John’s Journey • As you work through Mr. John Miller’s case study, you will find
links to data sources regarding the community. • Analyze the data presented to help you consider the questions
found throughout the case study. As you will see, often there is more than one correct answer to a question or more than one way to meet the needs of the community and its residents.
• As you read through Mr. Miller’s story, consider the factors in his community which impact his health and his family. Many communities often lack many services that contribute to community health such as grocery stores, transportation, affordable and available health care, and affordable childcare.
• After you read through the case study, there will be questions for you to answer. Interventions must be tailored to address problems specific to a community.

Unemployment and Disability • After losing his job, John applied to the Veteran’s Administration for healthcare benefits and was granted some
benefits related to his PTSD. • He also received worker’s compensation to pay for his injury-related expenses and receives worker’s
compensation lifetime income benefits. If John’s weekly gross income from his job was $600, how much is his income from worker’s compensation?
• He sought employment elsewhere but was unsuccessful. • John’s only source of income is worker’s compensation. He also receives $355 per month in food stamps or SNAP
benefits. Sophie receives Medicaid because of her disability and low income. Sophie is not eligible to receive monthly payments from SSI as the family income is too high to qualify. John and Sophie do not qualify for Temporary Aid to Needy Families (TANF) as their income is too high.

What are the social determinants of health?
SDOH may result in differences in health and health care across populations.
Environmental and social conditions may lead to inequities in access to health care and availability of health care, leading to
health disparities.
The social determinants of health are essential to community health. The SDOH often explain why some
people and communities thrive while others struggle.
Social determinants of health (SDOH) are the conditions in the environments where
people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age that affect a wide range of
health, functioning, and quality-of-life outcomes and risks.(Healthy People, 2030).
The social determinants of health include: • economic stability
• education access and quality • social and community context • health care access and quality
• neighborhood/built environment (Healthy People, 2030)
Why are Social Determinants of Health important to communities?
• The social determinants of health are essential to community health.
• The determinants help us understand, apply, and evaluate health policies and programs that affect the health of people, families, and their communities.
• In collaboration with federal, state, and local community partners, relationships and common goals can be explored and relationships can be established to promote the health within communities. (HP2030, 2021)
Nurses Role: Social Determinants of Health
• As you go through the case study, look for social determinants of health for John. These will be summarized at the end.
• Nurses must be able to recognize and address SDOH and population health needs.
• Nurses often encounter at- risk populations and individuals and have an opportunity to improve the individual’s well-being and the overall health of the community.
• Communities may lack many resources that contribute to community health such as grocery stores, transportation, affordable housing, and affordable childcare (examples of social determinants of health).
• What is the definition of homeless?
• How many families are homeless in the US?
Defining Homelessness Homelessness Statistics
FOUR MONTHS AFTER JOHN’S INJURY AND LOSS OF JOB, HE WAS EVICTED DUE TO NON-PAYMENT OF RENT.
HE LIVED WITH HIS DAUGHTER SOPHIE AT STAR OF HOPE, A SHELTER FOR HOMELESS FAMILIES.
WHILE AT STAR OF HOPE, HE STARTED REHABILITATION AT THE SOBERING CENTER BUT MISSED MANY APPOINTMENTS.

Homeless Children
AFTER THREE MONTHS, JOHN WAS REMOVED FROM THE SHELTER FOR REPEATED ALCOHOL AND OPIOID USE.
STAR OF HOPE, AS A MANDATORY REPORTER, MADE CONTACT WITH CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES AS JOHN’S DRUG USE AND HIS DAUGHTER’S DISABILITY WERE AREAS OF CONCERN.
HE AND SOPHIE LIVED IN HIS VEHICLE FOR TWO WEEKS UNTIL HIS AUNT CLARA CONTACTED HIM AND OFFERED TO TAKE THEM IN UNTIL HE CAN “GET BACK ON HIS FEET”.
Homelessness
Mrs. Clara Miller • John’s 70-year-old widowed aunt
who lives alone in her small home in Baytown, has pension from teaching and owns her home
• She encourages John, who is estranged from the rest of his family, to return to the VA for treatment of his substance abuse
• Aunt Clara becomes Sophie’s caretaker and enjoys having Sophie in her home
• But she is finding it difficult to care for an active young child due to her health conditions
• What are leading causes of death for which Aunt Clara is at risk for considering her age, gender, and race?
• What health promotion teaching could a nurse provide to Aunt Clara to help her improve her health?
• How many grandparents and other older adults are raising young children?

