Week 6: Population Health Concerns and Health Disparities

Through this topic, I realized the critical role that nurses will play in helping more populations and groups access healthcare services and also reduce the inherent disparities that impact quality care. Reports on nursing and its importance in helping the nation deal with disparities also emerged during this conversation (Schroeder et al., 2022). Initiatives like the Healthy People 2030 and NAM report on ways that nurses can address the gaps in care delivery also emerged. Discrimination, systematic racism, and classism are at the core of the disparities in healthcare access (Ellis et al., 2021). Nurses through advanced education, training, and specializing can help address these challenges and improve primary care provision. My strengths about this topic include the use of EBP, participation in policy-making, and lobbying for sufficient resource allocation as well as advocacy for cost-effective insurance premiums and medical coverage for the vulnerable populations. However, my core weakness is a limited network and increased collaboration with other stakeholders. Additional resources to address these issues include the promotion of primary care, having more human resources to cater to different health populations, and enrollment of more individuals in nursing schools.
