health advocates in messaging around social determinants.

Background
Currently, the Mission Viejo municipality has a larger population of approximately 500,000 people according to the latest census of 2012. The total population comprises of 48.5% males and 51.5 % female. The county has two main healthcare facilities that provide services to the community of radius of approximately 10-miles. The Mission Hospital Regional Foundation Centre acts as a communal ship due to its functions. Besides, the mission health Centre is prominent to partner with other facilities such as CHOC Children’s (Burgess, Shaw & Kellas, 2011). The two healthcare facilities provide services to a total of nine municipalities at Viejo. These municipalities are San Juan Capistrano, Aliso Viejo, Laguna Niguel, Lake Forest, Laguna Hills, Laguna Woods, Mission Viejo, Ladera, and Rancho Santa Margarita. The county has communities and homes which comprises of the aging population and retired persons of fifty-five years and above.
Common senior medical situations
The makeup of the Golden Age Hospital in the Mission Viejo and its surroundings is useful because it provides quality healthcare services to infected people and the old. Many common health situations affect the old age in the municipality. These most common health conditions include heart attack conditions, lungs problems, and coronary diseases, which has been reported in places like Aliso Viejo and Laguna Hills (Collins, Connor, Mott & Hickey, 2015). Currently, dealing with these common healthcare conditions is challenging because there are no enough health facilities that can provide all needed services to the public. In most cases, senior medical situations need special attention which should be addressed with more care. Therefore, there is need for an extra wing at the Golden Age Hospital that should be specifically responsible to handle senior medical conditions only.
Major Medical Institutions
The senior healthcare institution in the municipality is the two hospitals located in Viejo that primarily provide acute healthcare services and respite healthcare services to the elderly. These healthcare services are susceptible; thus, it can allow caregivers to attend to other daily routines.

Targeting and location of Golden Age Hospital
According to the current situation in the city, there is a need for more wing of the facility to prove healthcare services to the aging population that requires more attention. The development and modernization of more extensions in the facility will help to provide supplementary services to the two existing hospitals to deliver excellence healthcare services to old people. Statistically, in the nine counties, around 17.5 % of the total population is fifty-five years of age assuming the average age is 77 years (Ha ...
This document discusses the link between gender and health financing. It notes that while equity analysis in health financing has traditionally focused on socioeconomic status and location, the area of examining gender is less researched. It highlights some examples of questions around how gender impacts revenue raising, risk pooling, purchasing of health programs, and resource allocation. It also discusses vulnerabilities women and girls face in many settings. The document advocates for more gender-sensitive health financing policies that promote universal health coverage and equitable access to care.
This is a proposal for a population health program targeting adolescents aged 12-19 in an underserved African American community. The program aims to address risky sexual behaviors, substance abuse, mental health issues, violence, and obesity through education on safe sex practices, substance abuse counseling, mental health counseling, exercise promotion, and ensuring access to healthcare. The expected outcomes are a reduction in teen pregnancies and STIs, increased enrollment in counseling, and fewer obese adolescents. The program aligns with HP2020 goals and will use social cognitive theory and social media marketing. Potential barriers include lack of stakeholder participation and funding.

This document discusses health management practices in the United States and strategies for addressing health disparities. It outlines approaches a health educator working for a state public health department could take to prioritize health conditions and concerns. Key data sources are identified, including national statistics from the CDC and reports on trends at the state and local levels. Developing regional systems and structures is suggested to help hospitals in disparately impacted geographic areas address health problems across state borders through collaborations.
The National Council for Community Behavioral Healthcare submitted a response to the Department of Health and Human Services' strategic framework for individuals with multiple chronic conditions. The National Council represents over 1,700 community mental health and addiction treatment organizations. They stressed that mental illness and substance use disorders often co-occur with physical health conditions, worsening health outcomes. They supported several of the strategic framework's goals, including identifying best practices and tools for treating individuals with multiple chronic conditions, enhancing health professionals' training, and facilitating self-care management programs which have been effective for other chronic conditions like mental illnesses and substance use disorders. Community behavioral health organizations are well positioned to coordinate care for those with multiple chronic conditions.

This document discusses global health disparities and their causes. Socioeconomic factors directly correlate with unequal access to and quality of healthcare around the world. In many low and middle income countries, healthcare services and facilities are rarely available or insufficient, especially in rural areas. Discrimination also contributes to health disparities as some groups receive lower quality care or lack access to certain treatments. Potential solutions proposed include implementing universal healthcare, focusing on disease prevention, and reforming how healthcare is financed globally to improve equity.

[THE COUNCIL AUTHORS OF LEGISLATION]
[ADDRESS]
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to address issues that are related to health disparities as well as the legislation that can be implemented to help in dealing with the vice.
Overview
Health disparities refer to the differences that may arise in the health status of different groups of persons. Factors such as race, gender, social class, disability, and sexual orientation may contribute to health disparities. The issue of racial discrimination has been a major contributor of health disparities across the U.S., with 47% of individuals from the African American and Latina population complaining of poor medical care and treatment. The aged population has also been affected directly by the issue of health disparity, with most of them having to face the challenges of poor medical care. In the quest of dealing with the issue of health disparities, it is vital to employ the use of the health equity legislation act. The Health Equity and Accountability Act of 2014 was passed by the Congress to help in addressing the issues of health disparities across the U.S.
Intended Consequences of the Legislation
The implementation of the Health Equity and Accountability Act of 2014 will help in addressing the issue of health disparity across the U.S. First and foremost, the legislative act will call for the equal medical care and treatment to all individuals, irrespective of their gender, race, and social class. The piece of legislation will call for the medical practitioners to be on the frontline in providing the necessary treatments to these vulnerable groups (Braveman et al., 2011). Moreover, it will be a requirement for all the healthcare organizations across the U.S. to come up with healthcare disparities programs that will aim at educating the medical practitioners in providing equal treatments to all individuals. Specific medical attention will be provided to the elderly, to help them lead normal lives.
Interpretation of the Major Tenets of Legislation
As for the health practitioners, it will be a requirement for them to ensure that they provide equal medical care to all the patients. Moreover, the health equality act will help the health practitioners come up with suitable decisions on how to handle all patients equally without discriminating against them (Laurencin, 2014). As for the consumers of the healthcare services, by having an idea of the legislation, they will be able to fight for their rights. In the event of health disparities, they will have an idea of how to handle the issue, as well as the personnel that they will be able to approach and address their issues.
Summary of the Logical Interpretation of the Legislation
The Health Equity and Accountability Act will aim at addressing the issues of health disparities within the health organizations across the U.S. The member of the ...

