Introduction

Patients with critical health conditions and health disabilities have an increased risk of health related issues especially due to the limited access to quality care that is patient-centered. Also, they lack a comprehensive patient care that is needed to address their physical and mental health care needs (Bezyak et al., 2012). This situation is clearly evidenced in our case study of the 52-year-old Caucasian woman. In this paper, we focus on important aspects of coordinated health care and communication between health care providers as a way of addressing Gail’s concern.

Essay

Abstract Researchers have long been exploring the various factors that affect the health condition of individuals and/or groups. They have reported the key factors that seemingly determine health outcomes for vulnerable populations, namely, socioeconomic status (e.g. income, education, and occupation), cultural practices, and social services (e.g. housing, medical care). These so-called social determinants of health largely contribute to health disparities. Health policy has also been reported to significantly influence the health condition of vulnerable population. For instance, in the U.S., health policy is more focused on 'cure' than 'prevention', which, in consequence, channels bulk of the resources toward clinical ...

People are suffering from chronic diseases like asthma, depression, diabetes, heart disease, pain, and even attention and learning problems. Moreover, the pharmaceutical companies are always introducing newer and better medicines and expensive ones too, but still, there ...

The prison system that currently exists today offers a retribution measure instead of corrective actions to assert and ensure that the convicted assailants, after serving their prison time, could go back to the community as responsible individuals. While this is the case, a documentary featured in 2005 and 2009 documents a different role of prisons. Aside from housing convicted individuals, it also serves as a modern day asylum for mentally-ill individuals convicted of committing a crime against society.

I am writing this memo as my personal take on the existing problem regarding the release of convicted mentally-ill individuals to the society after serving ...

The article of the authors addresses the ongoing debate on the mechanism that is being used to measure poverty in the United States.

As the work deals with medical spending as a component of the definition of poverty, then the method by which medical spending is integrated into the understanding of poverty in the United States. In the work of the authors, there are several points worth noting. One, medical expenditures, integrated into the construction of ...
