A Policy Paper
Order Description
INSTRUCTIONS: Develop a policy paper based on the scenario presented below. The product should be 6 pages (excluding cover page, appendices, charts, and references), double spaced,conforming to APA standards.
NOTE: The facts in this scenario are hypothetical. While the bayou region of Louisiana is a real place with geographic characteristics as described, the population, health system, and other particulars are hypothetical for purposes of this paper.
FACTS:
As a mid-career health policy administrator, you have recently been hired as the Health Policy Coordinator for the Bayou Region of Louisiana.
The Bayou Region of Louisiana (BR) contains some 12,600 square miles with a population of just265,000 residents. The institutional health care system contains one regional medical center, 5 small community hospitals, a regional health center, and a contracted behavioral health provider group. There are physician medical clinics in 14 towns, but most of the BR is remote, composed of small villages, semi-swamp, or reservation land for several indigenous groups. (You do not manage this health system, but these are the regional facilities in the area).
In the BR, 100% of the population would be considered rural by Federal standards, and only 23 % live in towns of 20,000 or more. 73% of residents come from families with at least one full-time worker. In the BR, the residents who do not live in towns tend to be more seasonally employed, in part-time work, or self-employed, with a low likelihood of employer provided insurance. Historically, of the uninsured who are poor, half (50%) of those are from families with full-time workers. One-fourth of the uninsured are between the ages of 45 and 64, and 26% report being in fair or poor health.
In addition, recent surveys of the behavioral health system, clinics, and tribal health center report significant rates of depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, schizophrenia and substance abuse / dependence among BR residents. There is concern that these problems are related to high rates of suicide and domestic violence.
Finally, other reports from social service agencies report that there is a significant population in the BR that is effectively homeless, living seasonally (or sometimes year-round) in campers, tents, or out of automobiles, moving between campgrounds or camping areas in the state park grounds. This population includes families with children in some cases.
The Director of the Louisiana State Health Department has requested that you prepare a policy briefing discussing the delivery of Health Care Services to the BR residents. The paper should accomplish the following:
1. Discuss the problem of underserved populations and subgroups, includingcharacteristics of those groups and barriers to delivery.
2. Examine the structure of the delivery system and how this helps or hindershealth delivery.
3. Discuss the impact of ACA.
4. Make clear recommendations as appropriate for meeting the health delivery challenges of the BR.
Please prepare a well written, well organized, and professionally structured policy paper as requested.