Patients who have complex health needs require not only medical. But also social services and support from a variety of caregivers and providers. Facility managers who are part of care coordination could assist patient in receiving optimal care by addressing the challenges in coordinating care for these patients, and offer programmatic changes and policies that help deliver the best services to all patients.
Facility managers can come up with strategic plans based on prior data and make necessary changes based on preexisting conditions. “Patient- centered, comprehensive, coordinated, and accessible care that continuously improved through a systems-based approach to quality and safety” (AHRQ, 2012) are what’s needed to achieve the highest quality care possible in any health care facility.
Patient centered care can’t be achieved with providers only. It requires team work and collaboration among all stakeholders. To improve the quality and safety of patients, health care facility managers can work hand and hand with the coordinated team to provide a system based approach by drawing on decision-support tools, taking into account patient experience, and using population health management approach. Patient preference and needs on what aspects of care to be improved.

As a facility manager, and part of the care coordination team, I would look into models of care that would assist our situation. With the Affordable Care Act in place, there are accountable care organizations (ACOs), which provide models of care (“Promise,” 2013). There are many different definitions and perspectives on care coordination, but all lead to the goal of meeting patient needs and providing adequate healthcare (“Care,” 2014).
Care coordination is essential because each patient can interact with a variety of professionals each visit. For example, for a routine physical appointment, the patient could meet with the scheduling staff, medical assistants, nurses, doctors, pharmacists, and the billing staff. If each one of these member fails to coordinate as a whole, the patient could be harmed or neglected. As a care coordinator, I would be responsible for discussing an individualized care plan with each patient and ensuring that they understand their responsibilities. All barriers should be identified, such as financial, social (language), psychological, and anything that would effect the patient from following their correct plan of care and interacting with the staff (“Promise,” 2013). Another key point is to ensure the medical staff has reviewed the patient’s medical records and ensure that everyone is on the same page. These are just a few examples, because each case is different and each patient will have different needs. .

List of Support Needs for the Participant
1. Assisting the patients to change the lifestyle is one of the primary support needs. According to the participant response, quitting smoking and maintaining a healthy weight are some of the significant challenges. Educating the patient about healthy dietary and the need for vigorous physical exercise will help the patient in maintaining the right body weight. Smoking habits are highly addictive, and quitting becomes challenging and requires significant effort from both the patient and the caregiver.
2. Psychological counseling. The patient has a great concern of wondering if she would leave long to see grandchildren. She also takes medication such as propranolol and diazepam for managing the stress. Counseling will help the patient mitigate the effects of anxiety and possible depression. It will also change the mindset of imminent death as a result of chronic kidney complications. Physical exercise is essential for mental health and manages stress levels.
3. Accurate tests and prescriptions of the medical plan to the patient are essential in chronic disease management. According to the participant, she would like to follow the prescribed medical plan to manage this complication.
4. They are assisting the patient in understanding the various prescribed medical plan. There is a need to educate the patient about how to administer medicines such as insulin.
Objectives Implementation of Healthy People 2020
Healthy people in 2020 policies and laws examined the various opportunities and approaches to achieve their primary goals. Different governments are using different strategies to promote the health wellness of society and public health. These initiatives serve as roadmaps for different countries and their objectives to health promotion (Pykett, 2019). They provide a way for the government and the community in general to understand the current and future health situation for effective planning and policymaking. For effective interventions for healthy nations, the government needs to engage public health stakeholders such as the healthcare providers, practitioners, and the community. This will helps in the identification of effective strategies for interventions and making healthy people 2020 ideas actionable.
Good health begins in our homes, workplaces, schools, and community in general. Social determinants of health directly impact all individuals. The healthy people 2020 determinants are divided into various categories, namely economic stability, education, healthcare, and the neighborhood, built environments as well as the community context (Pykett, 2019).

They supported several of the strategic framework's goals, including identifying best practices and tools for treating individuals with multiple chronic conditions, enhancing health professionals' training, and facilitating self-care management programs which have been effective for other chronic conditions like mental illnesses and substance use disorders. Community behavioral health organizations are well positioned to coordinate care for those with multiple chronic conditions.
Global Health Disparities - Presentation.pptxHannaBenarroch1
This document discusses global health disparities and their causes. Socioeconomic factors directly correlate with unequal access to and quality of healthcare around the world. In many low and middle income countries, healthcare services and facilities are rarely available or insufficient, especially in rural areas. Discrimination also contributes to health disparities as some groups receive lower quality care or lack access to certain treatments. Potential solutions proposed include implementing universal healthcare, focusing on disease prevention, and reforming how healthcare is financed globally to improve equity.

[THE COUNCIL AUTHORS OF LEGISLATION]
[ADDRESS]
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to address issues that are related to health disparities as well as the legislation that can be implemented to help in dealing with the vice.
Overview
Health disparities refer to the differences that may arise in the health status of different groups of persons. Factors such as race, gender, social class, disability, and sexual orientation may contribute to health disparities. The issue of racial discrimination has been a major contributor of health disparities across the U.S., with 47% of individuals from the African American and Latina population complaining of poor medical care and treatment. The aged population has also been affected directly by the issue of health disparity, with most of them having to face the challenges of poor medical care. In the quest of dealing with the issue of health disparities, it is vital to employ the use of the health equity legislation act. The Health Equity and Accountability Act of 2014 was passed by the Congress to help in addressing the issues of health disparities across the U.S.
Intended Consequences of the Legislation
The implementation of the Health Equity and Accountability Act of 2014 will help in addressing the issue of health disparity across the U.S. First and foremost, the legislative act will call for the equal medical care and treatment to all individuals, irrespective of their gender, race, and social class. The piece of legislation will call for the medical practitioners to be on the frontline in providing the necessary treatments to these vulnerable groups (Braveman et al., 2011). Moreover, it will be a requirement for all the healthcare organizations across the U.S. to come up with healthcare disparities programs that will aim at educating the medical practitioners in providing equal treatments to all individuals. Specific medical attention will be provided to the elderly, to help them lead normal lives.
Interpretation of the Major Tenets of Legislation
As for the health practitioners, it will be a requirement for them to ensure that they provide equal medical care to all the patients. Moreover, the health equality act will help the health practitioners come up with suitable decisions on how to handle all patients equally without discriminating against them (Laurencin, 2014). As for the consumers of the healthcare services, by having an idea of the legislation, they will be able to fight for their rights. In the event of health disparities, they will have an idea of how to handle the issue, as well as the personnel that they will be able to approach and address their issues.
Summary of the Logical Interpretation of the Legislation
The Health Equity and Accountability Act will aim at addressing the issues of health disparities within the health organizations across the U.S. The member of the ...

