Access to comprehensive quality health care services is important for promoting and maintaining health, preventing and managing disease, reducing unnecessary disability and premature death and achieving health equity for all citizens. The health care system has three major components, which are; insurance coverage, health services and timeliness of care. When considering access to health care, it is important to include oral health care and obtaining necessary prescription drugs. Access to health means timely use of personal health services to achieve the best health outcome. Tehy Care Group is geographically accessible to ensure access to healthcare; it is located in a location where people who require care home services can easily access them. It is also a healthcare provider which patients trust and communicate with any time they need to.
Access to health care impacts a patient’s overall physical, social and mental health status and quality of life. Health insurance coverage helps patients gain entry into the health care system. The lack of adequate coverage makes it difficult for people to get health care they need or burdens them with huge medical bills. Tehy Care Group gives their patients NHS Choices (National Health Services), which is a Government funded medical and healthcare service that everyone in the UK can use to pay the full cost of the service. Improving access to healthcare services depends in part on ensuring that people have a usual and ongoing source of care where citizens regularly receive care.
