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.

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...

Thankfully Sharing

Appreciation for international peers shows up with more than words. Perhaps we extend a cultural competence partnership. Perhaps we share business. For some of us, collective advocacy for a collective healthier public messages this gratitude.  Though it feels good to work alongside one another, it should also feel good to rest alongside one another.  And today, restful and productive, I share words in my space.   This is my space, and I am thankful for you here.  Because you share your countries and worlds and space with me, I thank you.  Happy Thanksgiving, friends all over the world.

Removing paternalism in pandemic declarations: respect with place and space

  The world has a sophisticated infectious disease, epidemiological and technological intersection. Multiple funding sources remove the risk of total epidemiological collapse. And, the epidemiological reporting mechanisms are familiar to one another worldwide.  There is enough structure to advance emergencies in infectious disease beyond medicine’s paternalistic culture. While the remainder of paternalism in medicine will take collaborative, significant energy to transform, we are fortunate that infectious disease emergencies are already energized.  Medicine’s inability to learn from the H1N1 geopolitical disagreements around definitions of outbreak, epidemic and pandemic spilled over into full failure of the COVID pandemic call. Delayed infectious disease definitions matter. From the start, failure in identification diminished confidence in medical science.  We should set a confident tone and better trajectory for future infectious disease emergencies, and remove th...
