Priorities that a care coordinator would establish when discussing the plan with a patient and family member Developing Patients’ Strengths and Abilities
The healthcare provider should ensure that patients are empowered and involved in the care process. The family members will not only provide the necessary care but also empower the patients to care for themselves.
Provide Personalized Care and Treatment
When implementing Patient-Centered Medical Home and Interpersonal psychotherapy the health care provider will learn the specific needs, cultural beliefs, personal circumstances and values to offer personalized care. The family members can provide vital information to further understand the needs of the patient.
Coordinated Care
The healthcare provider should coordinate with other health and social care workers to ensure that the patients receive the most appropriate services. Coordination with other professionals will ensure the exchange of knowledge and skills for all the proposed interventions.
Comparison between learning session content and best practices
Healthy People 2020 is a policy by the Federal Government to build a healthy nation. Healthy People 2020 has various goals that can be achieved by the implementation of the proposed mental health interventions. First, Healthy People 2020 seeks to identify nationwide health improvement priorities. The school-based mental health program creates a platform to understand mental issues that affect children. The program creates a platform for interaction between health care providers and children who are more vulnerable to mental illnesses. Healthy People 2020 also seek to increase public awareness and understanding of various determinants of health including diseases. The school-based program ensures children learn about mental illnesses at an early age hence increasing chances of early detection of mental-related illnesses. Additionally, the Patient-Centered Medical Home intervention ensures that family members are involved in the care process hence further increase public awareness and understanding. Healthy People 2020 also aim at providing measureable objectives and goals that can be adopted by various institutions. All the proposed interventions create an opportunity to measure various attributed of mental health. For example, Interpersonal psychotherapy can determine the most stressful event at a particular time. For example, if majority of the people experience stress due to the effects of Covid-19, then covid-19 can be viewed as a major stressor. The number of school programs in a state and their success in reducing the cases of mental-related illnesses can also be measured effectively hence enable a health care facility set realistic goals.
