Mobile Health Clinic-Bring Care to Community

Relevant Sources Review

The increased medical costs in United Stated have deprived citizens of seeking

appropriate care. Despite continued efforts to improve healthcare access and quality of care, the

healthcare system's fragmentation poses a barrier for people suffering from chronic disease to

receive adequate care, mainly the minority groups and common among mental health patients.

Besides, the stigma around these populations often a barrier to mental health patients seeking

treatment. Without adequate intervention for meeting the population's health needs, chronic

diseases' prevalence will continue to rise and continue to create a financial burden on the nation.

Evidence has shown meeting people in their community where they live, and work encourages

participation in their disease management. Exploring new innovative models will reduce the

health disparities seen among the vulnerable populations and people suffering from mental

diseases.

Mobile Health Clinic (MHC) is an innovative healthcare delivery model that

provides care to residents in the community. The study showed that mental health patients are

more compliant with their disease management when receiving care in their comfort zone.

Besides,

bringing care into the community reduces travel times for the patients and their families, reduces

stigmatization, and enhances care continuity (Yu et al. 2017). This paper aims at establishing the

Innovation of mobile health clinic-bring care to the community to address the health disparities

among the mental health populations and underserved populations. The goal is to provide quality

care, decrease readmission rates, and provide continuity of care in these populations.

Innovation Proposal

Role of Innovative Nurse Leader

The increased workloads and continuous changes in healthcare systems have prompted

nurses to frequently evaluate how patients' needs are met, improve patient care and outcome of

care, and indirectly reduce medical costs and improve employees' job satisfaction. Snow (2019)

addressed nurse innovators as agents of change in leading processes and strategy and influence

technology that adds value to patients' health outcomes, cost-effectiveness, and improved

satisfaction for both staff and patients. Nurse innovators ally with other leaders/stakeholders to

move innovative ideas forward. Nurse innovators advocate for legislation that provides equal

care across the board regardless of an individual's economic status. Adept in leadership with

solid communication skills; this helps present innovative ideas to the lawmakers' stakeholders.

Innovators demonstrate a role model attitude the employees can emulate.

Changes require persistence and strong leaders with the same mindset; however, many

healthcare systems change gear towards providing quality care to the consumers. This

innovative is moving care to the community aiming toward mental health patients in the D.C.

metropolitan.
