Every Women Matters Program Research Paper

814 Words4 Pages

The Every Women Matters Program was a program that was put in place to for women to get early cervical and breast cancer screening testing done. This program was for low-income women in the state of Nebraska. Seven different private practices participated in this program. This paper will discuss the reason the program was put into place as well as the reasons it failed.

The Every Women Matters Program was put into place for women between the ages of 40 to 64 with limited income. These women are not on Medicaid or Medicare and do not have private insurance. The program was designed to help women receive education regarding monthly breast self-exams, clinical breast exam, mammogram, Pap test and pelvic exam ("Community Health Services," figure 2). …show more content…

There was interference with the individual personality of all the different heath care workers involved. The different organization involved and their organizations cultures play a key part in the program's failure. Whether it was because of the lack of support from higher-ups or from time restraints six of the seven programs didn’t give it, they're all. There were different leadership roles given to different members of a team where there were no incentives nor was there any negativity associated with failure of the program. The East Harlem Partnership for Cancer Awareness (EHPCA) brought together an academic medical center, public hospital, and two community health centers to offer monthly free prostate cancer screening programs in neighborhood community health centers. The programs included an educational component in Spanish and English, digital rectal examinations (DRE), and blood testing for prostate-specific antigen

    This is the system that when it comes to treating the underprivileged puts them at risk since they are the ones that suffer from the mistakes of medical students. On chapter 9 we are introduced to Mr. Rose, a man who “was clearly sick, but wasn't actively dying.” Mr. Rose was under the care of medical student Pearson, who worked in the clinic that helped the underprivileged, yet the help was not enough and full of mistakes. Mr. Rose died because Pearson couldn't detect what was wrong with his urine sample soon enough to get him help. Guilty, Pearson wished for Mr. Rose to have been insured and have had a primary care doctor that would’ve caught the cancer in its early stages and provided him with the necessary

    Women’s Rights and The Constitution At the mark of the Seneca Falls Convention’s 75th anniversary, 1923, Alice Paul drafted the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) that called for a constitutional amendment that specifies equal rights of citizenship for women. The ERA, however, took half of a century to be passed by Congress for ratification, and this passage to the state legislatures is reflective of the period’s strengthened political demands of the women’s movement. Inspired by the concurrent Civil Rights Movement, sparked and moved by Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique and the National Organization for Women (NOW), and rendered by the real economic and political advancement of American women, the ERA was able to launch a serious nationwide discussion for itself in 1972.

  • Disparity In Health Care

    463 Words  | 2 Pages

    Healthcare disparity can be explained as the gap created in the delivery of healthcare to communities which causes some communities to receive better healthcare than others. Some factors that can cause these disparities include race, socioeconomic status, location, and gender. Because of health care disparities, there are a lot of patients who are and will be at risk for many diseases such as diabetes, obesity and hypertension. These disparities negatively affect the overall cost of delivering quality healthcare and are issues that must be addressed by the people who know them best, the health care workers. Through the NURSE Corps Program I hope to help address these imbalances in underserved communities in various ways.

    Were women important to United States history? Let’s be honest, majority of the time women get maybe a few pages in textbooks and are rarely covered in most history classes. The Progressive Era is where this changes; where women are finally brought into the limelight. The role of women within the Progressive Era and the establishment of the welfare system were both audacious and necessary because the welfare system could not have happened without women’s willingness to fight for the society as a whole, not just themselves.

    Expanding accessibility to affordable healthcare insurance is one way in which our country can begin to increase healthcare that is patient and family centered. One reason for existing disparities are the expenses associated with seeking healthcare. For some people, while the actual monthly payments of their health insurance is affordable, patients still face high deductibles or high out of pocket maximums. By making health insurance attainable for the majority of Americans, this alone is only the first step toward reducing some of the existing health disparities. Money alone is a factor that can deter people from seeking preventive treatment and screenings.

    Health Care Disparities Health care disparities are unfortunate and being culturally competent is an essential step toward eliminating these inequalities. In this discussion, I will review what disparities are associated with the Appalachian culture and how they affect health status, employment, and education. I will also identify two nursing interventions that could be taken to help decrease the affect that health disparities have on the Appalachians and review what the biggest challenge would be when implementing the interventions. There are about 27 million people that live in the area defined as the Appalachian region, which spans 13 states.

  • Disparities In Health Care Essay

    Many Americans were led to believe that the introduction of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in 2009 would put an end to disparities in health care access. While it did improve the situation for a small percentage of the population there are still many Americans who lack access to good quality health care. Health care access in America is determined by money and those in lower socioeconomic groups frequently tend to miss out on adequate care. In a recent health care report by the national health research foundation Kaiser Family Foundation, it was noted “health care disparities remain a persistent problem in the United States, leading to certain groups being at higher risk of being uninsured, having limited access to care, and experiencing poorer quality of care” (Kaiser Family Foundation). The current health care

    We all know that women didn 't have as many rights as men, and they still don 't. Women can now do more than they used to, but they still aren 't equal with men. They have had to fight for so many things like the right to vote and to be equal to men. The 19th amendment, the one that gave women the right to vote, brought us a big step closer. The Equal Rights Movement also gave us the chance to have as many rights as men. Women have always stayed home, cleaned the house, and didn 't even get an education.
