Reflection on Healthcare Delivery Models and Nurse’s Role in Public Health
Since commencing this RN-BSN program at West Coast University, my perception of healthcare delivery models and the role of nurses in public health programs has evolved. Prior to undertaking the course, I did not know that there are different healthcare delivery models since I believed that healthcare delivery is basically about providing care services to patients. I also believed that public health programs are simply policies enacted by the government to promote health. However, the course has changed my perception about healthcare delivery through enabling to understand that there are different healthcare delivery models with different roles for members of the clinical team. Through lessons learned from this course, the healthcare delivery models I support are acute care models, transitional care models, and the collaborative payer model because they are innovative care models through which nurses become care coordinators rather than care providers (Beattie, 2016).
The course has also helped me to understand that public health programs are different and have different objectives in relation to health promotion and disease prevention. The public health programs I am familiar with include the Immune LA Kids Coalition and Healthy Eating, Active Communities (HEAC). These...
However, they differ in the sense that the Immune LA Kids Coalition focuses on promoting the use of culturally appropriate immunizations. In contrast, Healthy Eating, Active Communities (HEAC) focuses on lessening disparities in diabetes and obesity through enhancing food and physical fitness among school-age children.
My academic work has enabled me to achieve different evidence-based practice model outcomes including outcomes #2, #5, #6 and #7. In relation to Outcome#2, I have conducted an exploration of how nurses utilize research studies and evidence in their clinical and operational undertakings/procedures. The exploration provided a basis for me to understand the role of research and scientific evidence in nursing practice and clinical processes. The two basic elements of research process and models learned in this process are robust scientific evidence and compassionate and effective care. As I pointed out, “For most in the nursing profession, the guiding principle is often the delivery of compassionate and effective care so as to ensure that the patients’ needs are met in…

A Model Healthcare Delivery System Introduction The healthcare delivery system also referred to in short as the HCDS is the most effective system that works for most healthcare organizations in all countries with fair, effective and efficient distribution of resources. It is a fast growing service that demands attention from various quarters and domains. At the optimal level, the service program presents relief and hope to the individual, and the general population.
Health Care Delivery Systems The structure and organization of the resources that make it possible to provide health care services to target populations is referred to as a health care system. The variety of health care systems is very wide with strong evolutionary histories tied to the governments, religious organizations, charitable organizations, labor unions, and for-profit market participants.

Nurse Anesthetist's Practice In Many Delivery Models Of Care Nurse anesthetists across the nation have administered anesthesia to people for a century and a half -- long before it became a doctor specialty. Conventional training occurred in military or hospital-based programs ranging from some months to even years in length. Surgeons strongly supported Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNA) practice rights and abilities, and continue to do so. Dr. George Crile, Cleveland
Health Care Systems Over the last several years, America's health care system has been undergoing a tremendous amount of changes. At the heart of these transformations is the role of the federal government in regulating the delivery of various services. For some this is troubling, as it will lead to a larger form of socialized medicine. This is when consumers will have less choice and the underlying quality will decrease. While
Health Policy Discussion Responses POST Health Policy and Its Influence The discussion post authored by L.N. concerning health policy and its various influences was well-written and informative, providing a clear definition of the term while also providing tangible examples of health policies as they currently exist. By beginning the discussion with a scholarly reference to the definition of health policy constructed by Williams and Torrens in 2008, which classifies the term as a
Public Health Preparedness The concept of 'public health preparedness' (PHP) has been garnering recognition worldwide, given the global-scale threats which are constantly encountered by professional healthcare organizations, including bioterrorism, Ebola, the West Nile Virus, and influenza. Preparedness approaches have brought about improvements in the overall healthcare system, by enabling swifter responses to diverse kinds of hazards across the globe. A majority of PHP measures adopted in America are government-judged; this gives
