HEALTH POLICY PAPER INTRODUCTION
There are people who would not hesitate to call the authorities on another person to be spiteful or to cause them harm. Do they really know or understand what they are doing? Not only are they putting that person through stress, but also the family as a unit will suffer. The children are sometimes removed, from the home, depending on what was reported.in some incidents children must undergo a traumatizing exam. In many states including New Jersey, child abuse laws are written so that it is mandatory that certain professionals report abuse of a child. The list includes doctors, nurses, social workers, school officials, day care workers, and law enforcement ("Professionals Required to Report," 2013,

Some children have never been to the emergency room and never had x-rays or a team of health care workers asking questions pertaining to parts of their body. The pain is not only physical it will be emotional as well. When the reporter knowingly calls in the report of child abuse, it will change the family dynamics. The child is most likely thinking what did I do so wrong to have this happen to me.
ACCESS TO CARE
A collaboration between agencies will determine if a violation has taken place. When a child is suspected to have been in a situation where the question of abuse has occurred authorities will be called. Once in the care of officials the team will address the complaints and act accordingly. Usually hospital personnel under the guidelines of state officials will take control of the situations. As for the caller the access to care does not change unless they are found guilty of the crime. The caller’s health care will be provided by the state in a correctional

    One of those expectations is reporting abuse or suspected abuse. I asked my field work supervisor if she has ever had to file a report because I wanted to hear first-hand how the process works. Luckily, she has only had to contact child protective services a couple of times. I was grateful to hear about her experiences because she talked about aspects the training does not mention. For example, the angry backlash from parents or guardians after a report is made. The reporter’s confidentiality is protected, but sometimes it is easy for the parent or guardian to connect the dots and realize who made the report of abuse. The training also does not cover the emotions that may come up for the person making the report. Discovering a child is being abused is difficult and heart breaking to say the least, but it can be even more difficult if the abuse is taking place in home that one placed the child in or is case managing. The professional may end up feeling guilty and responsible for the…

    Two weight management programs that I found are the HCG diet, and the Atkins diet. HCG is human chorionic gonadotropin. You must take a couple drops a day of this chemical and place yourself on a very strict 500 calorie daily diet. You are only allowed to eat certain foods and cannot have any sugar. The program claims that you will lose a pound a day and not feel hungry while only eating 500 calories. The cost involved of this program is purchasing the HCG drops which are available on amazon for about $25 for a 40 day supply. It is recommended to stay on the program for 40 days unless you have to lose less than 20 pounds for which they only recommend 20 days.…

    The harsh reality of child abuse often puts school staff members on the front lines of identifying possible abuse. Some children will talk to you about the abuse they may endure. While other children may feel threatened not to tell or may they might not realize that what is occurring is abusive.

    The Canada Health Act (CHA) unmistakably forbids “cherry-picking” of patients, stating “no one may be discriminated against on the basis of such factors as income, age, and health status”. It also sets provisions against charging patients for insured services through user charges or extra-billing, a practice that makes discrimination in favor of wealthier patients unprofitable to physicians (Madore). If met and given universal coverage, these provisions imply that greater patient wealth offers no promise of monetary reward to physicians and should, thus, be unimportant when offering a medical appointment.…

    It feels good to be able to make a doctor’s appointment and get health screens or prescriptions as needed without the hassle of being rejected because lack of health insurance. I, unlike millions, am employed full time by a major company that has this option. A very close friend of mine, who is paralyzed from the waist down had been covered by his mother’s health insurance through her employer for many years. Last year, she came of retirement age and the insurance company informed them that Jimmy will no longer be covered and need to seek other options. Until President Obama’s Health Care Reform Bill, Jimmy was denied coverage numerous times because of his “pre-existing conditions.” How could a country so rich, deny a person who needs medical insurance? We needed a change and this Bill was indeed the answer. The Health Care Reform Bill is much needed and relevant to society because it will extend health care…

    President Obama’s Affordable Care Act (ACA) enacted in March 2010 will increase health insurance coverage to millions of Americans. This is the first significant reform in health care in over 40 years and targets closing the gap of uninsured Americans by mandating insurance. There has been debate over the individual health insurance mandate and whether it is constitutional. Opinions on the individual mandate and the values it impacts are conflicting among all stakeholders. This talk will concentrate on the following stakeholder groups: (1) Insurance companies and (2) uninsured individuals who might otherwise choose not to purchase health insurance or do not have the means to do so (Kaiser Family Foundation, 2012).…

    First, the nurse can request a meeting with the ethical committee or a multidisciplinary child abuse team if the organizations has one to discuss the need for keeping the patient hospitalized in order to protect the child until other evaluations regarding the safety of the patient and her home are completed and additional testing is performed even if insurance doesn't cover the hospitalization. Every suspected child abuse case should receive a "trauma survey", which is a full body skeletal survey to detect factures and their stages of healing. This survey can turn a suspected child abuse case into a definite case depending on the results of the exam. Additional laboratory tests including coagulation studies, CBC, electrolytes, and abdominal labs should be performed to determine any underlining medical reason for the patient's malnutrition, bruising if found or any question of trauma (Lazoritz,…

    As a child, one can just imagine the endless possibilities that life can hold for them. Not all children have the luck to make it to their adult or even teenage years. One of the videos to best show why, is Martina McBride’s video titled “Concrete Angel” which was first released in 2009. According to the video, there are kids who suffer abuse and most of them people are aware of it, but don’t know anything about it. Children, especially are innocent and don’t know what is it that is going around them so they of course don’t report it. Most people also can see the signs, but they decide to keep quiet for reasons unknown. I personally as a mother, if I were to see something like this of course I would report it to the proper authorities. Maybe,…
