Healthcare barrier /issue: Health Professional Shortage

Despite the efforts of various health organizations to administer health care and services to various people, they still encounter various barriers that hinder them from achieving their objectives while working. Health professional shortage has continued to rise as one of the medical field’s significant concerns that affect most organizations from achieving their goals. Administering health care services to people requires adequate health personnel and resources to help the professional reach the targeted number of people within a specified time (Khoury, 2022). The lack of adequate professionals in the field leads to various challenges faced by the health organizations and community, such as the failure to control a particular disease in the area and the rise in mortality rate in affected areas.

A change of plans in handling the problem will help in enhancing medical care in health professional shortage areas. Introduction of scholarships and loan repayment to medical students where eligible students for the scholarship are to be engaged in offering medical services to regions experiencing health professional shortage. The students will also be provided loan repayment as they work in their assigned areas. The project has various assumptions, such as fresh physicians from school will get a ready job for them as they sign up the contract that offers them multiple opportunities. The summary done by HRSA indicates evidence of various regions that require medical practitioners (HRSA, 2022). Implementation of the technology enables me as a leader to identify multiple areas that need more medical aid. The proposed plan will be different as it will benefit students graduating from school while they help serve the community.
