NURS FPX 4065 Assessment 5

NURS FPX 4065 Assessment 5 Final Care Coordination Strategy Student name Capella University NURS-FPX4065 Patient-Centered Care Coordination Professor’s Name Submission Date   Final Care Coordination Strategy Hypertension has been classified as one of the most prevalent and preventable chronic ailments in the elderly and the major cause of morbidity and mortality in the world. It is a chronic hypertension, increasing the degree of exposure to cardiovascular diseases, renal failure, and cerebrovascular accidents (Burnier and Damianaki, 2023). The issue of hypertension treatment among the aged population is not easy, given physiological changes of age, multiple morbidities, and the need to provide individuals with special medication plans. Care coordination is a potent instrument that will ensure that these obstacles are addressed through a comprehensive and patient-centered model that involves community resources, the healthcare delivery system, and the patients themselves. The subsequent intervention will complement the interdisciplinary collaboration, health equity, and achieve favorable outcomes of blood pressure management and living conditions among older adults with quantifiable outcomes. Patient-Centered Health Interventions and Timelines Health Issue I: Uncontrolled Blood Pressure and Medication Non-Adherence Intervention, Community Resources, and Timeline The elders with hypertension may face the challenge of maintaining optimal blood pressure due to the complications of medication, as well as due to their limited understanding of the medications. The aspects of intervention that are applied to enhance adherence and self-management are individualized medication management, monthly reconciliation, and home-based blood pressure monitoring (Oliveros et al., 2020). The assistance of the American Heart Association (AHA) and local wellness centers with senior citizens will be used to provide counseling and free BP checks (Abdalla et al., 2023). The program will begin and follow up in a week, and upon completion of one month, after every two weeks, a reduction of 10 mmHg in systolic BP should be attained in six months. Health Issue II: Sedentary Lifestyle and Poor Physical Activity Intervention, Community Resources, and Timeline Physical inactivity is associated with poor cardiovascular outcomes and dependence among older adults with hypertension. The intervention is a low-intensity exercise program of structured low-intensity exercise, such as daily 30-minute walking or chair aerobics, supervised by physiotherapists and promotes safe physical activity (Tian and Zhang, 2022). Collaboration with community fitness facilities, elderly fitness programs, and YMCA Silver Sneakers will ensure the provision of guided sessions and peer support (Vincenzo et al., 2021). This will be implemented in the first two weeks of the care plan, with the implementation to be reviewed after every two weeks, with the anticipation of a three-month measurability of the improvement in endurance and mobility. Health Issue III: Psychosocial Stress and Social Isolation Intervention, Community Resources, and Timeline Psychosocial stress and loneliness can elevate blood pressure and decrease motivation in the treatment of the elderly. The intervention will include the integration of peer-support groups, family counseling, and stress-reduction skills (mindfulness and relaxation therapy) (Sari et al., 2022). Collaboration with Elder Peer Support Networks and faith-based community centers will provide group-based sessions, which will facilitate socialization and emotional well-being. Its implementation will be conducted within the first month, where the group sessions will be conducted once a week, and the psychosocial evaluation will be conducted every month, and the goal will be to improve the mood and stress management scores by 30 percent within the final 12 weeks. Ethical Considerations Care coordination of hypertension in older adults is based on ethical considerations, whereby patient autonomy and dignity are the foundations of treatment. The nurses must seek informed consent before they initiate care plans: the reason, risks, and benefits of each intervention must be communicated clearly to enable shared decision-making (Rosca et al., 2023). The sensitivity to the preferences, cultural beliefs, and literacy of the patient helps to maintain trust and transparency in the process of care. Healthcare providers should adhere to the principle of beneficence by acting in the best interest of the patients by promoting interventions that will raise their well-being and minimize harm. The equity and responsibility in the treatment plan are also guaranteed by continuous moral thinking and cross-disciplinary communication. Confidentiality and privacy are also of equal importance when sensitive health information is involved. The data concerning any patients obtained during blood pressure check, medication review, or psychosocial examination needs to be stored safely and divulged only to team members who are authorized (Sheppard et al., 2020). Fair utilization of resources is determined through the moral value of justice, where the patients, irrespective of their socioeconomic status, are provided equal and quality care. The nurses must also be able to represent the older adults who may face difficulties accessing medication, or due to financial constraints. The use of ethical reasoning at every care coordination phase enables healthcare professionals to promote trust, enhance compliance, and generate sustainable outcomes of hypertension management. Health Policy Implications Health policies are relevant in the administration of hypertension and the results of older adults. Contrary to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Medicare Chronic Care Management (CCM) program, the federal programs aim at preventive care, care coordination, and access to affordable drugs (Salmon, 2020). The policies also promote patient-centered innovation, which reduces the rate of hospital readmission and enhances management of chronic diseases through the provision of structured follow-up and education. With the introduction of the Medicaid program, the low-income elderly population will enjoy equal access to primary and specialty services and will no longer be excluded from them. These models form an enabling policy environment for the proper management of hypertension in the community as well as the clinical environment. Locally, the local public health programs, which align with the Healthy People 2030, enhance the importance of reducing the prevalence of hypertension and improving the health of the heart through lifestyle change and early diagnosis. The continuum of care is supported by the policy of joint ventures between healthcare systems and community centers, and non-profit organizations, and culturally competent healthcare is encouraged (Chaturvedi et al., 2023). Besides, telehealth and home-based monitoring will be applied with the assistance of reimbursement models that enhance access
