- Draft a 3-5 page change proposal to executive leaders, soliciting their support for a change to the health care system in the community you selected in the previous assessment.
Introduction
To improve health care outcomes within a community, leaders must understand the needs of specific populations. In addition, it is important that leaders are able to gather and present persuasive evidence to decision makers to obtain the necessary funding and establish these needs as priorities for budget and resource planning. Thus, proposed changes should support improved outcomes and align with the current or needed health care policy.
This assessment provides an opportunity to propose a community health care change that is based on the community health assessment you completed in Assessment 2.
Preparation

They have also asked you to submit your recommendation in a formal change proposal. You are confident that you can present a strong case for change, including a financial plan, that will ensure the success of this initiative.
In this assessment, you will draft a change proposal to executive leaders to solicit support for a change to the current community health care system. To prepare for the assessment, you are encouraged to begin thinking about your justification for establishing the recommended change as a priority, a strategy for leading change, and how the change will be funded.

Change Proposal
A change regarding healthcare is successful when health organizations and professionals
identify the required change and get a chance to influence it. Other significant factors that
contribute to a successful change are the preparedness of professionals, recognizing of the
benefits and value of the change, and knowing its health outcomes (Nilsen et al., 2020). A change
proposal plays a vital role in the identification of change, its value, benefits, and outcomes. In
this assessment, I will draft a change proposal, soliciting the support of executive leaders for
health-related change in the Jordan Community.
Summary
Benefits and Implication
The major health issues in the Jordan community were related to imbalanced
socioeconomic status, water contamination, and poor air quality (JordanMN, 2021). Due to
economic differences, several people were included in a low-income population. Such a
population has to face several health disparities like difficulty in dealing with the cost of
healthcare services, lack of regular hospital visits due to costly health insurance, and lack of
health access due to expensive management of chronic health conditions (Capella University,
n.d.). Poor economic status is linked with several other aspects of the community such as
education, healthcare access, living standards, and safety (Lago et al., 2018). The poor conditions
of water and air in the community also contribute to several health conditions including cholera,
diarrhea, asthma, respiratory disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (Manisalidis et
al., 2020). And such conditions are difficult to manage for people, especially those belonging to
low economic status.

Keeping all the issues of the community in view, the proposed change is the use of
telehealth services and the initiative of free medical camps every six months. The goals of the
change include spreading awareness about safety measures, access to affordable healthcare, and
free medical check-ups for the poor population (Haque et al., 2022; Pathak et al., 2019).
Telehealth services have several direct benefits as they will provide the community with easy
access to low-cost healthcare. Low-income people will be able to get affordable healthcare
through online visits (Kichloo et al., 2020). Moreover, the people affected by waterborne health
conditions and air pollution will get treatment and safety awareness through
