Promoting Health Equity Through ACO Reach
 Addressing Disparities
One of the primary goals of the ACO Reach is to address disparities in healthcare access and outcomes. It does so by
identifying vulnerable populations and tailoring care plans to meet their unique needs. This approach helps reduce disparities
related to race, socioeconomic status, and geography.
 Community Engagement
The ACO Reach Program places a strong emphasis on community engagement. It involves community leaders, patient
advocates, and local organizations in the decision-making process. By actively involving the community, healthcare providers
gain valuable insights into the specific challenges faced by underserved populations.
 Coordinated Care
A cornerstone of the program is coordinated care. Healthcare providers within the ACO work together seamlessly to ensure
that patients receive timely and appropriate care. This collaborative approach reduces fragmentation in healthcare delivery
and enhances the patient experience.

 Telehealth and Technology
The Program embraces telehealth and technology to improve access to care, especially in remote or underserved areas.
Telehealth services enable patients to consult with healthcare professionals without the need for in-person visits, breaking
down geographical barriers.
 Preventive Care
Preventive care is a vital component of the ACO Reach Program. By focusing on preventive measures, such as
vaccinations, screenings, and health education, the program aims to reduce the incidence of chronic diseases and improve
overall community health.
 Data-Driven Decision Making
ACOs under the ACO Reach Model rely on data-driven decision-making. They analyze health data to identify trends,
assess the effectiveness of interventions, and continuously improve care delivery. This data-centric approach ensures that
resources are allocated where they are needed most.

One of the primary hurdles in achieving global healthcare equity is the uneven distribution of medical resources. Access to healthcare should not be determined by geographical boundaries. Initiatives to establish medical outreach programs, telemedicine services, and mobile clinics can bridge the gap, ensuring that even the remotest corners of the world, including places like top hospitals in Gurgaon, have access to essential healthcare services.

DQ 3-2 Integrated health care delivery systems (IDS) was developed to initiate excellence health care access and quality of care to entire populations and community by collaborating and coordinating diverse healthcare professionals. Main driving force of IDS is patient centered care by using resources such as collaborating care from physicians and allied health care professionals to construct continuum of care, to deliver care in the most cost-effective way, utilize trained and competent providers by utilizing evidenced -based practice and combine innovation such as EHR (Electronic Health Records) system and team work to produce improved healthcare system. Excellence in care is attainable by incorporating allied healthcare professional, as high quality care is possible when coordination is unified and covers all areas of responsibilities. For an example-combining resources and coordination of care by involving physicians, dietitian, physical therapy or occupational therapy to work with patient diagnosed with obesity by promoting teamwork approach and ultimately delivering endurance in care and utilizing various resources. Barriers to IDS can be a huge block in delivering quality care. Among many one limitation is physicians not participating in integrated healthcare system, which disconnect physicians from team based approached by deterring continuous quality improvement (essentialhospitals.org, n.d). This is because, system such as EHR or new innovative quality assurance programs are time consuming and overwhelming, thus decline in physicians support in IDS programs. By implementing user friendly system approach, enforcing focused based care and accepting the necessity of evidenced based practice can improve these barriers. Hence, increasing clinical expertise to produce better service and quality of care in integrated delivery system. Essentialhospitls.org (n.d). Retrieved from: http://essentialhospitals.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Integrated-Health-Care-Literature-Review-Webpost-8-22-13-CB.pdf Dq 3-1 1. In the US, there is not one type of health care system but rather a subset of systems, some of them catering to specific populations. These subsystems include managed care, military, and vulnerable populations. Managed care is a health care delivery system that seeks to achieve efficiency by integrating the basic functions of health care delivery, employs mechanisms to control utilization of medical services, and determines the price at which the services are purchased and how much the providers get paid, military health care system is available free of charge to active duty military personnel and covers preventative and treatment services that are provided by salaried health care personnel and this system combines public health with medical services, and vulnerable population subsystem offers comprehensive medical and enabling services targeted to the needs of vulnerable populations and government health insurance programs provide.

Peer response’s # 2 Rules: Please try not to make the responses super lengthy, contribute one fact AND include references HMGT 420 · Wk#3 Talar posted Jun 4, 2016 11:57 PM 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. Respond to Talar here: · Vanscoy, Week 3 Sarah posted Jun 5, 2016 11:07 AM 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. .

Choose 5 partnerships to engage and explain why you would invite each of these people//organizations to be a part of the coalition. The creation of community health promotion and education programs takes into consideration several agencies or parties who help in the achievement of the desired health goals. Each of the partners will address its roles using different approaches depending on their area of expertise. This is an important factor to consider as different institutions address health promotion using different approaches and perspectives. The overall outcome from the contribution of every partner should be able to restore and promote the physical, emotional, spiritual, psychological, and social wellness of the community in relation to the health issue being suffered (Minelli, & Breckon, 2009). Chronic diseases are currently the leading causes of death in the community due to their complexity and the severe effects on human health. The community health promotion and education program will be provided by the ‘Health Concerns Coalition’ which will be made up of the following partners; community religious groups, Cancer Supportive Care Foundation, an association of cancer-survivor patients, nutritional organizations, and the local authority. 1.

Heritage Healthcare

ssuser150203

Heritage Healthcare:- Legacy healthcare refers to the traditional model of healthcare that has been in vogue for many years. It is characterized by a fee-for-service payment model, where healthcare providers are reimbursed for each service they provide to patients. This model has been a foundation of the US healthcare system for many years, but it has faced increasing criticism for its high costs and inefficiencies. In this essay, we'll explore the history, challenges, and possible solutions to legacy healthcare. History of Legacy Healthcare Legacy healthcare emerged in the United States in the early 20th century. At the time, health care was largely provided by individual physicians and hospitals, and patients paid for services out of pocket. However, with the rise of employer-sponsored health insurance during World War II, a new payment model emerged. This model was based on a fee-for-service system, where healthcare providers were reimbursed for each service they provided to patients. The system was designed to encourage healthcare providers to provide more services, with the assumption that more services would lead to better health outcomes. Over the past few years, the fee-for-service model has become deeply ingrained in the US healthcare system. It has been the foundation of the Medicare and Medicaid programs, which provide healthcare for millions of Americans. However, as the cost of health care continues to rise, the limits of this model are becoming increasingly apparent. Challenges of Legacy Healthcare One of the main challenges of legacy healthcare is its high cost. The fee-for-service model incentivizes healthcare providers to provide more services, whether those services are truly needed or not. This has given rise to a phenomenon known as overuse, where patients receive more tests, procedures and treatments than they actually need. This not only increases the cost of health care but can also cause harm to patients. For example, unnecessary tests and procedures can expose patients to radiation and other risks. Another challenge of legacy healthcare is its fragmentation. The fee-for-service model encourages healthcare providers to work independently of each other, rather than collaborating to provide coordinated care. This can lead to a lack of communication between healthcare providers, resulting in duplication of services and missed opportunities to meet the health needs of patients. Fragmentation also makes it difficult for patients to navigate the health care system, as they may need to see multiple providers for different health problems. Finally, legacy health care is often criticized for its lack of focus on prevention and population health. The fee-for-service model incentivizes healthcare providers to treat serious illnesses and injuries instead of addressing the underlying causes of poor health. more details
