Capstone project on how Borgess-lee hospital can resource out to the community

Introduction

Borgess-lee hospitals can resource out to the community in several ways: providing employment, clinics, transportation, nursing home, and dealing with mental health issues. The hospital can also support upcoming projects in the community that will enhance accessible healthcare services to everyone. To ensure that the community keeps a good health record, the hospital should also provide training on healthy living by focusing on disease prevention and management and health promotion (Giacco et al. (2021). The community needs better access to healthcare, and by providing transportation whenever needed, the hospital will have enabled them to obtain medical care more easily. Transportation challenge is one of the reasons why most people do not get medical care, and by giving resourcing rides to the community, Borgess-lee hospital promotes a healthy community.

Quality focused project

The project is a quality focused project because its aim is to promote quality healthcare in the community by providing ways to easily access healthcare. The community lacks vehicle access, and they have to travel long distances to get to the hospital. By providing clinics, the hospital is helping the community deal with health problems in children and mothers and reducing the rate of child mortality in the community. Every community needs a nursing home and a mental health center to take care of the old and deal with mental health issues and provide CDC.

Background

The hospital should think of approaches to strengthen community engagement and online and offline relationships. For a hospital to deliver the best healthcare in the surrounding community, it should ensure that a sting relationship is maintained. By engaging the community, the hospital will be able to get information that will improve preventive care and identify serious health issues. A good connection between the community and the hospital is beneficial for both parties because it builds trust and improves its reputation while the community gets quality healthcare (Giacco et al. (2021). For a community to feel engaged by the hospital, the hospital should focus on hiring staff from the community. When the hospital hires its staff from the community, it will help stabilize the community’s economy. Hiring staff from the surrounding community also creates links between the surrounding area and the healthcare center, thus strengthening the bond. If the surrounding community does not have qualified applicants, the hospital should develop campaigns that will urge nearby colleges and high schools to promote health-related careers.

Problem statement

The topic addressed in this study is how Borgess-lee hospital can resource out to the community. Hospitals play a big role in the economic and social development of a community. That is why Borgess-lee hospital should ensure that it engages the community in activities that benefit them all. The hospital can help by resourcing out to the community by providing transportation to healthcare centers, jobs, mental healthcare centers, clinics, and nursing homes (Giacco et al. (2021). The aged in the community need nursing homes that will help the family take good care of them and ensure that they get any treatments. The hospital also ensures that the services they provide to the community are affordable, accessible, and adequate. The hospital will be able to address social drivers of health disparities if they can resource out to the community.

Purpose of the study

Through the study, the hospital will be able to learn the importance of resourcing out to the community because it is of great benefit to both the hospital and the community. Resources from hospitals are important because they keep the community healthy and economically fit, thus enabling people to pay for care. Through some of their initiatives, the hospital can care for uninsured patients who cannot afford to cater to their medical bills (Milosavljevic et al. (2020)s. As the healthcare sector grows rapidly, the community should benefit more from its services and outward resources. From the study, we learn that hospitals are tied to the community and have the ability to leverage their resources to revitalize the community. By addressing socio-economic issues in the community, the hospital will be able to help the residents reduce costs and afford health insurance. By employing staff from the community, the hospital will enable residents to afford healthcare and a healthy lifestyle. Evidence suggests that interventions improve the economic and social health of the community and significantly impact the mental and physical health of the residents.

Rationale

The study aims to convince Borgess-lee hospital to resource out to the community by showing the hospital how the action will benefit them generally. The study gives the hospital various advantages of the activity and how it will help them provide beneficial healthcare services (Milosavljevic et al. (2020). Resourcing out to the community improves the hospital's ability to give the best quality healthcare due to the strong relationship and engagement. When hospitals engage the community, they can solve problems together and collaborate to give the appropriate interventions (Milosavljevic et al. (2020).

Research questions

The study aims at answering three research questions,

1. How can Borgess-lee hospital resource out to the community?

2. Are the interventions effective in the well-being of the community?

3. How do both the community and the hospital benefit from the interventions?

At the end of the study, the aims and objectives should be met and utilized.

Nature of the study

The study is predictive and relational because, in the study, we try to predict how the interventions taken by the hospital will be beneficial and relate to other hospitals that have carried out such interventions (Milosavljevic et al. (2020). The predicted outcomes are expected to happen if the interventions are implemented because every measure involved was analyzed thoroughly.

Significance of the study

The study has given me new insights on hospitals resourcing out to the community. I have gained more knowledge on how the community and hospitals benefit from each other. Professional the study will enable health providers to be competent and significant to the community. The study has revealed several ways that can improve the provision services in the community which will benefit both the hospital and the community.

Definition of terms

CDC- centers of disease control and prevention

Limitations

In resources out to the community, the hospital might encounter several challenges that will limit its effectiveness to the community. Community health hospitals might lack the capacity to serve the large population fully and sometimes need help but cannot get the assistance they need. The community might also fail to cooperate with the hospital when providing the services. For the interventions to work, the community's cooperation is very important, and without it, it will be of no use (Milosavljevic et al. (2020). Another limitation is the case of community residents going for healthcare services in bigger hospitals because they feel that community hospitals do not offer quality services. The environmental conditions might also limit the hospital because some parts of the surrounding community have poor landforms that limit transportation. The climate of a certain area might also limit certain interventions. The study has a high chance of success because its chances of succeeding exceed the limitations.
