Children and youth often face challenges in understanding and managing their health due to limited health literacy. This can affect their ability to make informed decisions, follow medical instructions, and achieve positive health outcomes. Health literacy is not only crucial for the child but also for their parents or caregivers, who play an essential role in guiding them through their health journeys. Healthcare providers must work collaboratively with both children and their families to ensure that everyone has the knowledge and support needed for effective healthcare management.
Answer both of these questions in your discussion post this week. You must use a resource in your answer, and utilize APA formatting (in-text citation and reference) in your response.
1. How do you think a parent or caregiver’s level of health literacy can influence a child’s health literacy and overall health outcomes? Provide examples from the readings or personal experience.
2. What strategies can healthcare providers use to engage both children and their parents or caregivers in understanding health information, making sound decisions, and adhering to a treatment plan? Consider factors such as cultural competence and communication skills from the assigned readings.

Part 3: Program Finances
Factors that determine the financial feasibility of a health care program include the cost of the facility, equipment, staff salaries, patient out-of-pocket expenses, and insurance reimbursement. Referring to the concepts practiced in the collaborative assignment with your group last week, work on the following:
1. Determine how many physicians and supporting staff are needed to operate the clinic, applying the appropriate ratio of clinical and support staff per physician.
2. Determine the direct costs of the program. Direct costs in this case are patient expenses, and they increase as the number of patients increase. These include:
a. Physician and procedural support staff costs per patient/procedure
b. Gloves, sutures, gowns, equipment, lab supplies, other supplies
3. Determine the indirect costs of the program. Indirect costs are overhead costs that include but are not limited to:
a. General support staff and related costs
b. Electronic medical records
c. Insurance and taxes
d. Facility and administration
e. Employee benefits such as health and life insurance, retirement plans, and fringe benefits
4. Determine the equipment costs of the program. This includes items for the physician clinic that will be used for more than one year. This is in contrast to variable costs which occur per patient and include such items as gloves, syringes, needles, and gauze, and would include items such as:
a. Examination tables
b. Workstations
c. Desks and chairs in the waiting room
d. Other equipment of this nature
5. Determine reimbursement for clinic services based on HCPCS/CPT codes with geographical adjustment.
6. Determine net reimbursement after variable costs per patient.
7. Determine how many patients the clinic will need to see (a) on average per day and (b) annually to break even on expenses.
Note: Refer to the health financial instructions and sample calculations document to help you with this part of the project.
