How Technology, Care Coordination And Community Resources Will Be Applied

Technology plays an essential role in enhancing healthcare. Technology has come with new ways to tame the immune system in the battle against cancer that will be curable. Therefore, technology can create cancer vaccines that prevent an individual from getting cancer and detect cancer early when it is curable. Technology has additionally come with CAR-T cell treatment (June et al., 2018). It comprises taking immune T-cells from the patient and genetically designing them to focus on a particular cancer antigen. CAR-T is changing the therapy worldview for cancer growth by focusing on explicit therapies to cancer cells. This is a tremendous invention in the fight against cancer in the future.

Diagnosis of cancer raises a wide range of challenges and concerns to the patients and the family. In this case, community resources are needed to assist patients and their families with many woes that are experiencing a diagnosis of cancer raises a broad scope of difficulties and fears (Haines, 2020).

Luckily, community resources are expected to help patients and their families with many issues that surface. The community can play a vital role in assisting cancer patients and their families in paying hospital bills, transportation assistance, emotional support, offering reliable, exceptional information on treatment alternatives, clinical trials, and managing side effects brought by cancer. Health care workers and the community enable the provision of healthcare as they are partly involved themselves in the wellbeing of the patient and family.

Conclusions

In conclusion, fundamentals in this assessment will provide solutions to the two cancer patients, their families, and the community on matters to deal with cancer. The intervention proposed from this assessment will play a significant role in offering solutions for cancer patients, not only these two patients but also curb future infection. Communication and collaboration encourage successful teamwork, continuity, and clarity within the patient healthcare team.

With the government’s support on cancer research amenities and with new technology for fighting cancer, I believe in the future, we will have a well- established healthcare system.
