This book was released on 2015-03-16 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Delivers a wealth of information for nurses who wish to open and manage their own health clinics Public health nursing—with its focus on compassionate, holistic care and services to the poor, the aged, those suffering from social injustice, and those without adequate health facilities—had its origins over a century ago with the founding of the Henry Street Settlement in New York City. Embracing the same foundational principles, Nurse-Led Health Clinics is the first book to describe innovative, nurse-managed solutions for improving health care today. It addresses the key business, policy, medical, financial, and operational considerations necessary for successfully opening and operating nurse-led health facilities. With the mission to dramatically expand access to primary and preventive health care, these clinics provide a full range of services—including primary care, health promotion, disease prevention, and behavioral health care—to residents of underserved communities throughout the United States. The book delivers a wealth of comprehensive information for nurses who are considering opening their own clinics. Reinforced with best-practice models and case studies, it discusses what it takes to successfully start and run a nurse-managed health center. The book addresses the history and growth of nurse-led clinics and describes the nurse-led paradigm of care. It identifies the different types of nurse-led clinics (primary care, school based, wellness, and more) and the clinical services offered within them. Also discussed are the requirements and mind-set of potential consumers and strategies for sustainability along with the role of the collaborative team. The pros and cons of a variety of business and operations models are examined along with quality metrics and initiatives. The book also covers various state and federal policy challenges and opportunities and explores the future of nurse-led care in view of ongoing health care reform. Helpful appendices include a start-up checklist, sample bylaws, and a managed-care contracting toolkit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescence is a time of major transition, however, health care services in the United States today are not designed to help young people develop healthy routines, behaviors, and relationships that they can carry into their adult lives. While most adolescents at this stage of life are thriving, many of them have difficulty gaining access to necessary services; other engage in risky behaviors that can jeopardize their health during these formative years and also contribute to poor health outcomes in adulthood. Missed opportunities for disease prevention and health promotion are two major problematic features of our nation's health services system for adolescents. Recognizing that health care providers play an important role in fostering healthy behaviors among adolescents, Adolescent Health Services examines the health status of adolescents and reviews the separate and uncoordinated programs and services delivered in multiple public and private health care settings. The book provides guidance to administrators in public and private health care agencies, health care workers, guidance counselors, parents, school administrators, and policy makers on investing in, strengthening, and improving an integrated health system for adolescents.

Download or read book School Based Health Care and the District of Columbia Safety Net Medical Homes DC Report written by 21st Century School Fund, Washington, DC. and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides the results of research into the variety of health care services currently offered in the public schools in the District of Columbia, with a particular focus on school-based health centers. Also provided are the results of research into the practice of utilizing school-based health centers nationally in the U.S. The report is prepared by the 21st Century School Fund in support of the current Medical Homes DC project led by the DC Primary Care Association (DCPCA). Medical Homes DC is a project to expand, improve or build primary care clinical space in the District, and to ensure that the clinic providers in those spaces have the skills, organizational infrastructure, and equipment to provide high quality care. A medical home is a place where there is a primary care provider who knows a patient?s health history; where a patient will be seen regardless of his or her ability to pay; and where the patient routinely seeks non-emergency medical care. The project is in the first year, with funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS); the D.C. Department of Health (DOH); and Consumer Health, Meyer, Kaiser, and Marpat Foundations. The role of 21CSF in the first year was to be the D.C. public and public charter school facilities and health care services expert; to be the link between the Medical Homes DC team, school facilities and health care staff, and other organizations working to improve school facilities and health care; and to look for opportunities to place new clinics in school sites. This research found that there are a wide variety of health care services and programs offered throughout the D.C. public schools, ranging from part-time (and in some cases full-time) nursing care at every school to fairly comprehensive school-based health centers at three of the schools. Despite the wide range of services, programs, and funding sources, there are significant problems within the current health care system in the D.C. public tem?s effectiveness. One significant problem is the poor state of health care facilities, equipment, and supplies, particularly for nurses. Another problem is the lack of information sharing between and among the various health care entities operating in the public schools. And a third problem is that there is no clear chain of accountability within the system to be responsible for its performance and direction. Based on this review of the D.C. public school health services, specific recommendations are made for how these schools and their partners can strengthen school based health services and create a stronger relationship with the rest of the primary care safety net. Appended are: (1) State Standards for School Based Health Centers; and (2) Sample School Based Health Center Memoranda of Agreement. (Contains 4 tables, pie charts, and color photos of health center exam rooms, in various schools.).

This book was released on 2014-04-04 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examine school-based health clinics and the political considerations and strategies that can help them succeed!The Politics of Youth, Sex, and Health Care in American Schools reveals the history and political dynamics involved in building and sustaining an important innovation in the way health care services are delivered to America’s youth: the school-based health clinic. These clinics provide vital health services--including crucial yet controversial reproductive services--to youth. In addition to analyzing the nature and extent of the political barriers facing school-based clinics, this vital book describes the strategies that have proven most effective in overcoming them.This essential book begins with an overview of the existing literature on the history and provision of health care for youth. Then it presents the results of a study that utilized a two-pronged approach: a nationwide survey of clinic administrators (supplemented with aggregate data) and intensive case studies of five representative locales. By combining the quantitative data from the national survey with the more qualitative information gleaned from the case study field work, The Politics of Youth, Sex, and Health Care in American Schools can deliver broad yet accurate generalizations as well as detailed interpretation of the authors’findings.This informative and insightful volume explores: the ways that school-based health clinics (SBHCs) have evolved, confronted opposition, and grown day-to-day issues that SBHCs face, including inadequate funding, lack of parental involvement, unsupportive teachers and schools, staffing/training issues, cultural issues, and more sources of opposition to SBHCs, including fundamentalist Protestants, Black Evangelicals, Catholics, and conservative parent groups ways to establish successful school health care reforms issues and recommendations for SBHCs in the future To date, there have been very few empirical studies of the politics of school health or of the provision of sexuality-related health services for youth. The greatest depth and breadth of information you can find on the subject is here, in The Politics of Youth, Sex, and Health Care in American Schools.
