Population Health Problem Solution
• The contemporary technology has evolved in various ways
• Healthcare problems include disparities in prenatal care among the women from the minority groups.
• These groups have been neglected by maternal and prenatal care.
• This predisposed them to birth complications leading to high maternal mortality rates
• Focus groups have evolved methodologies to incorporate the society and local communities in prenatal care.
Role of Leadership and Change Management
• Nurse leaders are integral in pushing decisions and policies in the healthcare sector.
• Nurses are also known to lobby for better representation of patient issues.
• Nurse leaders have shaped the healthcare industry (Howell, 2018).
• Pharmaceutical products remediate opportunistic diseases that occur during pregnancy.
Communication Strategy to Improve Outcome
• Prenatal care is a holistically integrated practice (Madula et al., 2018).
• Communication is key in coordinating all the stakeholders involved
• When communication is not appropriate there is a challenge of care discontinuation.
• Various consideration like the use of appropriate language should be evaluated.
State Board Nursing Standards and
Government Policies
• Government policies are important in regulatory duties
• Government involvement through policies insure operations are standardized.
• American Medical Association (AMA) has developed policies that guide the working of nurses.
• The body has instituted policies like healthcare equality.
Proposed Intervention and Quality of Care
• Standardization of prenatal care is done through government oversight
• Government interventions are aimed at improving quality of care.
• Interventions will provide a liberal and a free environment that promotes openness.
• Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality are important.
• They provide a reliable benchmark that gives the quality requirements when administering medication.
Application of Technology and Community
Resources
• Technology is an important component of the healthcare landscape.
• Technology will be used in the prenatal setting to advance fetal screening (Katon et al., 2021).
• Technology has also powered research and scientific innovation to combat cancer.
• Care coordination has led to the standardization of procedures and modalities
