4 page paper

Imagine that you have been appointed the director of health at the Kaluyu Memorial Hospital in Nairobi, Kenya—a for-profit hospital. The facility is also a referral hospital and receives severe cases of accidents and chronicle and communicable diseases, and it houses an HIV/AIDS ward. As you settle into your position, you realize that the employees always act scared as they approach their superiors. Some of the employees deliver files and leave your office in a hurry. 

As you make your routine departmental visits, you realize that there are tensions between nurses and doctors, and there is a sentiment that the nurses tend to do the majority of the work within patient care but the doctors get all the credit. You realize that the employees are always looking forward to the end of their shifts when they can go home. Some employees even come back to work wearing the same unwashed clothes as the previous day. Too many employees are calling in sick, and many of them give weak reasons for their tardiness.

There is also a sense that employees and nurses dominate other employees in similar positions. In meetings and conference calls, some employees are quiet and never participate. You notice that people with families tend to gather and talk quietly on breaks. The new mothers working for the hospital have to use bathrooms to pump breast milk for their infants, and the refrigerators do not work well. Looking at the financial statements of the hospital, you realize that the hospital’s expenses are higher than the industry standard, and it makes losses year after year.

The public health system focuses on prevention through population-based health promotion-those public services and interventions which protect entire populations from illness, disease, and injury-and protection. Social media is increasingly used for public health and health promotion as well. The use of graphic videos is controversial. Some are offended, others upset, children may be especially so. The biggest question is-do they work?

Most deaths that occur in many health care settings are associates with chronic diseases or illness. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) points out that the conditions are preventable. Evidence-based services are of importance in helping to improve health since its role in identifying the risk factors associated with poor health outcomes comes in handy. The approach also helps in lowering the cost of the health care systems as well as that of the patients. Some of the preventive care services for these chronic diseases are; vaccinations against the disease, cancer screenings, regular checkups, health education, and counseling on issues like smoking cessation, and daily or routine screenings such as cholesterol levels and blood pressure.           Prevention of diseases is important to the community since it helps people to live healthier lives and engage in their daily activities without any complications. The ethnic and racial minority communities also benefit from the standard prevention measures as they are more prone to chronic illnesses. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has made it easier for people to access preventive care services by introducing and expanding health care insurance coverage to everyone (Simmons University, 2016).

Nurse Practitioners (NPs) can impact on the disease prevention, which traditionally was done by the primary care physicians. A big percentage of the NPS have skills and knowledge on how to offer primary care services which make them fit to offer preventive services. They are also equipped with holistic skills that are essential in providing care for patients, communities, and families. In the prevention and promotion of health, the nurse practitioners are involved by engaging and influencing the behavior of the patients by developing long-lasting relationships. The development of these relationships helps the nurses to empower and enlighten the patients on how to make better life choices and live a healthy lifestyle to prevent chronic diseases from occurring (Simmons University, 2016). The clinical settings of the NPs also play a significant role in expanding preventive care to the patients and the community at large. They work in various settings such as community health clinics and standalone or in-store urgent care clinics. Other clinical practice locations are worksite health centers, college campuses, and independent clinical practice environments.
