Planning for Community and Organizational Change

This assessment explores the persistent health challenges confronting the community
of Jordan. After examining Jordan's health landscape previously, we contextualized it
SF

within a small Minnesota town. Through a comprehensive health analysis, we identified


mental health issues leading to adolescent suicide, worsening health insurance
conditions, and inadequate management of chronic diseases due to financial limitations.
Consequently, this proposal outlines strategies to tackle these enduring health
challenges in the Jordan community.
R

To tackle health challenges in Jordan, proposed changes in the healthcare system
U

include:
1. Introduction of Interaction-Based Mental Health Programs in Schools:

Working with policymakers and advocacy teams to enhance health insurance
affordability, advocating for expanded access to Medicare and Medicaid for the
low-income population.
3. Chronic Health Condition Management:
Raising awareness among the elderly community about Affordable Care Act eligibility,
ensuring full health coverage for chronic diseases, and reducing mortality and morbidity
rates.

These strategies aim to address health challenges, enhance mental health among
students, improve health outcomes through better insurance, and effectively manage

m
chronic conditions in the elderly population, ultimately fostering a healthier community
overall.

o
Potential Obstacles to Change
1. Obstacles to Implementing Mental Health Programs:

.c
Challenges like social stigma, cultural attitudes, and resource constraints may impede
the implementation of mental health programs in schools.
PX
2. Obstacles to Accessing Adequate Healthcare Insurance:
Issues such as lack of understanding of the insurance process, language barriers,
limited internet access, and resistance to change can hinder access to adequate
healthcare insurance.
3. Obstacles to Chronic Health Management:
SF

Factors like lack of awareness, social stigma, resistance to change, and personal
beliefs may hinder acceptance of healthcare assistance.

Strategies for Overcoming Obstacles and Addressing Conflict


1. Educational Campaigns:
R

Combating stigma through educational campaigns emphasizing the importance of


mental health programs.
2. Collaboration with External Organizations:
U

Addressing resource constraints by partnering with external organizations for financial


support.
N

3. Enhanced Community Engagement through Communication:

to change.

By implementing these strategies, conflicts can be resolved, fostering a culture of
adaptability, continuous learning, and improvement.

Stakeholder Communication
A robust communication plan is vital for the successful implementation of proposed
changes. Stakeholders, including healthcare practitioners, administrators, policymakers,
and advocates, require access to key messages, content, and visual aids. Infographics
and presentations will enhance comprehension, focusing on cost-benefit analysis,
evidence-based implications, and strategies for overcoming obstacles.

Need Statement
This change proposal addresses the community health issues of the City of Jordan, located in
Minnesota. The population of Jordan is confronting various health issues in almost all age

groups, demonstrating its broad scope. Young adolescents and adults face mental health issues
in schools, leading to suicide attempts. The deteriorating state of health insurance prevents
various population groups from acquiring basic healthcare facilities, resulting in financial
constraints and poorly managed chronic diseases requiring extensive medications prescribed by
physicians.

Considering the health state of the overall community, there is a pressing need for this change
proposal, as all age groups in the Jordan community are affected. Barriers likely to occur during
change implementation include scarcity of resources, lack of awareness and stigma towards
mental health, and resistance to change. Information sources for defining the need for change
include a windshield analysis of environmental factors, communication with community

m
members, school surveys, formal consultations with community leaders, and healthcare
organizational dashboard metrics.

o
Program Description

.c
This change proposal comprises several initiatives that promote mental well-being in young
kids, health insurance coverage programs, and advocacy for expanded Medicaid and Medicare
services. These strategic plans will be conducted with intricate planning, adequate resource
PX
allocation, and continuous evaluation of progress. This plan will be executed with the
participation of various stakeholders, including health professionals, school administrators,
mental health specialists, community leaders, and governmental and non-profit organizational
collaborators. This program will improve the health outcomes in the population of Jordan, as
their health is deteriorating due to poor financial conditions and mental health issues.
SF

The program will achieve its desired outcomes by conducting educational campaigns and
mental health programs, expanding Medicaid and Medicare access to the community of Jordan,
and empowering the population to equip themselves with ACA’s policy, where patients with
chronic diseases can get free care treatments.

Goals and Objectives


U

This change proposal aims to ameliorate the health condition of the population of Jordan by
acknowledging and providing mental health support to children and adolescents, expanding
healthcare insurance coverage through Medicaid and Medicare programs, and enabling the
N

population to acquire free care treatments through ACA policy for those under severe financial
constraints. The objectives include lowering the suicide attempts among school-going children

insurance, and increasing the number of community members with adequate knowledge of ACA
and its provision for chronic care treatment.

Program Evaluation
The change initiative will be consistently evaluated by an oversight party consisting of health
professionals, school administrators, community leaders, and governmental stakeholders. The
evaluation will be conducted bi-annually, measuring the progress made toward achieving
benchmarks. The evaluation reports will be conveyed to all stakeholders, including the funding
authorities. The stakeholders will contribute widely to the evaluation process, from acquiring
data reports to measuring progress and collecting feedback.

Summary

m
The devastating health conditions of the population of Jordan necessitate the initiatives
described in this change proposal. The goals and objectives of this change initiative align with

o
the funding organization where public health is prioritized. With commonly shared goals, these
funding organizations can financially support this change proposal for successful
implementation. The aligned goals of improved public health and reduced mortality and

.c
morbidity rates will enable funding organizations to contribute toward the common cause.
Through collaborative effort for a similar cause, a feeling of promoting meaningful change
develops through empathy and power. We are greatly indebted to the funding agencies for
PX
warm-heartedly considering and supporting this initiative for the community of Jordan.
