Always use constructive language, even in criticism, to work toward the goal of positive progress.

Peer 1

Vulnerable populations are those whose health issues may be enhanced by social factors and experience greater risk factors, worse access to care, and increased morbidity and mortality compared to the general public (Joszt, 2018). This can include the chronically ill and disabled, low-income or homeless individuals, certain geographical communities, LGBTQ+ populations, and the very old and very young.

In my community I can tell you about our Georgia Pines Behavioral Center that is state funded to provide mental health services from counseling to referrals for crisis interventions. To be eligible for services you need a valid Georgia ID, proof of household income, and Medicaid or Medicare documentation, If you do not have Medicaid or Medicare they do offer payment assistance.

Two other facilities that are located in my community are the Georgia Farm Worker Health Clinic and Primary Care of Southwest Georgia. These two clinics are very similar in that they are both federally funded and base service fees off of a sliding scale from proof of income. Each clinic offers a variety of different services, but are essentially equal in primary care. The differences are Primary Care of Southwest Ga is considered an FQHC, which is a Federally Qualified Community Health Center and serves the entire community. The Farm Worker Health Clinic only serves people that work in agriculture and can show proof of income from agriculture work. Anyone who lives in the same household as them also qualify. Having facilities in my community are a blessing since there are so many counties and towns that do not have any access to health care near them.

Peer 2

The population that I chose to research resources were the homeless people in the my area. The three organizations I found were Western Tidewater Community Services Board, Social Services and For Kids. All three of these organizations are non-profit organizations that assist with the community. The CSB  helps the homeless population with medication, case management services, food vouchers, financial assistance vouchers, clothes. Social services also helps the homeless with money and food. They link them to other resources as well. For Kids assist with shelters (they have homes), money, food, clothes (Good Mojo Store), crisis line, job coaching, mental health coordination and case management. 

Each organization is funded similar and differently at times. The CSB is funded through donations and state issued grants. They also get reimbursements from Medicaid when they provided certain services. Social services is funded by local and state funds. Lastly, For Kids is funded my grants from both local and state pools. They also use donations due to them being a non-profit. 

I think that all three organizations are able to provide good services/ support to the homeless because each one of them might know other services that can assist. Also, if they work together can provide a better solution for the population.

Reflect on the current roles of advanced practice nurses in healthcare as the care providers at the front line of disease management and health promotion in primary care and many other specialty settings. What do you think are some effective tactics for APN strategic positioning regarding pay equality? Should APNs position themselves as lower-cost providers who provide better care or push for comparable worth, same service and same pay?

Below is an article that provides great practical information that highlights how provider productivity is calculated in the clinical setting, which is important to know as future nurse practitioners.

Aggregate Community Windshield Survey

There are two parts to the windshield survey assignment. In Week 1 you are required to submit a draft of your survey. In Week 2 you will submit your final windshield survey based on feedback from your instructor and your continued work.

In a Microsoft Word document of 3-4 pages formatted in APA style, you will describe the aggregate and community in which the aggregate is located. Please note that the title and reference pages should not be included in the total page count of your paper.

Describe the Aggregate

Begin the assignment by describing your aggregate. Include the following information:

• Name of the aggregate
• Geographical location and size
• Population
• A brief history
• Basic vital statistics
• Crude birth rate, infant mortality rate, life expectancy, leading causes of death, and any other relevant statistical information related to the health of the aggregate from the windshield survey.
• Explain, giving at least two reasons, why you selected this particular aggregate for your Capstone project

Windshield Survey

With the use of public transportation or by driving a vehicle around the community, you can assess the common characteristics of the community of your selected aggregate.

Key observations to make during a windshield survey include the following:

• Age and condition of the homes in the community
• Location and condition of parks and other recreational areas
• Amount of space between homes and businesses
• Neighborhood hangouts
• Transportation in the community
• Quality of streets and sidewalks
• Types/numbers of stores and other businesses
• People out in the community
• Race/ethnicity
• Cleanliness of the community
• Billboards or other media displays
• Places of worship
• Availability of services—doctor, dentist, social centers, recreation centers, hospitals
