A windshield assessment
A windshield assessment is a survey that is completed while riding in a car with someone who is familiar with a specific area or location. In our review, our team embarked on the project in order to unearth health specifics and issues in the organization's service region. Numerous meetings and engagements were held with a sample of community people in order to capture the particular demands. The findings were the result of extensive study that served as the foundation for determining the health concerns of the people served by the organization (Drevdahl & Grevstad, 2001).
Vulnerable or diverse population
Vulnerable or diverse population refers to those who have been affected by structural inequities and structural violence. In turn, it results in social suffering and the burden of ill health. When data was conclusively analyzed, the primary health concern noted affecting the population was trauma (Guzys, 2013). Exclusion resulting from poorly drafted policies and practices in the system lead to the culmination of the health anxiety. The community felt neglected and abandoned thereby culminating to psychological effects such as trauma that was highly prevalent.
How the organization serves the healthcare concern and their communication to the people
For a solution to the problem, the team seems to be putting effort and attention to the matter. Currently, they are digging deeper into reasons causing the health concern. Information obtained is of the essence as it would enable it to formulate policies and programs that would be of great contribution (Davies, Washington & Bindman, 2002). The institution is trying to reach out to the people so as to get a look at their accounts to establish firsthand experience and understanding. Data obtained would be of an immense impact, as its analysis would provide a guided framework to mitigate the situation. Additionally, conceptualizing approaches to providing care.
Gaps in the healthcare given to the population
However, there were gaps pinpointed in the health care provided by the organization. Among the notable one was the lack of adequate information by the organization to confront the matter (Davies, Washington & Bindman, 2002). Since there is no clear understanding of the hidden issues, they tend to take the matter lightly. No through consideration is put to come up with a final solution. Treatment availed is, therefore, substandard and not of the required precision hence halfway confronting the health concern.
The other gap is equipment and facility inefficiency (Davies, Washington & Bindman, 2002). The two factors are another cause of the failure to tackle the matter. Patients are unable to receive proper attention as the shortage of facilities challenges the organization. Therefore, no matter the seriousness of the concern, it's unable to receive the much-needed attention and care that lead to a permanent solution.
Evidence-based strategies to bridge the gap in healthcare services provided
For a solution, some plans need to come in handy to close the gap. One would be contextually simple care programs and services. It’s the concept whereby patients care is supposed to include services explicitly tailored for the local population (Drevdahl & Grevstad, 2001). The organization should address adapting to report the demographic and social trends.
The other strategy is counter intersecting oppressions of health and quality of life. The organization needs to understand how diversity operates in structures including health. In turn, it would lead to the shaping of the population's healthcare experiences and access to services (Drevdahl & Grevstad, 2001).
Creating opportunities to promote and foster engagement with the population. Enhancing capacity in the organization by involving collaborations will maximize opportunities to address their problems. Tailor made solutions would hence be realized to suit their needs and provide support to them.
Barriers to implementation of the strategies
Such plans often face many challenges in their quest for implementation. An example would be inadequate funding for the vulnerable population. The procedures require resources to enhance them being carried out. It’s inadequacy; therefore, limit the capability and full potential for the organization to carry out their mandate. Persistence in the problem continues consequently impacting the victims longer.
The other barrier is knowledge gap and an inverse care (Davies, Washington & Bindman, 2002). The inability to understand their problems leads to exclusion and ignoring by society. They receive the least healthcare concern and thereby continue suffering silently. Trauma continues impacting and affecting them simultaneously.
In conclusion
In conclusion, vulnerable population health concerns need to be addressed similarly to the rest. It would lead to bettering and improving their quality of life.
