Healthcare Services The respect for humanity involves helping individuals to access services that they are unable to access under normal circumstances. Healthcare is an expensive sector that offers significant challenges to individuals. The provision of uniform coverage will ensure that discrimination does not occur based on race and economic classes. Generally, the healthcare sector should uphold the equality and accessibility of the available services. Equality should be upheld in the healthcare sector to avoid cases of discrimination and poor-quality services. The Affordable Care Act of 2010 brought a change in perception of the social classes in society. Generally, the Affordable Care Act involves separating beneficiaries along with economic classes (Artiga, Orgera & Damico, 2019). The level of coverage depends on the income level of the recipient. However, the level of service provision should be made equal, so that the government does not unknowingly leave people who need cover. Besides, the knowledge on the income level of an individual may be exaggerated. Population groups, such as homeless people, require large amounts of healthcare resources. Humanity necessitates that such groups be…

Innovation in healthcare Healthcare organizations require innovation to promote patient safety and their employee satisfaction. In Kelly’s book, the ten faces of innovation, ten personas are presented as examples of roles health care managers, leaders, and all healthcare workers can improve innovation. The personas highlighted are not personality traits attached to an individual. The face that is most familiar in my professional life The cross-pollinator face is the face that is most familiar in my professional life. According to Kelly (2005), the cross-pollinator face of innovation explores other cultures and industries and translates the findings to fit the needs of their organization. For instance, in the organization I work for, research is often carried out about cultures of healthcare customers in our organization. For example, research on the factors affecting breastfeeding practices among lactating mothers was conducted, and it was found that cultural factors hindered women from breastfeeding their babies. Therefore, it provided a gap that would be educating women on the importance of breastfeeding.. The face that is least familiar in my professional life In the experimenter face of…

Are Mental Health Diagnoses Related To Immune System Dysregulation Mental health is imperative for proper body functioning, including the immune system. Brain activities are responsible for biological responses initiated during inflammation and are, therefore, closely related to human immunity. Damages in the brain negatively affect the entire body system. Psychiatric disorders are highly prevalent in the general population due to the existence of many life stressors. The occurrence of mental illnesses can lead to immune dysfunctions. It is worth noting that some psychiatric conditions create high risks of autoimmune diseases, which can be understood by exploring events surrounding their occurrence. Primarily, this paper seeks to examine incidents of autoimmune disease co-occurrence as well as the relationship between mental health diagnoses and immune system dysregulation.
