Welcome to this presentation on Advocating for Lasting Change. This presentation will explore the critical health issues affecting the Jordan community, where significant challenges in mental health, inadequate health insurance, and poor management of chronic conditions are harming public health. I will introduce a change proposal based on data-driven solutions aimed at improving mental health support for school-aged children, expanding health insurance coverage, and managing chronic diseases for low-income individuals. This proposal will leverage government policies that provide free treatment for individuals with pre-existing conditions, particularly chronic diseases, ensuring access to necessary care and support.
This presentation addresses the following key stakeholders whose involvement is crucial to the success of the proposed healthcare changes:
Policymakers: Your role in developing and enacting effective health policies is pivotal in advancing the proposed change and addressing the community’s health concerns.
Governmental and Non-Profit Organizations: By expanding health programs and services, you can help alleviate health disparities and work toward achieving the proposed objectives.
Healthcare Professionals: Your expertise is essential in delivering mental health support and managing chronic conditions within the community, helping to ensure better health outcomes.
Community Leaders and Advocates for Change: Your continuous support and advocacy are necessary for transforming the healthcare landscape and improving the well-being of the Jordan community.
Educational Institutions: Collaborating with schools to promote mental health among students will foster a safe environment where youth are protected from the adverse effects of mental health issues.
These stakeholders play integral roles in ensuring the successful implementation of the healthcare change proposal, promoting a community that prioritizes the health and well-being of its population.
An environmental analysis of the Jordan community was conducted through a windshield survey, offering insights into both the strengths and areas requiring improvement:
| Positive Features | Areas for Improvement |
|---|---|
| – Basic amenities such as schools, shops, recreational areas, and healthcare services are present. | – Mental health issues among school students, leading to serious outcomes like suicide. |
| – Community members demonstrate resilience and a willingness to address health challenges together. | – Limited health insurance coverage and financial struggles in managing chronic conditions. |
| – Strong neighborhood bonds and a collaborative spirit. | – Scarcity of mental health resources and financial barriers to healthcare access. |
Several social determinants significantly affect the health of the Jordan community, particularly education and economic stability. Educational institutions lack sufficient health literacy programs, contributing to mental health issues among students. Additionally, economic instability hinders access to comprehensive healthcare, with many residents unable to afford full health insurance coverage or manage chronic conditions due to financial limitations. These challenges are addressed in the change proposal through targeted resource allocation and local health advocacy.
The proposed healthcare changes are based on the following framework to address the Jordan community’s health challenges:
Mental Health Programs: Conducting mental health initiatives in schools to support affected students and guide them toward healthier thinking patterns.
Health Insurance Access: Advocating for expanded Medicaid and Medicare services to ensure greater health insurance coverage for low-income individuals.
Chronic Disease Management: Empowering community members to utilize the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to secure treatment for chronic health conditions, improving disease management.
The primary goals include reducing mental health crises, increasing health insurance coverage, and improving chronic disease management by educating the community on available resources.
Addressing the health concerns of the Jordan community requires robust policy support and financial assistance. Government programs like the ACA, which prohibit insurance companies from denying coverage for pre-existing conditions, are essential in ensuring equitable healthcare access. Financial resources are also needed to implement mental health programs in schools and support other healthcare initiatives. The proposed changes align with governmental health objectives, making policy and financial support critical for ensuring long-term improvements in public health.
Research supports the effectiveness of the proposed changes:
Mental Health Support in Schools: Evidence suggests that 81% of teenagers worldwide faced mental health challenges during COVID-19, underscoring the need for school-based interventions (Rao & Rao, 2021).
Expanded Health Insurance Coverage: Studies show that broader access to Medicaid and Medicare can significantly improve community health outcomes (Martin et al., 2021).
Chronic Disease Education: Educating populations on government policies like the ACA can help individuals with chronic diseases manage their conditions more effectively (Myerson & Crawford, 2020).
The proposed changes are grounded in evidence-based research, making them essential for addressing the pressing health concerns of the Jordan community.
To ensure the successful implementation of the proposed healthcare changes, a budget estimate has been developed. The first-year operational costs are projected to be $520,000, with startup costs of $24,000. Major budget allocations include salaries for project managers, support staff, and healthcare professionals, as well as educational materials and health insurance for staff members.
| Expense | Cost |
|---|---|
| Project Manager Salary | $60,000 |
| Support Staff Salary | $80,000 |
| Healthcare Professionals | $90,000 each |
| Educational Materials | $50,000 |
| Staff Health Insurance | $25,000 |
| Consultation and Contract Services | $30,000 |
| Travel and Contingency | $45,000 |
This budget is essential for the successful implementation and sustainability of the proposed changes.
The proposed change is guided by Prosci’s Three-Phase process, incorporating the ADKAR model:
Preparing for Change: Raising awareness within the community and encouraging participation.
Managing the Change: Collaborating with stakeholders to implement the proposed initiatives.
Reinforcing the Change: Continuously evaluating and sustaining the changes to ensure long-term success.
This strategic plan will drive the transformation needed to improve health outcomes in the Jordan community.
Our vision aligns with the Healthy People 2030 objectives to enhance health equity, reduce disparities, and improve public health. Transformational leadership will be key to achieving these goals, promoting collaboration, empowerment, and resilience among team members. Through this approach, the Jordan community will be well-positioned to address current health concerns and foster a healthier future.
Stakeholder engagement is essential for the successful implementation of the proposed changes. By addressing their concerns about finances, decision-making involvement, and communication, stakeholders will feel empowered to contribute to the healthcare initiatives. Collaborating with key stakeholders will help achieve long-term health goals and improve the well-being of the Jordan community.
Improving the health of the Jordan community requires the collaborative efforts of policymakers, educators, healthcare professionals, and other stakeholders. This change proposal is grounded in evidence-based research and aims to address the pressing health concerns of mental health, health insurance, and chronic disease management. By leveraging the ADKAR model and aligning with Healthy People 2030 goals, this proposal will bring about meaningful and lasting improvements to public health in the Jordan community.
