It is crucial to consider factors like access to transportation and education level. If an individual lacks reliable access to transportation, it may be difficult for them to keep their scheduled appointment with their health care provider. This could result in a poorer outcome. In addition, individuals with low education levels and limited English skills may have difficulty navigating the healthcare system.
Furthermore, having a low income can also affect one’s ability to pay for necessary medical bills or medications which could exacerbate any existing conditions. In order to ensure these people receive the best possible home care or case management, it’s important that healthcare providers take these social factors into account.
