دانلود کتاب مراقبت از آوارگان و بدون بیمه ها – مطالعات موردی بالینی در مراقبت های بهداشتی پرستاری

This book emerged from my clinical practice as the only full-time healthcare provider in a small clinic for uninsured, mostly immigrant patients. I had worked in community clinics before as well as in private practice, student health, and urgent care. Despite many years of experience as a nurse and a nurse practitioner, I was unprepared for the beyond-clinical aspects of this type of practice. The case studies within this book focus on the issues faced primarily by patients who are uninsured, self-pay, or are visiting from their home countries. The latter may be insured in their home countries but are not insured in the United States. Patients who have Medicaid or Medicare are also included because they have access to different, not always better, resources than those who are uninsured. Self-pay patients are typically those who make too much money to be eligible for resources available to the uninsured but either do not make enough money to purchase insurance or prefer not to do so. Each clinic of this type is different depending on their structure and financial support. However, working with the uninsured, particularly immigrants, to provide them timely and high-quality healthcare with minimal resources is consistent across the board.
