Case Study : The Uninsured Population

Population health nurses can first be aware that there is an issue. After understanding the importance of helping the uninsured population the nurse should begin to search for available resources for the community. This portion of the vulnerable population may not be familiar with some of the available insurance options. The nurse can have clinics set up and, funded by donations from drug companies and hospitals to administer vaccinations, offer free screenings, and give coupons for medication, while

Background The United States health care public safety net system largely provides healthcare services to the uninsured and the under insured. However, this vulnerable population still cannot access adequate care and compared to the privately insured population, the uninsured receive less preventative and specialty health care services. The need for safety net providers to improve the delivery and access to care has led to increased funding through the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act

Modeling the Determinant of Access to Hypertension Medication: Using a Multinomial Logistic Regression ABSTRACT The main objective of the study was to understand the general influence to people diagnosed with high blood pressure not being able to seek help from a healthcare provider due to costs. This paper analyzes findings from five different groups of audiences, belonging to diverse cultures and further the relationship between income and hypertension. The results showed that low­ income individuals

certain uninsured individuals and no or low-income households can qualify for Medicaid or coverage through one of the health insurance marketplace exchange. North Carolina is viewed as an example of the impact the ACA would have on the nation. North Carolina is one of the states that chose not to expand Medicaid (Holmes, 2013). In this paper, I will explain my analysis of the impact of the ACA on North Carolina’s adolescent and young adult, working, non-working, and childless adult population. Impact

in health care coverage, whether partial or full year gaps, have been linked to adults with serious, chronic health conditions. According to research done by Gulley, Rasch, and Chan (2011), among all working-aged adults, 28 million (16%) remained uninsured for all 12 months, and an additional 21 million (12%) reported part year coverage. The goal of the health care reform was to eventually provide equal care coverage and quality to all Americans. The primary focus of researchers studying the health

there are 51 million (16.4%) uninsured individuals in the Unites States and a large percentage of those individuals are Hispanic. Among Hispanics ages 18-64, 37% are uninsured, which is about twice the size when compared to the proportion of uninsured among the general population, and nearly 2.5 times the proportion of white, non-Hispanics. Additionally, 2.9 million Hispanic children who are younger than 18 years old (21%) are uninsured. This compares with uninsured rates among children who are younger

socioeconomic factors has affect health care when it is accessed. In Unhealthy and Uninsured: Exploring Racial Differences in Health and Health Insurance Coverage Using a Life Table Approach by James B. Kirby and Toshiko Kaneda, they measure the uninsured by analyzing racial ethnicity between blacks and whites. In addition to this, they wanted to measure how having health insurance would affect the health of the uninsured and how much age and race could affect how healthy they were. This research focuses

significantly shifted uninsured patient healthcare provider utilization, from emergency departments and free clinics, towards community health centers and federally qualified health centers. Yet major gaps in healthcare coverage persist due to states choosing not to expand Medicaid, exclusion of undocumented immigrants, and misunderstandings of the ACA. Health care safety net providers must understand their changing demographics and the needs of vulnerable uninsured patient populations. In doing so, healthcare

behind-the-scenes information about the project. Frequent video updates from the project are posted on the blog. These videos examine what life is like in an American public hospital caring for a community of largely uninsured patients. Many hospitals and health systems provide charity care for uninsured individuals when they require acute care, but the most forward thinking ones are also concerned with caring for this
