Healthcare Project

Heath is one of the basic needs that need a lot more attention in terms of its reach to the public. There are people in the global who up to this time cannot access quality and affordable health care. The move by most governments to introduce medical schemes to make healthcare accessibility easy is good. However, majority of the population in the middle and low class cannot cater for this scheme. Even though it has many advantages, for one to subscribe, they have to overlook a number of potential factors. Medical insurance providers operate on very strict rules and regulations that govern their daily transactions (Green & Rowell, 2013). These include timely payment of premiums and the prescribed amount for the insured. The organization-Trust Free Care Centre-has come out with a plan to give attention to those who cannot get medical care due to poverty and related issues. The opening of a clinic in the area to cater for the less privileged financially will be a major breakthrough in the area for the natives.

Economic issues

The capacity to afford healthcare is dependent on the economic independence of a person. The introduction of medical insurance, on the other hand, is a major problem tom the poor. This is because those who cannot potentially afford to pay for the premium find themselves in horrible situations when sickness occurs (Green & Rowell, 2013). Therefore, if one is to meet this important and unavoidable need, a reliable source of income is necessary. Unemployment comes as a threat to them because it deprives the ability to what they can pay. This is because it is a permanent and very uncompromising situation. Once one lacks cash, they suffer a number of ailments from psychological to mental illness.

There are people who are actively in employment but earn little. This makes them languish in a class where everything they yearn to do becomes a nightmare. With the ever-increasing healthcare costs, medical insurance companies also hike their premiums. Therefore, potential insured cannot access this scheme to help them when they are sick. They become unable to meet the minimum requirements to join the insurance sector that can improve their lives. This makes them shun away from even seeking medical attention when the need arises. These important economic factors discussed above hinder people for living simple worth lives. The organization has the capacity to consolidate all the available economic factors to make the program a success. This will include the need to doing all possible things to ensure that all people can afford health care. In addition, this will be beneficial as it will enhance lowering of the poverty levels.

Needs of the population

The population in question for this benefit has health as their core special need. This translates to having an instance in which medical care affordability in reach for everyone. The need to have reliable heath care is worrying to most people. Since sickness is a natural phenomenon in most instances, people deserve to have a healthcare system that is affordable to them always. This is the effort to decrease the number of mortality rates in the region. Health is one factor that individuals or even organizations should not underestimate. The people to get this offer will have a major relief and boost to guide them, out of critical situations. This will make the grateful and willing support the effort for the benefit of all people (Slottje & Tchernis, 2010).

Process involved in the program

The project is an initiative by a non-profit organization with the feel for humanity. Serving the local community is in the interest of this organization. This will come as an extension of service delivery to the supportive society. There is various process in place to oversee the successful implementation of the plan. This includes getting acclamation for the public on the move to continue with the implementation stage. The community is welcome in terms of decision-making elements and giving their thoughts and ideas. The ideas will have to gain approval for the government health sector. Proposals from the public for tendering and construction of the project will be welcome thereafter. On completion of the project, the organization will oversee the successful stocking of the clinic with proper facilities and employment of qualified medical staff. This will enhance the smooth running of operations in the clinic for and safe handling of patients (Feldstein, 2011).

Benefits of the project

There are benefits that will come with the project if launched. This includes the access of health care to the poor and middle class inhabitants of the community (Slottje & Tchernis, 2010). The costs will for accessing the services will be very friendly since the organizations aim is not profit. The objective for starting the project is giving to the community. On top of this, project will eliminate the need to have insurance schemes for the low class. The scheme eats a lot into the income of a person. This money will rather benefit the people in plans to live well. This will thus lead to a reduction in health problems. Ultimately, the program will lead to a reduction in poverty levels. This is since most people will not have a difficulty in looking finding money to satisfy the need. Therefore, they will live above the standards of living in the place improving their lives.

Conclusion

According to Feldstein (2011), the move to have a clinic for locals in the area is beneficial to many people as it will give them the health attention they require. Healthcare being a primary need, access to it will have many advantages to the beneficiaries. This will in turn lead to having energetic and vibrant individuals in the society. The result will be people willing to expand such projects to other places to have a healthy world with the prevailing financial situations. The will of doing something outdoes the effort to discriminate in terms of finance on health matters.

Community Project Power Point Instructions
1.  After examining the document Healthy People 2020 (the web site is in Readings), choose one focus area that is of interest to you.
2.  Next choose a population group that you will work with in the chosen focus area.
3.  Write an example of each of the three different levels of health prevention activity for your chosen area.
4.  Give an explanation how you would work with the community population that you have chosen.
5.  Choose one of your prevention levels to expand on and make your slides fit the one focus area and one level of health prevention activity you choose.
6.  Include a reference page at the end to reference the materials you investigated and cited in your presentation.

This is not a paper, but a power point presentation.  You should make between 10 and 15 slides.  Explain in detail how you would carry out your program.  The reference page will not be part of

the power point slides, but put into a word document and submitted along with your power point slides in the dropbox.

For example: I choose heart disease as my focus area. An example of a primary health prevention activity would be encouraging a group of elderly clients to eat a heart healthy diet. An example

of a secondary health prevention activity would be advising your client to have a lipid panel performed to screen for cholesterol concerns. An example of a tertiary health prevention activity

would be assisting your client in finding a post-cardiac arrest support group.
