The paper highlights the importance of patient-centered care, emphasizing the eight core principles and the need for accessible, continuous, and integrated healthcare. It proposes innovative solutions, including a remedial approach with SMART goals, integration of government and NHSC clinicians, and affordability of diagnostic costs to reduce healthcare disparities. The essay references several studies and surveys to support the effectiveness of NHSC programs and suggests the establishment of rural research centers to meet the demand for healthcare professionals, ultimately aiming to make healthcare services more accessible and affordable.

NHSC clinician avails care services to the underserved communities in both urban and rural
areas. In order to propose resolve the issues related to serving of underserved people, an
innovative solution is needed to meet the challenging problem especially when we have
limited resources. NHSC (National Health Service Corps) is a program, which can increase
the supply of doctors, which includes health professionals in unprivileged communities. Eight
principle of patient centred care have taken several stages while discussing provision of
healthcare (Topaz et al., 2019). It is important to satisfy the primary care, mental care, and
dental healthcare, which focuses on fostering positive service experience to the clinicians so
that it can promote long-term retention. While treating the patients, one must follow access to
care, continuity, and transition, including family and friends, emotional support, education,
information, physical support, respecting the preferences of patients, coordination, and
integration of care (Andersson, Otterholt, and Gråwe, 2017). For example- patient centred
care in doctor`s clinic with under patient centred care services where patient focus on
patient`s issues, which depends on the diagnosis. Patients create a personal relationship with
this model of following these eight principles in relation to doctors patient`s focused care
models. As an innovative model and programs, a remedial approach will have to actionable,
systematic, and bypassing corruption and then overcoming inefficiencies. It can be optimistic
project, which may go longer time to accomplish in consuming lot of resources. Remedial
approach will come up with a model of SMART goals, which will await for the solutions of
rural posting of health professionals and making it mandatory for doctors and skilled people
for decades (Carreras, Cook, and Kahn, 2019). The resources can be managed well with the
integration of government and NHSC clinicians, which includes Member of Parliament, and
national rural health mission with the low cost housing for the patients so that they can go
home only after being cured. The recent survey reveals that 1193 clinicians (72.4%) who

have completed NHSC loan repayment programs. Nearly 95 percent of the people have
achieved mission and overall satisfaction of work practise (Ortiz, 2018).
In order to serve the urban as well as rural areas, it is seen that as an innovative model, which
shall include the integration of NHSC clinicians and non-NHSC clinicians who can integrated
serve primary and mental care services. This can help them to create provisions in CHC to
treat mental health and minimise the gap between these two service gaps. To reduce the gap
between the Healthcare services to urban as well as rural areas, which finally focus on
affordability of diagnostic costs. To propel the indigenous services to the population in form
of drugs, surgical, and other biomedical knowledge provided to all areas so that regular
check-up initiative can be undertaken to undertake and establish rural research centre to fulfil
the demand of professionals at healthcare with cost effective manner and finally make
healthcare services affordable (Ortiz, 2018).
