Unit 1 Health And Social Care Case Study

Many people could be affected if staff did not ffollow regulations, an outbreak of food poisoning could occur and this would affect the service, people we support, staff and visitors and they could become very ill with diagnoses of sickness, diarrhea, which could lead to being admitted to hospital and have further complications as well as be less able to fight off infections, or be vulnerable due to their age/lifestyle/circumstances. This could also affect people in an emotional way. For example stress and worry. Some staff may want to stay off work as they would be worried they will catch an illness and this would affect the service staffing levels. Family and friends would be angry, worried and may not be able to visit. Reputation of the

I will now talk about each patient needs as they all differ from each other. Nusrat Patel is 19 years old and has learning disability. This means Nusrat has difficulties in keeping knowledge and skills to the expected level of those the same age as her. Nusrat also has epilepsy which is neurological brain disorder when someone has epilepsy, it means they tend to have epileptic seizures, a seizure is a sudden attack of illness. Nusrat has left residential school to receive full time carer from her mum who has stopped working to care for Nusrat. At times this can be stressful so Nusrat attends the community centre on Tuesday and Thursday which allows Nusrat mother to have a break. Maria montanelli is 34 years primary school teacher who is much like Nusrat mother and takes care of her 96 years old mother who has dementia. Dementia is memory loss and difficulties with cognitive development. Being a primary care for her mother Maria feels she not performing at her best ability because of her lack of sleep which occurs when she assists her mother to the toilet several times. The last patient I would like to mention is Alice Fernandez she is 74 years old who recently lost her husband who had lung cancer. Alice doesn't use her pension the right way as she purchases many drinks as an alcoholic and has increased since her husband passed away. She has been prescribed antidepressant tablet by her G.P but made her lethargic this means she's become slow and sluggish.

Compare and contrast two Medicaid plans from different states. Discuss your opinions regarding each state being able to choose how they administer the Medicaid program for their state. Does this leave some Americans at a disadvantage? Explain.

The availability of healthcare is an extremely important issue in the United States. There are millions of Americans that are uninsured in the U.S. A high amount of uninsured people are from minority groups such as Hispanics and African-Americans. High deductible payments, the cost of prescription drugs, and lack of health insurance coverage cause many Americans to choose to live without insurance to save money for everyday expenses beside healthcare. Without health insurance, people do not have access to quality healthcare. Most citizens are aware of the issues in the healthcare system, but the disagreement comes when discussing how the best approach on ameliorating the system. Some believe that a more public and universal healthcare system is the best approach. Others believe that America works best through free enterprise and private institutions, and believe health insurance should be more privatized. However, health care has been shown to work best and be more available through proper public government control as it will allow for all Americans to have access to equal healthcare, in which money does not dictate health.

When bills for compulsory health insurance were introduced in several states, they were supported by American employers.

What happens if a member of staff phones in sick but they are later seen out at the shopping centre or down at the pub? Does that mean their skiving?

7. How does the health care system in the US differ from the system in other developed countries?

US health care is one of the most talked about or controversial topics in last few years. We often come across debates, articles or columns relating to this topic. This is a hot topic of this generation. Why everyone should have insurance? Why people should have for something that might not use? These are some of the questions we found ourselves surrounding by. In my opinion US citizens should be required to have insurance. Both men and women have separate needs when it comes to health. More women are facing health issues because of teen pregnancies and child birth, it is important to for everyone to have a health care plan according to their needs. So when the time comes right treatment and medical attention can be provided. In this piece I will be presenting some ideas and arguments supporting my side and also looking at the flip side of the discussion.

On the right one is I do disagree with you on having universal health care the other was it would raise taxes this is where your not forthcoming, yes it would raise taxes but most if not all would be offset by not having to pay for health care. Imagine if you can, someone with preexisting conditions not having to pay for health care? That person could lead a productive life that would benefit everyone including the government by paying more in taxes again offsetting the cost of universal health care.

Two simple questions, without a simple answer to either. In this paper were going to try and answer these questions and a few other important questions about the healthcare system in our country.

People are most likely afraid of health care reform because people only talk about the bad things, and leave all the good it does out of question. I was once afraid of health care reform because I only knew the bad things about it, which is what I was told. Not many people say the good things about something or someone, they just love to talk and make big issues of anything bad. If they learn about the truth of health reform, they'd probably love the idea.

U.S. health care reform is currently one of the most heavily discussed topics in health discourse and politics. After former President Clinton’s failed attempt at health care reform in the mid-1990s, the Bush administration showed no serious efforts at achieving universal health coverage for the millions of uninsured Americans. With Barack Obama as the current U.S. President, health care reform is once again a top priority. President Obama has made a promise to “provide affordable, comprehensive, and portable health coverage for all Americans…” by the end of his first term (Barackobama.com). The heated debate between the two major political parties over health care reform revolves around how to pay for it and more importantly, whether it

On March 23, 2010 the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was signed by President Obama, raising the question for many of whether this new law was going to be more helpful or hurtful. With universal healthcare, healthcare coverage would be increased tremendously, costs would be reduced, jobs would be created, and consumers would be protected. Conversely, it will also raise taxes and wait times, lead to a smaller number of doctors, and infringe on some employers’ 1st amendment rights. Presenting both arguments for and against the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act allows one to draw a conclusion on whether the new program will benefit or hinder the citizens of the United States.

IV. Today I’d like to talk to you first about, how the US has failed its obligation to provide for the welfare of millions of insured Americans, second, how your family, and kids can benefit from having a Universal Health Care system that is affordable, and finally, providing a Universal Health Care will not make the U.S. into a Socialist nation.

Much debate over the social regulation policy of healthcare insurance through the Affordable Care Act has been on its efficacy by requiring Americans to be insured. The most recent public poll for November from the Kaiser Family Foundation has indicated 35% of respondents favored the policy with 45% finding it unfavorable (Kaiser). Individuals favoring this policy are in support of extending health insurance coverage to those who would otherwise be unable to afford it due to costs or pre-existing conditions. Those against this policy are concerned of the costs behind expanding public insurance to millions more individuals will be more than private insurance due to a wider range of benefits under public care (Ku and Broads, w318).
