NURS-FPX 6218 Leading the Future of Health Care

Planning for Community and Organizational Change

Summary

To address the persistent health challenges faced by the community of Jordan, located in Minnesota, this proposal outlines strategies aimed at improving mental health support in schools, enhancing health insurance coverage, and better managing chronic health conditions. These measures seek to alleviate issues such as adolescent suicide, inadequate insurance, and poorly managed chronic diseases.

Benefits and Implications

To mitigate mental health challenges among students, the proposal suggests implementing interaction-based mental health programs in schools. This approach aims to foster emotional well-being and resilience, consequently reducing suicide attempts among adolescents (García-Carrión et al., 2019).

Improving health insurance in Jordan involves advocating for policy changes to make coverage more accessible to low-income residents. Additionally, expanding Medicare and Medicaid services can ensure equitable healthcare access for marginalized individuals, thereby improving overall community health (Martin et al., 2021).

For better management of chronic conditions, promoting awareness among older adults about available health coverage options under the Affordable Care Act can alleviate financial constraints and reduce mortality and morbidity rates (Myerson & Crawford, 2020).

Potential Barriers to Change

Implementing mental health programs may face resistance due to social stigma and resource constraints. Accessing adequate healthcare insurance could be hindered by factors such as language barriers and resistance to policy changes. Managing chronic health conditions may be challenging due to stigma, lack of motivation, and resistance to lifestyle changes (Repovš et al., 2019).

Strategies for Changing Barriers into Opportunities and Resolving Conflict

Overcoming these barriers requires educational campaigns to address stigma, collaboration with external organizations to alleviate resource constraints, and fostering open communication within the community to reduce resistance to change (Schroeder et al., 2020).

Stakeholder Communications

Effective communication with organizational stakeholders is crucial for implementing proposed changes. A communication plan should outline key messages, provide evidence-based insights, and emphasize the benefits of the proposed changes (Errida & Lotfi, 2021).
