Healthcare: Underserved Populations in the Community

Choose an underserved population and discuss the challenges they face in healthcare.

Choose a minority, marginalized, or vulnerable population. Describe at least two challenges they face with accessing and moving through the healthcare system (uninsured, underinsured, low literacy, language barrier, etc.). Discuss how a systems approach to proper care coordination would positively impact the challenges you identified. Describe how this approach will meet the patient’s needs, priorities, and expectations. How can raising the standard of care for underserved populations affect the healthcare system as a whole?
