Accessing Healthcare. Select a vulnerable population and a community-based program
developed for this population. (Note: You may use the same program you selected for week
three’s discussion forum.) In a three to four page paper,

1) Describe the population and community-based program.
Intended population(s) served
Location of program (rural/urban)
Profit or non-for-profit
Services provided
2) Describe two organizational barriers that limit vulnerable populations’ access to the program.
3) Justify how these items may be considered barriers to the population selected.
Examples of barriers may include: location/hours of operation; availability of providers; does
not accept uninsured clients, clients with Medicare, or Medicaid; private or public funding
constraints; clients’ care is uncoordinated, fragmented or has gaps; and lacks culturally
sensitive care (i.e. serves Spanish-speaking community, but information is only published in
English).
4) Provide a strategy (one for each barrier) that could be used to reduce or eliminate the
barriers. Strategies must address the barrier.
Example: Barrier- location/hours of operation Strategy: Move services or extend services to
meet population’s needs (i.e. open on the evenings and weekends)
Example: Barrier- availability of providers Strategy: recruitment campaign to bring more
providers to the area or work with universities graduating healthcare workers to provide
internships
Example: Barrier- Does not accept uninsured clients, clients with Medicare, or Medicaid
Strategy: Work with policy makers to improve conditions so accepting these clients would not
place a financial burden on the community program (healthcare reform)
Example: Barrier- Private or public funding constraints Strategy: Explore new partnerships.
Example: Barrier- Clients’ care is uncoordinated, fragmented or has gaps Strategy: Pull
together a group of representatives from various programs and develop strategies to improve the
continuum of care
Example: Barrier- Lacking culturally sensitive care Strategy: Recruit healthcare workers/
volunteers from the population served; locate the program within the community, develop
educational/informational materials that meet clients needs (language, reading level, culturally
sensitive, etc.)
The paper must be a minimum of three pages in length (excluding the title and reference page)
and utilize APA format. Include a minimum of 3 references, cited in APA format.
