Running head: HCA430 FINAL PROJECT 1

HCA430 Final Project 3

Title of your paper

Your name

Course information (HCA430 – Special Populations)

Instructor’s name (Jennifer Maves)

Date (i.e. February 2, 2015)

Final project details:

The directions state you are to prepare this paper using a persuasive tone. This means you are advocating for your vulnerable population and selling your idea to people like city and state leadership, other community business leaders, people who will be served by the project, and people who will be indirectly impacted by the presence of the service (think about people who live in the neighborhood where you want to place your business, but who may not want you there).

You will incorporate earlier work into final paper as required in the assignment directions. The description of needs, program description, continuum of care, and statistical data from the Week 2 and Week 3 assignments can be reused word-for-word. The remaining segments of this assignment are new material. **Please note: you may NOT use word-for-word material submitted to the discussions or other classes.

Introduction

Your information here.

Vulnerable population

Identify which vulnerable population you plan to assist in your community and why they need help.

Health services needs for the population

What are the services needed that are not currently present in your community? This means you must do research of the services in your community to determine what is and is not offered.

Statistical data

Statistical data from county and state health departments and/or other organizations. How many people are in the vulnerable population group in your community, in your state, and in the nation overall?

Description of program

Description of your community service or program.  Include service(s) provided and how this will impact the chosen population.

Continuum of care: Is the program intended to help prevent further development of the disease or co-morbidities (education)? Is the program intended to provide assistance with treatment?  Is the program intended to provide long-term care? How will your program’s services impact the chosen population?

Social and cultural norms

*Beliefs and Values of the population. (This is not about race or ethnicity)

Identify the social and cultural factors that impact the population. Are there social and cultural expectations that increase the risk of becoming a member of the vulnerable population? How does your chosen population experience the health care system? For example, if your population is teenage parents, are they able to get to a doctor on their own and pay for the services? Do they understand the importance of regular healthcare? In what ways will your program assist the population in overcoming issues related to the social and cultural impacts?

Community partnership

Which other community organizations will partner with your organization to serve the needs of the vulnerable population? How will the organization help you deliver your services? What services do the organizations offer that you don’t? No single agency can provide all of the services a population needs so the services offered by others should be complimentary to your program.

Funding sources

Identify four funding sources that may provide monetary sponsorship for your program or service. 

· One source must be a state agency.

· Once source must be a federal agency.

· The two remaining sources can be not-for-profit and/or for-profit businesses.

Explain the factors that must be met in order to receive funding from the agencies.

Be sure to demonstrate quantitative literacy (ability to identify and solve problems) and integrative learning (combine learning from earlier classes and personal/professional experiences), analyze the information from multiple perspectives (see the details from those who need the service as well as those who are opposed to providing the help you are suggesting).

If you are doing a paper, you must have 8 – 10 pages of text.  The cover page and reference page are not included in that count.