Declining Health • One evening, John is found in his car unresponsive. He is
transported to the Texas Medical Center where it is confirmed that he has had a CVA as a result of untreated hypertension and past drug use.
• Although John has health benefits through the VA for his mental health disorder and worker’s compensation for issues related to his arm amputation, he does not have general health insurance. He is transported to the county hospital for treatment.
• He is admitted to the county hospital for treatment of the CVA which results in left-sided hemiparesis. The county hospital has a neuropsychiatric center and inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services. John is depressed and frustrated by the added disability from the CVA and is also experiencing opioid withdrawal symptoms.
• He is also worried about Sophie and Aunt Clara who are fifty minutes away from the county hospital and have not been able to visit him.
Healthcare Funding Terminology
How are county or other public hospitals funded?
What terminology is important for one to understand regarding funding?
Communication • After an assessment of John’s needs
and income, the county hospital arranged for John to receive home health and rehabilitation services at Aunt Clara’s home.
• The home health nurse is often the bridge between inpatient and outpatient care for vulnerable clients such as John.
• These clients often have multiple health problems that require treatment from multiple health care providers.
• Effective communication, such as the SBAR technique, is essential to assure continuity of care.
Situation Who is the person and what is happening with
them?
Background What is their clinical and
social history?
Assessment What is the problem?
Recommendation/Request What would you do to correct the situation?
• Here is an example of SBAR communication for the handoff of John’s care from a discharge nurse to the home health agency.
• What would a SBAR from the discharge nurse to mental health services include?
”I’m calling about John
Miller, a patient on our stroke
unit.”
How would the SDOH
impact John’s
recovery?
”Mr. Miller is a 35- year-old male with
a left arm amputation. Mr. Miller was unable
to afford medication for
Hypertension and had a stroke
resulting in left- sided hemiparesis 2 weeks ago. He requires physical
therapy, and medication
management. He is on Soboxone
for opioid addiction.
He is unemployed.”
“Mr. Miller will be home bound
requiring follow-up home
health care. Mr. Miller lives with his Aunt. He will need assistance accessing
resources to cover the
expenses of rehabilitation.”
“Mr. Miller requires
home health
nursing. Can you do an intake interview with him today?”SBAR and Other
Communication Techniques
Recovering Health • Based on the care plan for John, the home health agency provides
weekly nurse visits to monitor John’s hypertension and recovery. He was discharged on Suboxone and was referred to a 12-step program.
• The home health agency also provides an orderly or aide to bathe John and help with light housekeeping such as laundry and changing John’s bed linens.
• John receives these services free of charge due to his low income.
• John also receives telehealth services regarding management of his hypertension and stroke recovery through the county, and the VA has free psychiatric telehealth for his PTSD.
• John is applying for SSI based on the disability from his amputation and the effects of the CVA. Due to his disabilities, John is unable to leave home without great difficulty and the use of medical transport and therefore is considered home-bound.
• What are the criteria to receive home health care?
• How does home health care benefit the health of the community?

So how do we define a “Community”?
Let’s look at the World Health Organization (WHO) and how they define ”community”… • "Communities" are groups of people that
may or may not be spatially connected, but who share common interests, concerns or identities. (WHO, 2020).
• The windshield survey helps answer the question, ”How do the communities we live within affect our lives and healthy wellbeing?”

