Book excerpt: A majority of people living in rural areas and urban slums worldwide have minimal access to healthcare. Without information about what to give a child with stomach flu, how to relieve the pain of a broken bone, and how to work against increased substance abuse in a village, the whole community suffers. Children, adolescents, adults, and older people are all affected by the lack of what many of us view as basic healthcare, such as vaccination, pain killers, and contraceptives. To improve living conditions and life expectancy, the people in urban slums and rural areas need access to a trained health care worker, and a functioning clinic. Setting up Community Health and Development Programmes in Low and Middle Income Settings illustrates how to start, develop, and maintain a health care programme in poor areas across the world. The focus is on the community, and how people can work together to improve health through sanitation, storage of food, fresh water, and more. Currently, there is a lack of 17 million trained health care workers worldwide. Bridging the gap between medical professionals and people in low income areas, the aim of this book is for a member of the community to receive training and become the health care worker in their village. They will then in turn spread information and set up groups working to improve health. The book also explains in detail how communities can work alongside experts to ensure that practices and processes work effectively to bring the greatest impact. Copiously illustrated and written in easy-to-read English, this practical guide is designed to be extremely user friendly. Ideal for academics, students, programme managers, and health care practitioners in low and middle income settings worldwide, it is an evidence based source full of examples from the field. Setting up Community Health and Development Programmes in Low and Middle Income Settings shows how a community can both identify and solve its own problems, and in that way own its future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Association of Community Health Centers asked Avalere to conduct a literature review of studies that examined the impact of Community Health Centers (CHCs) on healthcare spending and utilization. Nearly all of the studies we examined found that the use of CHCs was associated with lower healthcare costs or less acute care utilization. The estimated impact of CHCs, combined with their emphasis on effective provision of primary care, has led some policymakers to discuss them as an example of the patient-centered medical home initiative. This report highlights the findings of studies examining CHCs' effect on health spending and utilization, and discusses their methodological strengths and limitations. We identified peer-reviewed articles through PubMed and used the articles' cited references to locate related white papers. All five studies that compared the direct cost of healthcare for patients treated in CHCs to those receiving care in other settings found that CHCs are associated with lower healthcare spending. Many studies attributed the cost savings, in part, to a reduction in emergency department visits, fewer inpatient hospital admissions, or shorter inpatient length of stay. Two studies used the estimated per-patient savings to extrapolate a national savings associated with CHC use, finding that CHCs save between $9.9 and $24 billion annually. Six studies focused exclusively on avoidable utilization and found that CHCs help patients, especially those with chronic conditions, to avoid unnecessary complications and acute care treatment. There may be multiple reasons why CHCs were associated with lower healthcare spending, though our literature review did not isolate the effect of any specific factor. Some observers attribute CHCs' success to the primary care model, patient-centered medical home, or coordination of care. Others assert that the availability of CHC services improves access to appropriate care for the uninsured and underinsured population. Additional research on the impact of key aspects of CHCs would add to the body of evidence regarding their association with lower healthcare spending and reduced acute care utilization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aftermath of Hurricane Katrina has placed a national spotlight on the shameful state of healthcare for America's poor. In the face of this highly publicized disaster, public health experts are more concerned than ever about persistent disparities that result from income and race. This book tells the story of one groundbreaking approach to medicine that attacks the problem by focusing on the wellness of whole neighborhoods. Since their creation during the 1960s, community health centers have served the needs of the poor in the tenements of New York, the colonias of Texas, the working class neighborhoods of Boston, and the dirt farms of the South. As products of the civil rights movement, the early centers provided not only primary and preventive care, but also social and environmental services, economic development, and empowerment. Bonnie Lefkowitz-herself a veteran of community health administration-explores the program's unlikely transformation from a small and beleaguered demonstration effort to a network of close to a thousand modern health care organizations serving nearly 15 million people. In a series of personal accounts and interviews with national leaders and dozens of health care workers, patients, and activists in five communities across the United States, she shows how health centers have endured despite cynicism and inertia, the vagaries of politics, and ongoing discrimination.

