WEEK OF JUNE 13TH VICTOR MOTURI

What we have done thus far in class.

Reviewed Course Objectives. Posted an introduction of ourselves on Bb. Of special interest in the introduction was the type of involvement we have had with community health care agencies, especially a health department.

We held a chat session on course objectives, course assignments and timeliness.The community assessment as a framework for interdisciplinary rural health care planning was presented in discussion board. We learned about Craven County Health Care System. The statistics indicated the death rate from various diseases and the number of health care professionals available in the county.

Designing a Public Health System for Craven County is possible with the introduction we received during our June 6 chat session. The Public Health System should be based on the health care needs of the county residents. The PH should be designed with the the State regulations and other affiliated organizations and associations' policies to PH.

Why is this learning important to you as a future health professional:

The knowledge from learning about rural health care gives me the big picture of the future of the health care globally. U.S. can serve as an initial template of the best health care system that can serve community members efficiently while offering quality health care. This is just but an initial step to globalizing the health care system. The old adage says charity begins at home.

The project introduced to us the basics of implementing a working health care system. From the administration to implementing effective Information Communication Technology Infrastructure. This defines the roles of the Health care professional that i am learning to be.

Why is it important to other health professionals that you may work with in patient care?

Learning about Rural Health care makes collaboration easier within the work place. It gives the health professionals a common perspective about the rural health care.

How is what you are learning important to the rural health of Eastern NC?