Patients who have complex health needs require not only medical. But also social services and support from a variety of caregivers and providers. Facility managers who are part of care coordination could assist patient in receiving optimal care by addressing the challenges in coordinating care for these patients, and offer programmatic changes and policies that help deliver the best services to all patients.
Facility managers can come up with strategic plans based on prior data and make necessary changes based on preexisting conditions. “Patient- centered, comprehensive, coordinated, and accessible care that continuously improved through a systems-based approach to quality and safety” (AHRQ, 2012) are what’s needed to achieve the highest quality care possible in any health care facility.
Patient centered care can’t be achieved with providers only. It requires team work and collaboration among all stakeholders. To improve the quality and safety of patients, health care facility managers can work hand and hand with the coordinated team to provide a system based approach by drawing on decision-support tools, taking into account patient experience, and using population health management approach. Patient preference and needs on what aspects of care to be improved.

As a facility manager, and part of the care coordination team, I would look into models of care that would assist our situation. With the Affordable Care Act in place, there are accountable care organizations (ACOs), which provide models of care (“Promise,” 2013). There are many different definitions and perspectives on care coordination, but all lead to the goal of meeting patient needs and providing adequate healthcare (“Care,” 2014).
Care coordination is essential because each patient can interact with a variety of professionals each visit. For example, for a routine physical appointment, the patient could meet with the scheduling staff, medical assistants, nurses, doctors, pharmacists, and the billing staff. If each one of these member fails to coordinate as a whole, the patient could be harmed or neglected. As a care coordinator, I would be responsible for discussing an individualized care plan with each patient and ensuring that they understand their responsibilities. All barriers should be identified, such as financial, social (language), psychological, and anything that would effect the patient from following their correct plan of care and interacting with the staff (“Promise,” 2013). Another key point is to ensure the medical staff has reviewed the patient’s medical records and ensure that everyone is on the same page. These are just a few examples, because each case is different and each patient will have different needs. .

List of Support Needs for the Participant
1. Assisting the patients to change the lifestyle is one of the primary support needs. According to the participant response, quitting smoking and maintaining a healthy weight are some of the significant challenges. Educating the patient about healthy dietary and the need for vigorous physical exercise will help the patient in maintaining the right body weight. Smoking habits are highly addictive, and quitting becomes challenging and requires significant effort from both the patient and the caregiver.
2. Psychological counseling. The patient has a great concern of wondering if she would leave long to see grandchildren. She also takes medication such as propranolol and diazepam for managing the stress. Counseling will help the patient mitigate the effects of anxiety and possible depression. It will also change the mindset of imminent death as a result of chronic kidney complications. Physical exercise is essential for mental health and manages stress levels.
3. Accurate tests and prescriptions of the medical plan to the patient are essential in chronic disease management. According to the participant, she would like to follow the prescribed medical plan to manage this complication.
4. They are assisting the patient in understanding the various prescribed medical plan. There is a need to educate the patient about how to administer medicines such as insulin.
Objectives Implementation of Healthy People 2020
Healthy people in 2020 policies and laws examined the various opportunities and approaches to achieve their primary goals. Different governments are using different strategies to promote the health wellness of society and public health. These initiatives serve as roadmaps for different countries and their objectives to health promotion (Pykett, 2019). They provide a way for the government and the community in general to understand the current and future health situation for effective planning and policymaking. For effective interventions for healthy nations, the government needs to engage public health stakeholders such as the healthcare providers, practitioners, and the community. This will helps in the identification of effective strategies for interventions and making healthy people 2020 ideas actionable.
Good health begins in our homes, workplaces, schools, and community in general. Social determinants of health directly impact all individuals. The healthy people 2020 determinants are divided into various categories, namely economic stability, education, healthcare, and the neighborhood, built environments as well as the community context (Pykett, 2019). The first step of implementing objectives of Health People 2020 is the identification of the national-wide health improvement priorities ...

The document summarizes key aspects of the Affordable Care Act as it relates to prevention and wellness. It describes how the ACA aims to promote prevention, fund public health initiatives, and reduce chronic disease. It discusses provisions such as banning pre-existing condition exclusions, covering preventive services with no cost sharing, and investing in community-based prevention programs. However, it also notes that Republicans questioned whether these prevention initiatives were worth funding.

In your analysis, you should address the following items/questions:
Offer a brief overview of your chosen agency. What are its primary functions and roles in the community?
What are the primary expenditures for your chosen agency?
How do these expenditures determine public policy priorities?
Has the agency’s budget increased or decreased since last year? What does this indicate about the success of the agency and its ability to deliver services?
Is the agency allocating resources wisely?
What recommendations would you offer, in terms of resource allocation, for the agency in the future?
The entire budgetary analysis should be 8 to 10 pages in length and should be submitted in Unit VIII. The Final Project

