Examples of barriers may include: location/hours of operation; availability of providers; does not accept uninsured clients, clients with Medicare, or Medicaid; private or public funding constraints; clients’ care is uncoordinated, fragmented or has gaps; and lacks culturally sensitive care (i.e. serves Spanish-speaking community, but information is only published in English).

Example: Barrier- location/hours of operation Strategy: Move services or extend services to meet population’s needs (i.e. open on the evenings and weekends)

Focus of the Research Paper
In Week Five, students will submit an eight- to ten- page research paper containing a minimum of five academic reference sources written within the last three years. The research paper will include the following:
Identify a vulnerable population within your community and:
- Utilizing data obtained from the county or state health department, or other government agency, provide some statistical information about your selected population (e.g. size, dollar figures, geographics, age breakdown, length of service provision, etc.)
- Identify and describe a service or outcome goal for your selected population (i.e. what health care service would you like to provide or access/usage pattern established by your selected population?). Make sure it is measurable:
Measureable example: 30% of the X population living within the city limits will obtain Y screening.
Not Measureable example: More people will receive health screenings.
