NRS-490 -Weekly Reflective Journal Week One-Health Disparity

  This week, my mentor and I discussed the topic of the project. We realized some differences between our working environments during the brainstorming exercise, like the hospitals’ financial stability, the organizational cultures, and the patient population. For instance, my mentor worked in a non-profit hospital where most of the patients are insured, financially stable, and have emotional support from their families. I work in a private hospital that serves low-wage individuals; who depend highly on government insurance programs like Medicaid. Such inequalities in people’s financial standards lead to health disparities in health institutions where the more privileged patients get better services than the unfortunate ones. As we discussed the current healthcare system’s everyday problems, we realized that Central-Line Association Bloodstream Infection (CLABSI) was common in both hospitals. Besides, most hospitals have failed in following the regulations provided by the Centre for Disease Control on CLABSI prevention strategies. Thus, most hospitals would appreciate a project aimed at reducing CLABSI incidents and the resulting number of deaths