Your dilemma is that you have to make a painful medical decision and
to explain, in writing, who benefits from what you decided, who gets
denied a needed benefit, and why. The document is to be in the form of
an official memorandum that will be kept for the record and could be
potentially read by not only your Peer Review Committee, but also
possibly those involved in charitable fundraising to support hospital
development and others with financial interests in the choice made.
Include in the document the utilitarian ethical philosophy of John
Stuart Mill (The Ethics of Consequences) and ONE OTHER ETHICAL
PHILOSOPHER of your choice and use both of those philosophies to bolster your decision.
We can do John Stuart Mill and Jeremy Bentham for the two utilitarian ethical philosopher. They said: The Principle of Utility from Bentham and Mill expressed in ethical form is this: “We should act in such a way as to maximize the happiness of everyone affected by our actions.” This was a radical idea, because it included no references to religion and had a purely human focus. It was also teleological (learn this new word), because it focused only on the consequences of decisions.
This paper will be at least two double spaced pages but
limited to three pages. Remember both professional written form and
potential audience, as well as tone when writing this sensitive paper.
Your assignment is to make the decision using utilitarian ethics and
then to write it up in the form of a Memorandum for the hospital
records.
The Memorandum should be at least two double-spaced pages with a
maximum of three pages, in memorandum form, ready to become an
official item of record.
Scenario You Decide
One of the great ongoing situations that calls for ethical decision
making is the reality that there is almost always a greater need for
something than there is a supply to meet the need.
For our assignment and scenario, the demand is the life-and-death
situation of the need for transplantable organs and the rather small
and transitory supply. Hard decisions need to be made, and there is
little time to think things through. These are emergency situations.
Transplantable organs become available on short notice--usually
because a donor has died for reasons unrelated to the organ. They need
to be removed and transplanted very quickly because they only remain
fresh for a limited period. Then there is the whole complicated issue
of tissue type matching. There is also an ongoing concern about how
long recipients can wait.
Scenario:
Ok, Lead Surgeon, its time to do what you do the best!
You are the Lead surgeon in a major hospital, and by virtue of your
seniority you are also the key decision maker for transplant cases.
Right now you have three people who are waiting and hoping for a
suitable heart to become available. Your call phone rings suddenly,
and you are notified that a heart has become available- meaning that
you need to make a quick yet sound decision about which patient wil.

Your assignment is to write a formal response to this work. By caref.docxwoodruffeloisa
Your assignment is to write a formal response to this work. By carefully describing subject matter, medium, form, and context, you should be able to arrive at a thoughtful well -defended interpretation of the piece. (1) Describe it . Thoroughly. If it is representational, what is the subject matter depicted? If it is non -representational, say so. What does it look like? What is the medium? Have we studied/do you know anything about the process that resulted in the work? What size is it? Is it a 2 -dimensional or 3 -dimensional piece? Which formal elements stand out to you? What are the colors being used? Be as descriptive as possible. (2) Contextualize it . What is the title? What is the name of the artist who created it? Do you know anything about the artist? Is there a statement giving you more information? In which year was it made? Where is it being displayed as you are looking at it? How is it being displayed? Are there other works by the same artist there to give you more context? Can you compare and contrast it to other works you’ve seen elsewhere or studied ? (3) Interpret it. Based on your description, what do you think the artist was trying to say? It may be difficult to separate this interpretation from the descriptive process and it is okay if the two aspects are interwoven. (4) Respond to it. Though I am not interested in merely hearing whether or not you like the piece, I also want you to meaningful respond to the work. As art -critic Peter Scheldahl proposes, a question more valuable to ask yourself can be, “If I were someone who did like this piece, why would I like it?” Who is its intended audience and are you among that audience? Why did you choose this particular piece? What does it make you think about? Why do you think that the artist made the choices that she or he did? Do you agree with all of those choices? Is the artist’s intention clear/well -executed? How do you feel about the way in which the work is being displayed? Would it be more suitably exhibited somewhere else or alongside different work? This part of the paper may contain judgments, but at this point they will be well founded. Never make a proclamation without continuing the sentence with the because… Your response should be a minimum of one and a half double -spaced pages, 12 point font. If you are thorough in your description, you should find that you easily exceed this length.

Your assignment is to write a short position paper (1 to 2 pages dou.docxwoodruffeloisa
Your assignment is to write a short position paper (1 to 2 pages double spaced, or roughly 250-500 words) answering ONE of the following two questions:
(1) How much appropriation do you think is justifiable in creating new works of art which draw on previously existing source material? As case studies, consider Nina Paley’s use of Annette Hanshaw’s music in
Sita Sings the Blues
and Shepard Fairey’s adaptation of an Associated Press news photograph for his 2008 Barack Obama “Hope” campaign poster. In each case, do you feel the artist was right or wrong in the way they used the material? Were the corporate entities involved right or wrong to claim their copyrights gave them the power to suppress these works?
-OR-
(2) When an artist freely adapts material that is strongly associated with a culture other than his or her own, does that artist have a special responsibility to avoid offending some members of that culture? Would the same standards apply to an artist from within the culture? As a case study, consider Nina Paley’s contemporary retelling of the Ramayana epic in
Sita Sings the Blues
. Some Hindus condemned the film while other Hindus applauded it. When, if ever, should an artist compromise his or her vision in deference to interest groups claiming offense?
Whichever question you choose, you may argue pro or con or somewhere in between, but whatever side you are on, you should avoid emotional rants and baseless charges. Summarize each side’s position, and use specific evidence and sound reasoning to support your case. Your writing will be assessed according to the amount of time and thought you put into the work, the persuasiveness of your reasoning, and the clarity of your writing. You may refer to outside sources if properly cited, but do not copy from websites or other authors; use your own words. As always, grammar, spelling, and style count; be sure to proofread your paper for any mistakes.

Your assignment is to report on a cultural experience visit you .docxwoodruffeloisa
Your assignment is to report on a "cultural experience" visit you make during this term. The experience should be done in person. (If this is impossible, contact the instructor to arrange for an alternative assignment.) You may not report on a cultural experience from prior to this class. After the visit, write a 500-800 word report about the visit and what you learned.
You should attend or visit one of the following.
a museum or display of art, culture, or technology
a sculpture garden
a significant or notable architectural site (if there is explanatory material there to help you understand it)
a music concert
a street art festival
a play, poetry reading or other spoken word performance
a dance performance
an important or notable historical site (if there is explanatory material there to help you understand it)
a religious service, ceremony or ritual for a religion very different from yours, if you practice (for instance, if you are Christian, you may not go to another Christian denomination's service)
other displays or performances
may
be acceptable.
Check with your instructor for approval beforehand.
After your
cultural experience visit,
write a report that includes the following information. (Please number the sections of your report to match):
Name and location of the museum, site, or event. If there is on-line information about the site or performance, include a link.
Type of museum, site or event. For example, is it a portrait museum, a poetry slam, an outdoor Shakespeare festival performance? If you attended a performance, name the performer or the piece. Be specific about
what
you attended,
when
, and
where

Briefly describe the general setting.
Describe
one or more parts or aspects
of the experience—for example, a particular work of art, cultural artifact, song, dance section, scene in a play, costumes or lighting, one particular actor or vocalist—that you found especially interesting. Explain what impressed you, and why. Your reaction can be positive or negative, as long as you offer an explanation for your reactions.
Identify and use at least two things you've learned in class to that you can connect to your experience. For example, if you visit a museum, you might point out the architectural style, discuss an artist you've learned about in the course, tie in your experience with a class discussion, make use of a concept presented in a class assignment. We've learned how visual arts and musical arts ( hearing are and can be different as you get a differen experence from it), also we have learned that different experiences bring different meaning and different ways of seeing things.
Include photos or links to images on a web page to help convey the information.
How did the experience engage your feelings or emotions, if at all? What does this tell you about human culture
Reflect on the relevance--if any--of your experience to your everyday life.

