NURS FPX 4900 Assessment 3: Assessing the Problem; Technology, Care Coordination, and Community Resources Considerations

As it is stated already that therapeutic treatment is compulsory for patients with chronic diseases. With the fast-moving world and advancements in technology, the health system has also adopted technological changes. To tackle the rise in medical challenges, avoid the risks in case of outdoor engagement and for the people who cannot afford the in-session treatment, Assistive Technology (IT) is introduced for therapeutic treatments. Various health applications are available to perform a general checkup on daily basis by yourself. Specific mobile apps related to ADRD are presented with the assistance of professionals who help the patient through scheduled online sessions, track reports and provide changes in the ongoing plan according to the condition of the patient. Groups on social media provide assistance and information in case of emergency situations. Of all the apps developed only 5% are approved on IOS and android which proves the feasibility of the approved apps (Yousaf et al., 2019). Artificial Intelligence (AI) is also helping the health care system as it helps in the early detection of Alzheimer’s, speech therapy, and in suggesting the possible fit treatment for that particular patient by keeping in account the medical history of the patient and daily progress. The dramatic increase in AD patients is keeping the healthcare system and government on edge constantly but IA makes it feasible for the healthcare system and nurses to tackle the situation successfully (El-Sappagh et al., 2021).

Nurses and the health care system are the backbone and play a critical role in patients’ progress and recovery. As Alzheimer’s patients fully depend on nurses so they are more responsible for their health condition and can provide assistance in the research study of the disease. University-based studies and survey teams focus on our patients as well as nurses. For the modern-day system, nurses have also provided assistance in the development of mobile health treatment framework, and they are more important because in the end they are going use the technology and train the patient’s family members (O’Connor, 2019). Technology adaptation also lessens the financial burden for both families and the health system. According to research, the cost estimation for mental illnesses will increase by half against all other diseases in the next decade. So, technological assistance is the need of time (Knapp & Wong, 2020).

Impact of Care Coordination and Community Resources on Alzheimer’s Patients

Understanding between health care system and community is vital in order to best use the resources and for coordination between them regarding the best outcomes of ongoing treatment of the patient. US Government has introduced many feasible policies and plans for the assistance of patients and their families. A two-year coordination care plan for Alzheimer’s patients helps them in cost management and easy excess in an emergency situation for patients in remote areas. Several Alzheimer’s care communities like Healthier Happens Together and Alzheimer’s Care-Individual Treatment coordinate with the government and hospitals to provide proper assistance to the patients (Jennings et al., 2019). Therapeutic treatments are included in their plans.

Along with medical care and counseling of the patients and their family’s development of possible affected treatment is also necessary which can be accelerated with the help of social services as cost management remained an unsolved problem as well. Some coordination plans participate especially in the development strategies of medicine. These programs work on increasing the effectiveness of technology regarding disease and improving the quality of life by assisting them in stress therapies. Indiana University’s Healthy aging brain Center reports a study that reveals that cost management and potential savings in this regard are possible with the help of remote therapeutic sessions and lowering the emergency situations which result in a frequent hospital visits. The Alzheimer Care Program at the University of California Las Angles (UCLA) launched a dementia care program in 2011 which was in working with the coordination of nurses, healthcare system participants, and patients (Jennings et al., 2019).

Nurses are a vital part of the coordination plan in the progress study and cost management study of AD disease.  To make the whole process easy at each and every step, they provide assistance to the family members and organize training sessions to help them in the home-based care s