Look at each measurement
area (i.e., infant mortality, crime rates, drop out
rates)
Compare the measurement
areas to a standard
population A standard
population is one that contains the
population of interest
Texas has a large, diverse population making it a good
standard for comparison
This is the core of the community
nursing diagnosis
Inference/Interpretation (Synthesis) What does all this mean?
How do we determine if a problem exists in Baytown? What impacts John and his family?
Two Important Measures
Distribution
• Counts frequencies and patterns of health events within groups in a population
• Tries to answer "who", "what", "when” and "where"
• Referred to as “descriptive epidemiology"
Determinants
• Searches for causes or factors associated with increased risk or probability of disease
• Tries to answer "how" and "why"
• Referred to as "analytical epidemiology
Baytown’s Health • Baytown residents report eating
away from home 4 times per week
• The average Baytown resident last saw a dentist 2 years ago
• Many Baytown residents do not perform regular oral hygiene

Figure 74. Health and Wellness Graphic Art. Adapted from ”Health and Wellness Coaching”, retrieved from https://joinccba.org/health-wellness-coaching/
Rates
• Basic measures of disease or death occurrence in a defined population over a specified time period
• Rates allow comparison between populations
Number of events in a specific time period
Population at risk in the same time period
K *K is the base number (100, 1000)
Comparing Rates
As we are able to compare rates per 100,000, Baytown has a lower rate of robberies than Texas.
Texas Statistics
Baytown Statistics?
Put it Together: Now that you’ve collected some data on Baytown, answer these questions:
WHAT ARE THE 3 TOP HEALTH PROBLEMS IN BAYTOWN?
WHAT ARE THE TOP HEALTH ASSETS IN BAYTOWN?
WHICH PROBLEM WOULD YOU CHOOSE TO ADDRESS AND
WHY?
WHAT COMMUNITY ASSETS ARE AVAILABLE TO ADDRESS
THE PROBLEM?
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO USE RATES FOR
COMPARISON OF DATA RATHER THAN THE
NUMBER OF EVENTS?
Community Health Nursing

related to (etiological statement, what causes the problem)
among (community or population)
Increased risk of (disability, disease, etc.)
Example of a Community Diagnosis
Risk of adult obesity/overweight status among residents of Baytown, TX
related to a high prevalence of fast- food restaurants and knowledge
deficit of portion control as evidenced by 66% of adults in Houston being

What type of interventions can we do to help Baytown become a healthier community?
Tertiary Prevention
Treatment and rehabilitation to prevent disability (example: medications, procedures, rehab)
Secondary Prevention
Early detection and treatment of disease or injury to prevent disability and death (example: screening)
Primary Prevention
Intervening to decrease the risk for onset of disease, injury, disability or death (example: immunizations)
Levels of Prevention
1˚=Stop the illness from occurring
2˚=Identify cases
3˚=Control Complications
S
I
C
Guiding Principles When Choosing Interventions • There are upstream, midstream, and downstream
ways to address population health issues • Our behaviors and environment greatly influence
our health and are often amenable to change • We must consider the social determinants of
health in order to fully understand and address the health issue
• Epidemiological data allows us to assess the magnitude of the problem and determine populations at risk
• The following slides show an example of a health problem, heart disease, and levels of intervention
• What are upstream interventions for Baytown’s high rate of dental disease?
• What are some downstream interventions?
• Is one approach better than the other?
Aunt Clara’s Risk: Preventing Heart Disease
and Stroke
Primary prevention involves teaching
about ways to prevent heart disease
and stroke through health promotion.
A DIET LOW IN SODIUM, RICH IN
FRUIT AND VEGETABLES, HIGH IN
FIBER
DAILY EXERCISE ADEQUATE SLEEP
STRESS REDUCTION TECHNIQUE SUCH AS
MEDITATION, PARTICIPATING IN A
HOBBY
SMOKING CESSATION
Aunt Clara’s Risk: Preventing death and disability from heart disease and stroke
Secondary prevention is aimed at finding the presence of a
disease or condition on the early stages before it can cause serious illness or
death.
OBESITY DIABETESHIGH CHOLESTEROL HYPERTENSION
Secondary Prevention: Screen high risk individuals for:
Mr. Miller: Recovering stroke
Tertiary prevention: aims to aid recovery
from the damage done by the disease
or condition.
MEDICATION DIET
PHYSICAL THERAPY
REHABILITATION
ADAPTIVE DEVICES
Social Determinants of Health: Why are
some people healthier than others?
What effects the health of all
“communities”?
Social Determinants of Health: The range of personal, social, economic, and environmental factors that influence health status (Healthy People, 2020).
What makes us healthy or unhealthy?
What makes us sick or what keeps us well?