Basic MLA Style Format for an Annotated Bibliography
Format your page and list of citations in the same way you would a normal Works Cited page, then add your annotation at the end of it.
Title your bibliography “Works Cited” at the top of the page. Center it, but do not put it in bold face type.
Put entries in alphabetical order, not the order in which they have been assigned.
Use hanging indents
, as shown below. That is, the first line of the citation starts at the left margin. Subsequent lines are indented 5 spaces.
As with every other part of an MLA formatted essay, the bibliography is
double spaced
throughout.
The
annotation is a continuation of the citation
. Do not drop down to the next line to start the annotation.
The
right margin is the normal right margin
of your document.
There is a right way and a wrong way to write up these entries.
Don’t “report”
the arguments the author makes or tell readers the order in which those arguments are presented and count all of that reporting and listing as “summary” or annotation. Instead, restate in your own words the claims made by the writer in his/her essay.
Wrong way to do it
: "Marotti introduces his argument in the first section of the essay; then he moves on to talk about Petrarchan conventions. He ends the essay by talking about the political ramifications of Shakespeare's sonnets."
Right way to do it:
"Marotti’s argument here is that the sonnet genre must be understood in three ways: by examining the text itself, by examining the text in relation to others of its kind, and by exploring the social/historical environment in which it was published and circulated . . ."

