The above articles explain professionalism, what qualities a professional holds, how a professional should behave in social media and what could happen to a professional who behaves inappropriately on social media. Social media can be an effective tool for sharing information, learning new ideas.

The above articles outline the definition of health and how it needs to change due to the change in health over the years. The articles also explain the determinants of health, what they are and how they can affect a person/community’s health. Health professionals can use the determinants of health to assist a person in their health care and what they need to focus on the help a person and their health issue.

The above articles are about the social ecological model of health, what it is, and how to apply it to a health issue. The model explains health to be affected through the interaction between the individual, group/community, physical, social and political environments. It also focuses on how various factors may affect a person’s/community’s health.

I used the social ecological model of health to explain what factors in a person’s/community’s life may affect their mental health. The above resources explain how health care professionals use the information gathered from the health care models to focus on what needs changing, and/or focus on to health a person’s mental health issue.

The resources I chose for the vulnerable population’s unit consists of Indigenous populations and health care. The articles explain statistics of what health issues exist these populations and how they do not have access to regular health care. Another vulnerable population I chose to learn about are the elderly. I work in retirement home and witness the vulnerability of this population. The above articles explain the elderly as not having regular to access to healthcare due to being alone and not having the transportation to health appointments, the money or coverage to afford medication and/or the mental capacity to take care of themselves.

The above articles explain the future changes in health care and what needs to change in the future. Areas of improvement, noted in my curated material, are the need for senior’s quality care due to the aging baby boomer population, changes in the healthcare system also due to the aging population, and data management. These are just a few examples noted in the above articles. Another article addresses the future of drug cost in Canada. This article explains Pharmacare needs a publicly accountable body to manage and integrates best data and evidence to make decisions concerning drug coverage, drug prescribing and patient follow-up.
