Implementation Plans to Address Inadequate Health Insurance NURS FPX 6008 Assessment 2 Needs Analysis for Change

 

Enhanced productivity: Since healthier people are more likely to carry out their responsibilities with effectiveness, improved health outcomes can also lead to higher workforce productivity. Prioritizing employee health in workplace wellness initiatives has the potential to greatly increase output and job satisfaction (Lyons et al., 2022).

 Lower medical expenses: People without enough health insurance are less likely to rely on ER visits or other expensive forms of care when access to healthcare services is improved. According to a Commonwealth Fund analysis, increasing Medicaid eligibility can significantly lower healthcare expenses, especially for those with low incomes (Ward, 2020).

Enhanced economic expansion: Economic growth and stability can be enhanced by better health outcomes, higher productivity, and lower healthcare expenses. According to a research by Raghupathi and Raghupathi (2020), increasing access to healthcare coverage has a favorable effect on economic growth, especially through the creation of jobs and higher spending on healthcare services.

Conclusion

Several potential solutions to increase access to care for uninsured individuals have been found by a thorough examination of the economic healthcare issue of inadequate health insurance coverage at the primary care clinic. The clinic will be able to better serve its patient base and advance community health outcomes by putting these solutions into practice. Improving uninsured patients’ access to chronic illness management and preventative therapies can lessen the clinic’s and the larger healthcare system’s long-term budgetary burden. Providing sliding fee scales or subsidized care in conjunction with neighborhood organizations may further improve accessibility and cost. Forging closer ties with insurance companies may also make it easier for qualified individuals to sign up for affordable or government-subsidized health plans.
