CARING FOR THE DISPLACED AND UNINSURED An essential text to
understanding key aspects of caring for uninsured people from
underserved populations Caring for the Displaced and Uninsured
presents clinical case studies that focus on the issues faced
primarily by patients who are uninsured, self-paying, or are
visiting from their home countries. While addressing the clinical
aspects of primary care for a variety of conditions, these case
studies go a step further to confront the issues faced by patients
who seek care in clinics for the uninsured. Each case highlights
the challenges presented by cultural, language and economic
differences to providing high quality care, in particular for those
whose jobs negatively affect their health, such as through
musculoskeletal pain, neurological problems, prolonged standing,
depression, or anxiety about feeding and housing their families.
The cases explore how the healthcare provider approaches care with
insufficient resources for patients who may have fled torture and
violence, poverty and homelessness to face new challenges in the
United States. The healthcare provider plays a key role in the
adjustment of people seeking a better life for themselves and their
families. Caring for the Displaced and Uninsured addresses: Issues
related to family, medication, food, housing, finances, work,
trauma, mental health, specialty access, delayed screening,
visitors, and immigration How to think in broader terms when
treating immigrant or uninsured patients The nuances of treating
patients who have lived outside of their home country, apart from
their families, for many years Tips for providing quality
healthcare within the parameters that currently exist in the
healthcare system This text provides valuable insight and
perspective for nursing and healthcare students, particularly those
taking community health classes and classes that focus on uninsured
and underserved populations.
