This week introduces you to the philosophy behind Primary Health Care and its development over time, as well as to the Social Determinants of Health. You are all health care providers already, and have some (albeit varying) levels of experience with both of these concepts.
For this discussion board go to the NY Academy of Medicine website: Image:NYC. This is an interactive map that you can change to reflect items of interest to you – for example I looked up people over 65 who qualify for Medicaid in addition to the Medicare services they qualify for by age (which means they are low-income) and cross-referenced federally funded health centers (who cater to low income populations such as this). You can see on my map http://imagenyc.nyam.org/map/?latlng=40.60092%2C-73.80409&z=10&choropleth=p65plus_two_hlthins_medicare_medicaid&layers=federally%20qualified%20health%20centers%2Cboroughs%2Ccompare that the location of health centers doesn’t necessarily match where low-income elderly are living. What health challenges does this present?
What to do:
Go to the website and select map settings that are of interest to you. Play around with the options. http://imagenyc.nyam.org/
Use the share this map to generate a link to include in your discussion board post (you should also print a version to bring to class).
Explain your selections and list three ways that your findings might influence the health of the people you selected to look at.
Be prepared to discuss your findings at our next class meeting.
Id like to focus on mental health services
I have attached a sample paper