Book excerpt: This thesis project is an exploration of "healthcare" and how we perceive its success as a major component of a community. Community Care asks the question how can a healthcare network improve and under served community. Community care is an attempt to redefine healthcare. Healthcare traditionally for most people is a hospital or doctor's office which defines a singular enclosed entity that serves a single purpose ranging from small to larger facilities. Community care goes against the nature of the self-enclosed box facility, and tries to create a network of healthy practices, that includes farming fresh produce, exercise, health consulting, and social growth in the form of group activities. Community care aims to fight against major barriers to healing, which include access to health, lack of community resources, and high cost of care to name a few. By creating access to health, engaging the community, collaborating with residents and business we can begin to create community empowerment.To evaluate this project a design was made surrounding the paradigms called (Building Blocks to Health), which is healing the biological, sociological, and psychological nature of people. This project is made to nestle within a growing community to understand how dated communities, or communities that will undergo gentrification and obliteration may begin experiencing great success and stability. Healthcare is more than a place, it is a way of life, and community care is attempting to create both the space for this to take place and the ideal situation to begin affecting people lives on a more holistic level. When we learn together, work together, heal together, and play together we create a stronger healthier network.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do communities protect and improve the health of their populations? Health care is part of the answer but so are environmental protections, social and educational services, adequate nutrition, and a host of other activities. With concern over funding constraints, making sure such activities are efficient and effective is becoming a high priority. Improving Health in the Community explains how population-based performance monitoring programs can help communities point their efforts in the right direction. Within a broad definition of community health, the committee addresses factors surrounding the implementation of performance monitoring and explores the "why" and "how to" of establishing mechanisms to monitor the performance of those who can influence community health. The book offers a policy framework, applies a multidimensional model of the determinants of health, and provides sets of prototype performance indicators for specific health issues. Improving Health in the Community presents an attainable vision of a process that can achieve community-wide health benefits.

This book was released on 2008-03-28 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a renewed sense of urgency to alleviate human suffering and public attention has increased its focus on corporate philanthropy and social investing. Likewise, non-profit organizations find themselves under greater pressure to dem- strate impact and the demand for greater ‘transparency’ on the donor community and government agencies now require a more transparent accounting of spending on social programs that support the disenfranchised. This book is intended to be a guide for Community Health Care Programs interested in enhancing their lo- term sustainability through the appropriate use of their evaluation results. The book has been designed for ease of use and provides step-by-step guidance on all aspects of basic evaluation methods. For the last twenty years, The Johnson & Johnson Community Health Care Program has awarded funding to more than 150 pioneering non-profit organizations for unique projects that address disparities in America’s delivery of health care to poor and underserved citizens. By supporting essential, community-based health care organizations, the program helps to break down health care barriers for me- cally underserved populations by improving their access to quality services.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immigrants living in US cities face myriad obstacles to accessing quality health care. This inequitable access to care is compounded by the risk of chronic disease accompanying the stress, strain, and lifestyle changes that can come with life in a new country. Bridging the Gap details the role, lessons, and effectiveness of community health workers (CHWs) in bringing health care to underserved immigrant communities. Combining education, advocacy, and local cultural acumen, CHWs have proven successful in the United States and abroad, improving community health and establishing an evidence base for how CHW programs can work for immigrants. Based on a decade of in-depth evaluations from several immigrant health programs in New York City with complementary interviews with dozens of immigrants and CHWs, Bridging the Gap offers insights into how CHWs help immigrants overcome the obstacles to health care. The authors carefully distill first-hand lessons into recommendations for best practices in developing and utilizing effective CHW programs--insights that will be immediately useful to any community group, municipal agency, or health care organization. Bridging the Gap provides a workable antidote to the seemingly intractable problems faced by cities everywhere in the pursuit of maintaining and maximizing immigrant health. It is a hugely valuable entry in burgeoning field that will be central to the next century of urban public health.