2. The American Heart Association and hypertension
Introduction
The American Heart Association and hypertension is a non-
profit making organization that is mandated by the federal
government to create a medical awareness program about heart
and hypertension conditions among the United States residents.
The main aim of initiating this activity is to help in solving
health issues relating to heart and hypertension cases that are
currently common in different parts of the United States.
DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
The American Heart Association and hypertension program aim
at creating outreach awareness about heart diseases and
disorders and hypertension conditions. The process of creating
public awareness will tend to reach a large number of people
from areas to inner cities where most people reside. A mobile
health care promotion program will use a public address to
announce to invite the public to come for free heart and
hypertension screening. The screening process will involve
testing members of the public who will make to mobile
screening centers.
Currently, there are various cases relating to heart and
hypertension cases in different states in the United States.
Statistically, the aging population is the most affected groups
which have been reporting cases of heart and hypertension
disorders. Usually, it is challenging to detect these conditions at
early stages (Huebner, Milgrom, Mancl, Smolen, Sutherland,
3. Weinstein & Riedy, 2014). As such, this has led to many deaths
since many cases are detected when the disease is at an
advanced stage, which is challenging to treat. Therefore, this
program is essential because it will help in assisting members of
the public in knowing whether they are suffering from such
conditions. In doing so, this will help to initiate early medical
actions to help in reducing the number of deaths associated to
heart and hypertension conditions.
Description of Mobile Health Promotion Outreach Program
Community Health Programs (CHPs) are increasingly
regarded as an integral component of primary healthcare
(Schneider, 2019). The organizations senior leadership asked a
team of medical professionals to put together a mobile health
promotion outreach program able to reach a diverse population
from inner-city areas to rural communities with a focus on
promoting and providing screening activities for The American
Heart Association (AHA) and Hypertension. AHA is the world’s
leading voluntary organization dedicated to building healthier
lives, free of cardiovascular diseases, and partner in building
healthier communities (2018). AHA branded health screenings
conducted at a community-based health events designed to help
consumers become aware of their personal health risk factors,
motivate them to make behavior changes on their own or seek
support for lifestyle changes and follow-up medical care (2018).
AHA convenes with community organizations regularly to find
and implement solutions that make a difference in people’s
health where and how they need it (2018). Health screening
services will be made available for community-sponsored events
(2018).
Current literature supports that Mobile Health Clinics
(MHCs) play a significant role in the U.S. healthcare system
and are successful in reaching vulnerable populations, by
delivering services directly at the curbside in communities of
need and flexibility adapting their services based on the
changing needs of the target community (Yu et al., 2017).
MHCs are an innovative model of healthcare delivery that could
4. help alleviate health disparities in vulnerable populations and
individuals with chronic diseases (Yu et al., 2017). As defined
by The American Heart Association, high blood pressure also
referred to as HBP, or hypertension is when your blood
pressure, the force of blood flowing through your blood vessels,
is consistently too high and nearly half of American adults have
high blood pressure and the best way to know if you have it is
to have the blood pressure checked (AHA, 2020). MHCs are
sometimes considered alternatives to other healthcare models
and serve as a platform to help them navigate the more
convoluted systems of the wider healthcare structure and to
connect with the medical and social resources in the community
(Yu et al., 2017). Studies show that these MCHs are effective in
facilitating access to health care, particularly for minority
groups who have poorer health, and face a higher number of
barriers in accessing health services (Yu et al., 2017). The
target population include vulnerable population such as the
homeless, displaced population, immigrants, migrant workers,
the under-insured, and children who are often disconnected
from traditional healthcare settings and require support in
accessing healthcare (Yu et al., 2017). According to a 2017
report, patient barriers to accessing care showed 50% of low
income adults don’t trust healthcare, 20% deterred by high
healthcare costs, 25% lack transportation to medical
appointments, 11% lack insurance coverage and other report
social isolation, racial or economic barriers, or language and
cultural barriers (Health, S, 2018).
Mobile clinics can successfully reduce barriers in
access to healthcare and can provide more opportunities for
underserved populations to screen for various conditions and to
properly manage their health (Yu et al., 2017). They are an
effective setting for chronic disease management such as
hypertension which is notoriously difficult to adhere to and
therefore, these mobile clinics patients have a reported increase
sense of self-confidence and ability to manage and navigate the
healthcare system (Yu et al., 2017). Additionally, mobile health
5. clinics are making their mark on healthcare, as the advisory
board reported, there are about 2,000 MHCs on the road and the
operational cost is $429,000 annually (Health, S, 2018). These
clinics make a dent in the most vulnerable, safety-net
populations, as reported 60% of the patients are uninsured, and
another 31% have public insurance (Health, S, 2018). MHCs
address the social determinants of health, and promote value-
based care and fill in the gaps that have been proven extremely
effective at connecting high-risk patients with primary and
preventive care (Health, S, 2018).
Operational Plan
The health system’s executive leadership, and
policymakers developed innovative interventions that will help
manage chronic diseases and promote preventative health such
as the mobile health promotion outreach program. The Sinai
Mobile Health Unit project will be launched in the year 2021,
which is a Medical Health System entity. The use of extensive
research in cost effectiveness, senior leadership was able to
provide grants to this project from a network of organizational
donations. It will be available initially for the first 5 years in
the heart of a rural community and will continue to provide
mobile health care depending on the outcomes and return on
investment in the succeeding years. The Mobile Health Unit will
provide primary and preventive care and has connection
between community-based, churches, other hospitals, and clinic
that often connect community members with both medical and
social services (Yu et al., 2017).
The Sinai Mobile Health Unit Goals
1. To increase access to healthcare services (Yu et al., 2017).
2. To create impact on improving patient health outcomes
(Yu et al., 2017).
3. To address social determinants of health (Yu et al., 2017).
4. To advance population health in chronic diseases (Yu et
al., 2017).
5. To decrease healthcare costs (Yu et al., 2017).
Contract or lease
6. A new business model has to develop a contract or
lease to acquire a 1 or 2 mobile health unit that will give more
value to the project. The location where the mobile health unit
should be close to the urban community and the team needs to
conduct a population search prior to leasing or contracting.
Safety features are mandatory, and services should be accessible
to all types of patients and must comply with the American
Disabilities Act (ADA) standards.
Employer and employee qualifications
Clients of mobile clinics may have a diverse
background of social circumstances and cultural beliefs (Yu et
al., 2017). Employee has to be culturally competent, model a
friendly, and nonjudgmental care and must have the ability to
foster trusting relationships (Yu et al., 2017). Experience in
collaborative efforts, comfortable working in small spaces, and
is willing to accept the risks of going into underserved
neighborhoods (Yu et al., 2017).
Production, Distribution and Customer service plans
The health system needs to identify a convenient
location to park the mobile conveniently close to the community
residents. The services include preventative health screenings,
and initiating chronic disease management. Other services
include counseling, outreach, and education, employment
assessments and referrals. Both public and private payers can
participate in this program. Accountable care organizations
(ACOs), a healthcare management model under the Affordable
Care Act are responsible for patient population to improve
healthcare quality and cost through utilizing mobile clinic
model (Yu et al., 2017).
Contingency plans for interruptions in supply or labor issues
The mobile health program may encounter difficulty
in sustainability, difficulty in hiring clinicians (Heath, 2018),
has a risk of increased fragmentation of care, finances or lack of
7. steady source of support from the sponsors or non-profit
organizations, constraints by space and clinic structure which
can affect confidentiality and privacy, and challenges in
logistical planning when staff is not coming to work for fear
that patients are either homeless or IV drug users (Yu et al.,
2017). Various solutions such as corporate sponsorships,
collaboration with community partners, and more frequent
maintenance checks, have been developed to combat the issue of
financial insecurity (Yu et al., 2017).
Key Personnel
Medical Director – responsible for outlining the business
structure and the key personnel and their roles and
responsibilities in the mobile health outreach program and for
seeing all clinic aspects of the care provided, including but not
limited to supervision of staff, development and implementation
of quality assurance program, quality improvement, and risk
management initiatives (www.ama-assn.org).
Director – oversight of the operational functions, clinical
aspects of patient care, budget, and personnel. Ensures quality
of care is not compromised (www.ama-assn.org).
Clinical Manager – must be a registered nurse or mid-level
