Dashboards for Pandemics

 The World Health Organization Dashboard for COVID-19 related Recommendations is thoughtfully organized and committed to improvement. 

A thoughtful, committed response should reply with encouragement to listen to others, in their places and spaces. 

  1. How many agencies, communities or groups are the recommendations targeted to? How many agencies, communities or groups feel they need recommendations? 

  2. What is the compliance or adoption rate of the targeted agencies, communities or groups? What recommendation compliance and adoption did these agencies commit to? 

  3. What are the timeframes and points of progress by theme, by target group and by area of work? What timeframes were decided on with agencies, groups and government agreement?  

  4. What is the survey satisfaction and adoption of the proposed categories? What were the trends with write-in comments? 

  5. What are the points for reconvening to discuss rewording or restructuring a recommendation – low compliance or adoption, or non-movement of recommendation within a specific timeframe? What are the challenges, barriers and needs for those wanting to adopt recommendations yet unsuccessful with adoption so far? 

  6. Who is targeted in the “private sector”, and who are the primary communication liaisons? What has the private sector offered in terms of united liaisonship and recommendation implementation? 

  7. What are the specific activities and actions to be taken for recommendation movement? What activities do the agencies, communities and groups need and want? 

  8. Where is the category for “response” for recommendations, should a majority of the targeted groups decline the recommendation? What are the reasons or rationale for various responses? 

  9. What is the action once a recommendation has been bypassed or rejected? How do the agencies, communities and groups know what next step responsibilities are, and have they agreed to the next steps? 

  10. What was the peer review process for the attached publications? How can this be organized to the grid and dashboard? How much does peer review matter to these agencies, communities and groups?  

  11. What is the stakeholder process for recommendations that surpass pandemics, or recommendations that affect major industry on multiple health issues? A significant number of the recommendations on this dashboard apply to many health areas, and application of the recommendation should reach comprehensively into systems. How have stakeholders been tasked with leading at the recommendation table? 

A thoughtful, committed response should reply with encouragement to listen to others, in their places and spaces.

Mortality Data Accuracy Aligns With Hope

Mortality data accuracy is a cornerstone of pandemic management, and it is a cornerstone of any health issue. COVID data inaccuracy offers tremendous opportunity to improve healthcare epidemiology sustainably. And we can improve only when welcomed into one another's national space and place.   Mortality accuracy is challenging due to statistical logistics and geopolitics; it is also challenging due to sociocultural considerations.  We don't really know how each affects accuracy of the mortality data . We don't know the weight of each consideration because we haven't properly assessed them.   We have addressed some solutions for statistical logistics with COVID, such as improving real time data, use of EHR, use of cemetery and cremation data, use of excess death or other metrics, consistency to death definitions and strengthened regional epidemiology.  We have addressed few solutions for geopolitics related to COVID. Most solutions rely on normalizing the ex...

Oxygen

Keeping it simple for oxygen coordination is best accomplished when we're welcomed in.  It’s good to support global leadership in medical oxygen supply management for underserved communities and countries in need.  It’s great to support efforts that strengthen individual country leadership toward national strategies on medical oxygen supply management.   Both require some tread into a country’s vulnerabilities on medical needs.  Let’s tread meaningfully and in a way that assures a welcome back.  Detail the coordinating agencies or government departments responsible for medical oxygen supply receipt. Meet with health administrators.  Detail a country’s current policies, compare with a global review and detail opportunities for policies on oxygen management. Is medical oxygen supply and/or maintenance an ongoing regulatory component within a country? What would it take to sharpen regulatory efforts? Is medical oxygen supply a component to ongoing emergen...

The Right Direction

  Roads Transportation barriers, and alternatives to transportation in healthcare, remain poorly understood. Given the sophistication in global citizenry and global policy, as well as the sophistication of climate science evolution, oversight of transportation in healthcare can be improved. Healthcare transportation oversight should improve with regard to one another’s place and space.   *Ask countries how we can partner with transportation barrier epidemiology, with improved health outcomes as a shared ultimate goal. Emphasize the importance to transient, migrant or nomadic populations as well. *Be clear on finances and transportation with each geographical distinction. *Work toward cultural considerations, such preference for familiar or home care, or comfort and ease with community members or strangers. *Ask for population preference data in shared economy inclusion, and seek for data separate from a company’s self-report. *Ask countries to identify transportation burd...
