Intervention and Health Promotion Plan for Diverse Population

 

Introduction

A health intervention is a strategy or a program developed to improve health in a population of different ages, gender, background, religion, and even race. This programs help to educate and train people the importance of healthcare. Healthcare is majorly a need in these areas, given that some areas are prone to poverty, poor health and lack of good and affordable healthcare. Due to people living in poverty in some of the areas, preventable diseases cause death to people, hence the need to promote healthcare and create awareness. The more populated a place is the more the need for an intervention in matters concerning healthcare.

Part 1: Intervention and Health Promotional Plan

Innovation is a great component that we will use to improve healthcare. New ideas and solutions will be implemented to improve the qualities and services in healthcare. This will include coming up with new products in the healthcare sector to aid in satisfying the patient’s needs .Innovations will be implemented to make services more efficient, eliminate waste of any materials and lower the costs of the products and the services to be offered. This will ensure that even the poor people will be considered and treated.

Performance management is a strategy that will be used to improve the quality of healthcare. This entails establishing proper ways or systems that will give accurate information and at the right time. This will help to know if a health program is working effectively or maybe needs to be changed or updated. This way correct details will be recorded and will help in follow ups. The established systems will be monitored closely and regularly so as to give accurate data.

The human resource management will be improved by developing and advancing the staff’s careers through training time by time. This will help them add more knowledge creating a room for better services to the patients. Regular meetings will be important to help them air their challenges and progresses and discuss how to solve and deal with the challenges. Communication platforms will be provided to ensure that every staff feels free to speak and be heard. Team building activities will be made priority so that the employees can get to know each other, share about themselves. It will give a chance for them to share about their experiences in and out of work making them comfortable and confident in each other.

Technical package is a strategy that will be developed to show evidence and will be used to reduce health problems. It will be used to reduce or control the risk of a possible outcome of a disease. For example a technical package for vaccination will be developed to avoid some diseases that can be protected early enough. Immunization will be given free to every child that needs it. These strategies will be used to control and reduce the healthcare costs.

Partnerships with different organizations will help to improve healthcare. This will enable us to get resources, for example finances, products and even services. They will help in giving ideas that will benefit both parties and help to promote health in the community. Partnering with other organizations will promote and give a big boost to healthcare for example in terms of advertising. They will help us to create more awareness to the people in the community. They will help us reduce on cost in this plan or maybe give us ample time to pay for goods and services. They will aid in providing a means of transport for example an ambulance which is needed for people who live in the interior.

Part 2: Evidence based foundations

In our intervention and promotion plan we will use epidemiological evidence to find the most likely causes of certain diseases in the community. This will be done to reduce the quick spread of infectious diseases to a large number of people over a short period of time. For example we will use programs that will be effective to make sure that clean and safe water is available to the people. This will reduce the risk of diseases like diarrhea and cholera that are mainly caused by taking dirty water. We will develop a deworming program in the community that is cost friendly to eradicate infections brought by worms. This will help and improve health among people living in this diverse populations. This will help in ending and preventing some of the diseases in the community.

Part 3: Cross Cultural Collaborative Opportunities and Strategies

Cross cultural training will be provided to the community to ensure that everyone understands the benefits of healthcare. This will help to bring and improve awareness about the different cultures and bring more openness among them. It will include the importance of cleanliness and hygiene in the community. For example living in an environment that has no stagnant water will keep off mosquitoes that cause malaria, healthy diets keep us from diseases, drinking clean water is essential too. This training will help even those in the community that do not believe in healthcare. It will educate them on the importance of healthcare and also ways of living a healthy life. Training on how to perform first aid and how important it is to the community will be done. This will help to reach out even to the aged and are in need of healthcare.

A leader will be appointed to help control and help in decision making. The leader will promote and encourage hard work and dedication from the employees. He or she will ensure that quality healthcare is provided, safety for the patient and the staff too. He or she will come up with agendas and make sure that everyone participates and that each and everyone’s suggestions is listened to. He or she will be responsible of creating a conflict free environment for the employees, either in high levels or low levels. He or she will make every employee feel that their work is appreciated.

A written document for the staff will be provided to ensure that everyone understands perfectly the rules and regulations that have been implemented. The document will contain guidelines that will govern the workflow in the healthcare. This will make everyone be clear and know their duties, which is also a way that will promote transparency. It will help to promote open communications and be clear on the expected performance for the staff. The document will be written in a way that is not biased and considers the rights of everyone including the patient.

An open environment will be promoted so as to make sure that everyone will be equally treated and their voices will be equally heard. This will ensure that all questions and opinions count taken into consideration. This will also promote open communication to everyone thus increasing self-confidence and reducing misunderstandings. This will create an environment that makes people feel secure and safe. It will also promote discipline and respect both from the staff and from the patients.