practitioner, under the supervision of the director, manages the
day-to-day operations, ensuring policies and procedures are
followed, and can relieve the medical director or certain
management activities, including quality assurance issues,
patient record reviews and follow up consults (www.ama-
assn.org).
Nurse – responsible referred patients, should function under
established medical protocols, support patients during diagnosis
and treatment, obtain health history and assess health and
illness status, provide patient education in the areas of health
promotion, and preventive medicine, referral of patients as
8. necessary to other health providers and social service agencies,
and appropriate follow up of patients with chronic and acute
health problems (www.ama-assn.org).
Treasurer – charge and custody of and responsible for funds,
provide oversight over the financial books, and month financial
reports (www.ama-assn.org).
MARKETING COMPONENTS
Marketing of the program will be done through mass
sensitization of members of the public to visit mobile clinics to
get screened from the heart hypotension conditions. The
sensitization process will be done using motor vehicles and
public addresses to reach as many people as possible.
Marketing and promotion
Marketing and promotion of the program will be done per
region. The public address will be used by sub-counties to
create awareness and invite members of the public to attend the
program. In cities and urban areas, promotion of the program
will be done in estates where most people reside to attract the
attention of many people. The latter will help to reach many
people in urban areas since some people in urban areas spend
more time in their residential areas.
Motor vehicle selection
The model of vehicle to use in the sensitization process will
depend on the geographical settings of rural areas. The model
and type of cars to use in the process will also depend on the
infrastructure of rural areas. Land cruiser modern design will be
used as a mobile clinic where the medical test will be
conducted. A land cruiser, a four-wheel-drive, thus will access
all different places with poor infrastructures (White,
McIlfatrick, Dunwoody & Watson, 2019). Five motor vehicles
will be used in the process to help in serving many people when
the turnover is high. This will help to save time as well as
increasing the number of people being served at a time.
Besides, there will be vehicle maintenance team will be
9. responsible for fixing motor vehicle issues that might be
experienced during this program. Proper maintenance will help
in facilitating the smooth running of activities during this
program. Fuelling of vehicles will be financed by the county
government that will fund the program. Insurance and wear and
tear issues will be taken care of ensure continuity of the
program.
Scheduling of staff and locations for events
A schedule of this program will consider various factors. The
population and geographical location are some of the most
critical factors that will be considered when scheduling events.
The program will be conducted in different parts of the Texas
States. However, the study will focus on the activities done in
Dallas County. For participants of the program to reach the
target of the program, clinical staff will be divided into groups
to help in serving a large number of people.
Training
Training of health care professionals and other personnel who
will take part in this program is an essential process. It helps in
equipping all staff who will take part in this program to
understand their roles appropriately. Conference training of
health care professionals will be done before the program to
ensure proper preparation for the activities.
Training materials
Educating and training materials for health care professionals
who will take part in this program will be mainly medical
materials. These materials will contain concepts, ideas, and
guidelines that will enable health professionals to perform their
duties correctly.
Permitting
The primary aim of this program is to reach a large number of
people within the county to be screened for heart and
hypertension condition. The program is a healthy activity that
aims at improving the quality of life among members of the
public. As such, the local authority will approve to provide a
10. legal practice permit that authorized the program to be
conducted (Willis, Reynolds & Keleher, 2012).
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Funding for the program
The main goal of this program is to help in improving the
quality of life among members of the public. As such, the
program will be funded through donations for other non-
governmental organizations. Some of the donors of the program
will be the World Health Organization, UNICEF, and other non-
profit organizations.
The state government of Texas and the county government of
Dallas will also provide grant funding to support the program.
The allocation for the program will be made through the health
sector to facilitate the provision of quality screening of
members of the public for heart and hypertension conditions to
improve the quality of life in Dallas and neighboring counties.
OPERATIONAL PLAN
In this section, various activities that will determine the success
of the program will be done. In will help in ensuring that all
operations are performed to achieve all its goals and objectives.
The key aspects discussed in this section include the following:
Legal and regulatory issues
These issues include matters relating to liabilities issues, local
government restrictions, and the department of transportation
issues. For the whole process to run efficiently, the
management of the program will ensure all legal and regulatory
requirements are met to avoid problems restriction the process
of running this program from taking place. Working permits
will be acquired from both local and state governments to allow
for the smooth running of the activities during the process,
creating awareness and screening the public for heart and
hypertension conditions (Willis et al., 2012).
Besides, a working permit will be obtained for the
transportation department to allow the team who will involve in
11. this program to use a public address to reach members of the
public. Getting these legal documents will give participants of
this program to right to perform their activities without any fear
of interference.
Cultural and language issues
Usually, cultural and language problems are some of the critical
issues that always adversely affect the smooth running of
activities of a program. As such, the management of the
program will pay more attention to these issues to help in
supporting businesses of the program. First, during the
application, all those who will take part in the process will obey
and recognize the cultural practices of the local community they
serve (Schensul, Denelli-Hess, Borrero & Bhavati, 2019).
Respecting and appreciating the cultural traditions of the local
communities will assist in creating a good relationship between
members of the public and health professionals who will be
taking part in this process.
On the other hand, the language issue also is likely to affect the
success of this program. Therefore, the management of this
program will engage members of the community to help serving
members of the public to avoid language berries when offering
their services.
Patient flow
Patient flow during this program will depend on the ability of
service providers to reach members of the public. Since services
will be provided to members of the public for free, a large
number of people is expected to show up to be screened for
heart and hypertension condition. In areas where patients flow
is high, more health professionals will be deployed to attend to
them. This will help in reducing workload among service
providers to improve the quality of service offered to members
of the public (Willis et al., 2012).
Sanitary needs and sterilization
Maintaining a clean working environment is one of the factors
that will help in improving the quality of services offered to
members of the public. Therefore, service providers will ensure
12. that a clean working environment is maintained in all working
stations. The latter will be done by proper disposal of all
restorative material used and sterilizing reusable items to avoid
transmission of germs.
Marketing Components
The current patient demographics that this project plans to
market towards are patients in rural and urban communities that
require preventative screenings and services through a mobile
outreach clinic. The goal of this project is to reach the defined
market segment of patients within the community who lack
adequate access to necessary preventative care. To properly
address the appropriate market segment the plan needs to
identify the demographics, economics, lifestyle, sociocultural,
location, and behavior of the population the organization plans
to serve (Moseley 2009). The current project is a mobile clinic
that provides patients with services to evaluate their heart
health and blood pressure while providing care for patients in
need of preventative health services. The goal of this project is
to improve access to care through provision of services in
disadvantaged communities to improve the community health
for patients who lack access to care through either economic or
distance from services. The project plans to utilize marketing
strategies in coordination with local organizations and providers
to increase the quantity of patients who lack access to necessary
services. The American Heart Association’s campaign for this
project is “Providing care close to home”. The current budget
for the advertising campaign is $15,000 to be allocated as
necessary for each project. Funding is limited due to the goal to
improve the quality of patient care while decreasing costs as
necessary, thus requiring the clinic to heavily rely on
partnerships within the community to spread the organization’s
message.
Internal Marketing
Marketing within an organization is the first step to
success as it enable staff to better promote the organization by
motivating and empowering employees while building a
13. relationship with the patients. This environment promotes
employee contribution to the organization through identifying
necessary changes and improving policies to benefit the
organization and patients. The internal marketing campaign will
focus on promoting the mission while stating the importance of
the objectives and goals along with the steps staff members can
