Answer 2 for NURS FPX 4060 Assessment 3 Disaster Recovery Plan

Slide 2: Introduction

Managing a large patient population during a crisis presents substantial obstacles. The Disaster Recovery Plan tries to recoup from possible losses caused by a disaster. I will illustrate this idea with a sad occurrence resulting in several injuries. A large wildfire on July 6, 2021, caused severe destruction to the hamlet of Smallville, located in northern California. In a short amount of time, the fire completely engulfed the town, robbing approximately 19,000 homes and taking the lives of 31 individuals. The purpose of this presentation is to address the health obstacles or factors that may result from the disaster. The presentation will also look at a Disaster Recovery plan, which is meant to manage and reduce the impacts of a disaster.

Slide 3: Factors of Health and the Social, Economic, and Cultural Barriers

During catastrophic situations, healthcare staff, including medical professionals and physicians, must be more proactive in crisis management. Patient demographics should be considered when developing a healthcare plan for a person. Various communication techniques or approaches may assist in reducing the influence of social, economic, and cultural obstacles on safety and health programs (Stephens et al., 2022).

Health Determinants: Patients’ socioeconomic position, low-income neighborhoods, unemployment, insufficient education and literacy, cultural variety, ethnicity, and environmental circumstances are all health determinants. These concerns may cause disparities in healthcare organizations.

Social Barriers: Various variables impact the safety and quality of care during disasters. During disastrous occurrences, vulnerable groups such as low-income communities, minorities, older adults, unauthorized migrants, and those with impairments face disproportionate burdens. Hospital access is restricted in low-income populations (Stephens et al., 2022). Patient inequities emerge, with significant consequences for patient care and safety. Discrimination among healthcare workers might create organizational hurdles.

Cultural Barriers: Ethnicity, religion, cultural values, and beliefs may all have a significant influence on how patients are treated and cared for. Each patient has their own set of cultural notions. Patients should be treated in a culturally appropriate manner. Stephens et al. (2022) found that cultural barriers may impact the quality of therapy and patients’ health. Language and cultural obstacles may make it difficult for medical staff and patients to communicate effectively.

Economic Barriers: Financial worries may considerably impact overall healthcare quality, especially in rural areas. Low-income populations lack resources and cannot afford costly medical care. Furthermore, homelessness as a consequence of tragic occurrences creates financial barriers to getting medical treatment for the majority of people (Lin et al., 2023). To reduce health inequities, healthcare organizations should prioritize offering patients free treatment. It is critical to deploy funding and assist low-income neighborhoods to eliminate disparities.

Slide 4: Interrelationships among social, economic, and cultural factors

On the other hand, providing patient care and treatment may be negatively impacted by several different variables, including social, cultural, and economic effects. (Stephens et al., 2022) Healthcare organizations must emphasize the importance of ethical standards during times of crisis and ensure that all patients are treated equally. This makes it possible for organizations to determine patients’ cultural origins and provide suitable therapy. In addition, to alleviate the effects of economic challenges, organizations should prioritize providing affordable medical care to economically disadvantaged persons. In addition to this, it is essential to give those who are facing homelessness with housing possibilities.

Slid 5: Plan for Disaster Recovery

The Disaster Recovery Plan seeks to mitigate disparities and uphold ethical principles and patient respect. Furthermore, a comprehensive strategy is developed to reduce patient morbidity in the face of catastrophic events. This plan focuses on implementing the MAP-IT framework. The MAP-IT framework comprises five essential components: mobilization, access, planning, implementation, and tracking. This presentation aims to develop a strategy for reducing hospital morbidity and enhancing patients’ quality of life (Grey, 2022). This framework facilitates organizational comprehension of community needs and the formulation of corresponding strategies for their resolution. Furthermore, the utilization of MAP
