MMC's healthcare executives are reaching out outside their walls to help COVID-19 patients and
others who rely on hospitals. It has done the following in the last few weeks: Developed
telephone pre-visits for patients who want medication replenishes or routine laboratory work,
eliminating the need for patients to physically visit clinics, launched an outreach program to area
senior housing, and trained nursing institutions to provide on-site physical examination and
support, to allow susceptible elder groups to stay in their homes while unmoving obtaining
critical medical treatment and provide homeless people with outreach and shelter.
Potential Restrictions:
Rural hospitals face financial difficulty due to dwindling populations, which means fewer
patients to fill beds. Although the population of metropolitan counties has increased since 2000,
the population of rural counties has fallen, resulting in a decrease in revenue for rural hospitals
(Arnold, 2014).
Potential Requirements:

As the situation of CoVID-19 was very uncertain, nobody knew how and when it will end.
During such uncertain circumstances, Marshal Medical Care played its role very well. Health
policy consultants learned how to work in such circumstances when everyone is worried and
stressed. As a Health policy consultant, it was learned that uncertain circumstances might come
at any time, but the important thing is you must have the ability to deal with the situation.
Marshal medical care faced some financial constraints although they received some funding for
dealing with CoVID-19 the financial impact due to this pandemic was unknown. Health policy
consultant learned how to deal with the situation when there is fewer resources or money is
available.it was learned that as a health consultant you must know how to manage within given

Due to CoVID-19, besides work pressure, there was an emotional burden because no one had
any idea how these circumstances will go to end. During the job, as a health policy consultant, it
was also learned how to handle your emotions although you are very stressed or have severe
work pressure. To cope with stress is not only helpful for the individual himself only but this
ability to deal with emotional burden or stress, also helpful for others.
Communication plan
Health policy consultant during CoVID-19 in Marshal medical care worked more than his job.
During the pandemic it was not possible to communicate directly or face to face with other
patients and all staff of the hospital, so, for a communication plan, an approach of engagement
from distance was developed. Patients who needed regular checkups and suffering from some
other diseases other than that of CoVID-19 were contacted through phone calls before they
visited the hospital. Patients who needed to refill their prescriptions were also contacted through
phone class and if there is not a serious issue they were consulted on the phone so that they don't
need to come to the hospital. A second platform used for communication was arranging virtual
visits via Epic MY Chart. Moreover, for people to know about the state's shelter in place for the
public, buses, signboards, and bus posters were used. This was also an approach for
communicating a plan. This approach also included awareness among people regarding
protective measures, using social media (Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter). Make people know
about the severity of CoVID-19 and make them stay in their homes and take care of themselves
and others. Furthermore, increase awareness about safety risks in staff through virtual meetings
and to know and let them know about the issues and problems regarding the health of the patient,

Linkage map
A health policy consultant is a specialist who provides advice and assistance to businesses and
organizations. Their role is to help organizations decrease occupational health and safety hazards
while also offering best-practice consulting to help them manage the system internally more
effectively [ CITATION Kri19 \l 1033 ]. Health policy consultant in Marshal Medical Care provides
healthcare facilities to patients and also coordinates the treatment of patients. Patients of CoVID-
19 are specially looked after and are kept separate from other patients. However, patients
suffering from other major diseases are also treated with special attention. Monitoring the staff
for proper working and ensuring the care of patients is also the responsibility of a health policy
vital component so that patients don't face any problems due to lack of medical equipment
