Socio-Demographic Model Of Health Services

The model explains the factors that motivate individuals to engage in behaviour for a healthy living. The health belief model proposes that a person 's health-related behaviour depends on the person 's perception of four critical areas: 1. the severity of a potential illness, 2.

A model of SDM called the Interprofessional Shared Decision-Making Model provides some guidance with respect to the different levels of support needed to provide SDM. The model address three levels within the health care system. The micro-level is the individual level where the patient presents with a health problem that requires a decision. The meso-level incorporates the health care teams within an organization. The macro-level refers to the broader policies and social context that can facilitate or hinder the SDM process.

The theoretical framework gives a detailed reason to why the highlighted research ques-tion exists. Orem’s self-care deficit theory of nursing is the theoretical framework relat-ing to this research because the theory is further divided into three sub-theories in which requisite are line with the following: Individual stages of development and goals, Health conditions, Developmental states, Energy consumption and expenditure, Atmospheric conditions and also the theory gives room to investigate possible causes of malnutrition alongside nurse’s intervention by assessing the need for care, approaches and required interventions. According Orem in 2001, nursing can be viewed as part of the health sector that provides authorized care to individuals.

Each pattern is an expression of biopsychosocial integration which can be influenced by biological, developmental, cultural, social and religious factors. The functional pattern includes: 1. Health Perception- Health Management Pattern: - Perceived pattern of health - Knowledge of lifestyle and relationship to health - Knowledge of preventive health

The first fragment includes the “operational capabilities for persons’ deliberate engagement in self care”, the second requires the identification of capabilities a person needs to engage in self care, and the third one includes the understanding of “the foundational capabilities and dispositions needed for the engagement in any and all forms of deliberate action (Orem & Taylor, 2011, p. 39). Additionally, Orem and Taylor (2011) mention basic conditioning factors affecting personal and environmental aspects. According to Orem and Taylor (2011), the factors include demographics like age, gender, developmental and health state, sociocultural orientation, family system factors, patterns of living, environmental factors, and resource availability and adequacy (p.

Identification of Concepts/Theories 1. Concepts • Public Health Management can defined as set of activities which are planning (very important) and decision making, organizing (continous) ,leading and controlling that are directed at an organization resources such as human, financial, physical and information. This concept of management helps us understand the structure and operations of the health system and provide an opportunity to manage the complex nature of the health systems and rationale for quality management of the needed resources. • The concept of strategic management which is a set of managerial decisions and actions that determines the long-run performance of an organization such as FHI360 etc which includes internal and external environment scanning; strategy formulation, strategy implementation and ;evaluation and control.

Abstract Survival analysis is normally used to describe the analysis of data that depend on the time between constant starting point until the occurrence of specific event or endpoint. There are certain aspects of the survival analysis data, such as censoring and non-normality, which can generate great difficulty when trying to analyze data using traditional statistical models. In this paper, the Kaplan-Meier estimator is used to estimate the survival function. Also Log-Rank test is used to compare between groups using the stages of the illness as a comparing factors. Finally, Cox’s regression model is one of the most applied methods in medical research, is used to determine the factors that affect the survival time and assess the relative

( Williams 2004 ). also , wasted nursing care had important impact on nurse-reported counter events such as hospital acquired infections, patients taking error medications or dosage , and more accident of patient falls causing injury. The quality of care on the basis of nursing care insufficiency was also explored and indicated that a important relationship presented between quality care and patient safety ratings . ( Schubert et al 2012 ) . However , Nursing clinical rounds lead nurses to interact with patients, respond to their interest , and adjust the unsatisfying conditions.

Culture refers to the unified forms of philosophies and human behaviors pooled within a particular society. These unified forms classify adherents as part of an assemblage and extricate adherents from other assemblages. It includes the language, religion, sexual orientation, upbringing, life experience, geographical origin, ethnicity and assemblage history. Each culture has beliefs concerning health, disease, treatment and health care providers (https://www.kidsnewtocanada.ca/culture/influence). All cultures have schemes of health beliefs to elucidate the grounds of illness, by what means it can be cured or treated, and who ought to be involved in the process.

The health seeking behaviour of a community determines how health services are used and in turn the health outcomes of populations .Factors that determine health behaviour may be physical, socio-economic, cultural or political .Indeed, the utilization of a health care system may depend on educational levels, economic factors, cultural beliefs and practices. Other factors include environmental conditions, socio-demographic factors, knowledge about the facilities, gender issues, political environment, and the health care system itself .Several factors can determine the choice of health care providers that patients use. These include factors associated with the potential providers (such as quality of service and area of expertise) and those that relate to the patients themselves (such as age, education levels, gender, and economic status) .

The relationship is influenced by two major categories of factors: (1) environmental factors that may influence client behaviour; and (2) organizational factors that may influence care providers behaviour. Both types of factors may influence the behaviour of the healthcare team, just as the healthcare team may effect changes in them. Educational activities, documentation and follow-up may lead managers to seek to reduce the number and duration of seclusion episodes Larue, C. et al

Correct me if I am wrong but I do not think this has anything to do with going from say 1371 to 1391. This has all to do with this script control feature on older clients vs newer clients. Older servers will not support script control because this is a new feature. Older clients will receive the script control policy and throw it away because it does not know about this new feature. When the client auto-updates to a newer build that supports script control it needs a refresh of that policy to enable it.

Sociologist David Williams states that all policies impact health policy. This is exemplified across a wide rage of policies in the US. These policies are flawed and corrupt, polarizing the nation racially and by socioeconomic status (SES) and resulting in great disparities in health. Although policy and law has evolved, presenting a more progressive and “color-blind” front, it remains an obstacle to ending disparities in health. Many of these policies, such as housing, environmental, and labor, are interconnected and have many aspects to them that affect health policy.

Integrated healthcare is key to eliminating mental and physical health disparities by addressing the needs of people based on their differences in their race, socio-economic status, and culture. An integrated healthcare organization is competent of responding to a community with challenges of long standing health disparities. Healthcare professionals in an integrated system are cross-trained in both physical and behavioral health to handle the challenges of mental and physical health disparities. It improves the quality of care of the population by lowering costs, enhancing patient access, and improving the life of both individuals and families. The con of addressing the long standing health disparity is managing the care of patients and

Disparities are all around us and can account for inequality that is seen among different race, in education, business, politics and even healthcare. Inequality can affect all aspects of a person’s life. In the United States it is unfortunate that every citizen is not privy to the same quality of healthcare. This is one of the major challenges and growing issues for the United States healthcare system. The gap in care is derived from racial, ethnic, gender differences in populations.
