Preliminary Care Coordination Plan

Care coordination involves decisively arranging patient care actions and exchanging data with all those intricate inpatient care to promote the best and safest care. Mental has been a global concern, and it has not attained attention till now. There are various mental health cases in the USA, and people have autism, dementia, bipolar disease, and depression. These conditions affect daily life and their connection with other people in the community. Therefore, the paper focuses on developing a preliminary care coordination plan by discussing mental health as a health concern. Specific goals are discussed to address a mental health problem. An effective and safe continuum of Care is also identified in this report.

Adapt Care based on Patient-Centered and person-focused Factors

Mental Health Concern 

Falconer et al. (2018) researched that mental illness includes a broad range of mental health conditions that affect people's behavior, thinking, and mood. Examples of mental illnesses include addictive behaviors, eating illnesses, schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, and depression. Mental health is the main concern in the USA. About more than 50% of people are diagnosed with mental illness. Anxiety illness is the most common health issue in the USA, as more than 40 million adults in the USA have depression and anxiety disorders. About 7% of children aged from three to seventeen experience problems with depression every year (Falconer et al., 2018). There are various causes of mental health issues such as drug usage, feelings of isolation, experiences concerned with chronic medical conditions (diabetes/cancer), and early negative experiences of life such as sexual assault and child abuse.

Best Practices for Health Improvement 

           Tortuous et al. (2018) researched to explore the best practices for health improvement includes:

Staying Positive 

           It is important to find a balance between negative and positive emotions. Staying positive does not mean that a person does not feel negative emotions. There is a need to manage negative emotions and must take a break from negative emotions. 

Better Physical Health 

There is a connection between physical and mental health. Exercise can decrease feelings of depression and stress and also improve mood. Sleep is also a crucial effect on mood, as lack of sleep quality makes people more depressed (Torous et al., 2018). A good diet also helps to feel better mentally and physically. It improves mood and reduces stress and anxiety. 

Physical, psychosocial, and cultural considerations for mental health 

           Physical health issues enhance the risk of developing mental health issues and vice versa. One in three people with long-lasting physical health issues has mental health issues such as anxiety or depression. Physical causes such as drug abuse, brain injury, birth trauma can affect brain chemistry and cerebral health. Psychosocial considerations for mental health comprise violence, sexual abuse, substance abuse, anxiety, depression, and family issues. Females were more likely to suffer from mental and physical health issues. Moreover, culture is also concerned with mental health and the usage of substances on different levels (Wang et al., 2020). Community members from different cultural or ethnic groups might have higher mental health risks or substance usage issues, as they experience a higher number of stressors such as isolation and discrimination.

Collaborate with patients and families to achieve desired outcomes.

Goals 

           Various particular goals must be established to address a mental health issue. Patients with mental health issues must work with health care specialists to confirm that they stay healthy as latent. Patients must visit physical health checks so that the nurses and doctors must follow up on the physical conditions of mental health patients. Stigma affects not just the patient but also family members. It is crucial to overlook the psychosocial needs of mental health issues once developing a caring plan for them. Once a care plan of the patient is developed, health specialists must recognize options of treatment and resources that consider particular cultural requirements of the patient (Staniszewska et al., 2019). The patient's concerns need health care specialists to develop a preliminary health coordination plan of the patient with obtainable resources. Therefore, it is crucial to pursue medical help and use the present community resources in surviving a fit mental life.

Create a satisfying patient experience.

Community resources 

Lee (2019) researched that mental Health America delivers a system including mental health firms designed to bring promotion in public policy while confirming access to effective and rational Care for a large number of mental health patients in the USA. Working in more than 200 affiliates and 42 countries, a network of MHA commits itself to deliver advocacy and support to all affected people in all societies in the state. Exceptional programs and services of the affiliate are designed to fulfill the particular requirements of society. Case-patient can find data, rehabilitative programs, and mental health treatment delivered to the affiliate network of MHA. Moreover, Substance Abuse Treatment Facility Locator instructs a person to systems that deliver referrals and payment plans from support amenities (Lee, 2019). Another community resource is National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. It is the best sector that can aid mental health patients by connecting them to the local crisis sector, where a person can attain immediate help. There are free toll-free contact numbers for services, and patients can select an option according to their mental health issues.

Communication Policies to Lead Patient-Centered Care

It is crucial to adopt efficient proof-based methods to offer optimum Care with mental health sensitivity. A proper intervention must be defined, effective, goals of the patient, and portray conformity to communal values. Open-ended questions must be applied once discussing mental health issues with the patient. It is also crucial to comprehend mental health issues and show empathy to patients (Ilardo & Speciale, 2020). Comprehending the patient perspective includes considering the patient's concerns, ideas, and feelings regarding the impact of mental health issues in their life.

Conclusion 

Concisely, mental health issues might not give a successful life because success is not connected to available resources in society with various treatment options. Mental health patients must seek help for their condition. About $193 billion people lost their lives yearly from prostration to work from mental health illness in the USA.