take to achieve these goals. The internal marketing strategy will
be designed around employee satisfaction and the organization’s
mission statement. Focusing on these two factors will allow
staff to collaborate to achieve a holistic approach to patient care
that promotes healthy relationships with the community. The
use of internal marketing will create the foundation for all other
marketing platforms as it enables employees to provide quality
service. When the idea of internal marketing was introduced it
specified that satisfied employees will provide better service
which will increase patient retention. The first step of the
mobile clinic will be implementation of organizational
citizenship behavior to enable staff to create a positive
atmosphere between the staff on site with the organization. This
method has shown to increase productivity and empower
employees to work cohesively. The second step of this project is
to focus of customer-oriented behavior to advocate for patient
needs and satisfaction. The third goal of internal marketing will
be to promote organizational loyalty through management to
ensure staff remain with the organization and work in the
organization’s best interest to reduce costs and improve the
environment. The final goal is to improve organizational
performance based efficacy, growth, and financial targets to
produce an environment that employees act in the best interest
of both the patients and organization (Abbasi, Haghighi,
Maskan, Ashkani, & Mohammadi 2017). In many cases a mobile
clinic may feel disengaged from the organization due to the
constantly changing environment and lack of stability within
daily events. As a result forming an environment within the
organization that promotes a cohesive community that focuses
on both employee and patient satisfaction is necessary for
14. success. This method of marketing is a low cost solution for
internal marketing as it focuses on staff engagement through
communication.
External Marketing
External marketing for this project should focus on
identifying the community’s needs and how the organization can
best meet those needs. The mobile clinic is serving both urban
and rural communities so there needs to be an effective method
to inform potential patients of the services being provided
(Purcarea 2019). There are two primary demographics that
require slightly different strategies to inform the patients of
services. Within urban communities the patient demographic
that the organization is attempting to appeal to is frequently
economically disparaged individuals that lack regular access to
preventative health care. To reach individuals within this
demographic it would be beneficial to collaborate with local
communities to inform potential patients of their services. The
primary marketing technique utilized would be compassionate
neighborly care for the patients that would require to mobile
clinic to be located within an area that potential patients have
access to. Having a regular schedule for patients to receive
preventative care and creating a relationship within the
community is a strong marketing technique to increase
patronage. By locating the clinic in the heart of the community
it improves access to care for communities unable to receive
access to care otherwise. When working with the community
from local doctor’s offices and hospitals there is the benefit of
patients being referred to the clinic by other health
professionals who work with these patients. Further marketing
within the community would be to advertise within grocery
stores and other frequently visited locations to notify the public
of the clinic’s presence and services within the community
(Aung, Hill, Bennet, Song, and Oriol 2015). By comparison
rural communities are typically more decentralized and would
benefit greatly from regional marketing such as radio
advertisements indicating time and location of services
15. provided. Direct to consumer advertising is an effective method
of informing potential patients of the availability of services
within the community. The use of radio advertisements within a
rural community my enable potential patients to use the services
provided within the clinic (Limbu, Huhmann, & Peterson 2012).
The advertising budget is heavily allocated towards radio
broadcasting due to the higher cost of advertising that must be
directly negotiated with local radio stations. The ability to
directly inform local communities of upcoming events and
services is heavily relied upon in rural communities. Utilizing
both methods in urban and rural communities will have a
significant impact on the ability of patients to receive services
by being informed and comfortable seeking care.
With the advent of technology, the most important
tool for this project is the utilization of social media to inform
the community of the clinic’s services and location. Social
media has the ability to reach potential patients that would
otherwise not be aware of the potential services. The use of
social media in healthcare marketing has shown a direct
relationship with the community through building a network
that improve health promotion. Social media has brought a new
found connectedness to the world to enable health organizations
to better reporting of health crises and improve health literacy.
Social media is a low cost option to share health information as
it provides customizable daily updates to the community
(Gupta, Tyagi, & Sharma 2013). There will be implementation
of a social media presence within the community to share health
facts and information regarding the mobile health clinic. The
use of social media in implementation of this project is essential
in both rural and urban communities as it allows staff to inform
patients of important information. Focusing on provision of a
social media presence is a low-cost option to notify the public
of events and health issues. The team can work collaboratively
to producing a social media presence with the parent
organization to achieve the ideal message and obtain health
goals.
16. The ultimate goal of the marketing campaign is to
gain the trust of the community through collaborative efforts
within the community and focusing on provision of patient
centered care. When working in communities that lack access to
health care it is necessary to gain their trust by providing direct
communication to the patients. The mobile clinic must take
steps to improve the quality of life through providing a service
that many communities need. The first step in fulfilling
organizational goals for improved public health is a marketing
campaign focused on reaching out to patients and forming a
relationship that enables people to take control of their own
lives.
Financial Information
Within the United States there is around two thousand mobile
health clinics that deliver health care for around five million
visits annually within urban and rural communities. The benefit
of mobile health clinics is that they can be customized to fit the
needs of the community being served. The return of investment
(ROI) for mobile clinics out weight the costs of emergency care
by providing preventative care to patients in need in partnership
with local health care providers and community leaders. The
ability for mobile health clinics to provide inexpensive
preventative care is paramount for improving community health
as it removes barriers many disadvantaged patients face. Mobile
health clinics are a solution to at risk communities by providing
community focused care and education within the community
(Aung, Hill, Bennet, Song, & Oriol 2015). Within the United
States fifty percent of patients diagnosed with hypertension
have the condition under control. Patients treated by a mobile
health clinic were found to have a lower incidence of
myocardial infarction by 45% and lower blood pressure in 32%
of the patients treated than in the general public. It was found
that the implementation of mobile health clinics enabled staff to
better address the needs of their patients and helping them
adhere to necessary lifestyle changes. Due to the lack of
preventative in certain communities, the use of the emergency
17. department (ED) for non-emergency use and preventative care
revolve around 40% of the care provided costing $558 million.
The rate at which impoverished communities utilized the ED for
non-emergency use was three times the average. Further
research indicated that use of mobile health clinics reduced the
average hospital stay from 7.9 days to 5.8 days while reducing
the cost of care from $13 thousand to $10 thousand in elderly
populations (Yu, Hill, Ricks, Bennet, & Oriol 2017). Research
suggests the implementation of mobile health clinics as an
effective method of improving community health while
decreasing the cost of care within communities that lack access
to care. The American Heart Association and Hypertension is
dedicated to improving the quality and access to care within the
United States through addressing disparities within
communities.
The American Heart Association operates as a non-
profit organization that provides funding to research, education,
training, and community services. The organization currently
operates with a mixed asset portfolio that in 2019 equated to
$1,441,873 and a total liability of $496,329. The organization
currently $130 million in long term investments and $150 in
short term investments as of June 2019 (American Heart
Association 2019).

The cost of implementation of a mobile health clinic can be
anywhere from $500-$600 thousand a year, but the net return is
indicated by decreased use of the ED resulting in $3 million in
health care savings. Many patients that visited one mobile
health clinic in Boston stated that they would have visited the
ED if this service was not available (Worth 2013). By
partnering with local hospitals, the mobile health clinic will be
able to offset some of the costs of operation by utilizing
hospital staff members to provide preventative health services.
It is in the best interest of the current community health care
providers to partner with the American Heart Association to
provide diagnostic services from checking blood pressure and
provision of EKGs as necessary. A partnership between the
local hospitals is paramount for the success of this program as it
alleviates the burden of care from the hospitals while decreasing
the cost incurred by the American Heart Association. By serving
the disenfranchised patients before their condition worsens,
hospitals can reduce inpatient costs by fulfilling a nonprofit
commitment to provide low cost preventative care.
