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.

Responsiveness

Responsiveness in healthcare affects optimal management, psychological safety, physical safety, customer service and quality. Responsiveness is often dropped, or not followed through, or placed as a one-time play. When considering others’ places and spaces, healthcare must anticipate that the gaps left by “no reply” get filled in. One way or another, a lack of response gets substituted. Often, misinformation gets deputized. As healthcare becomes increasingly interested in “infodemics” [1] and misinformation, healthcare must first take responsibility and ownership of responsiveness. In others places and spaces, and in healthcare’s own, there must be ownership of: How often concerns are raised to the organization, and to global health, by experts in medical fields? In other fields? How often concerns are raised by general members of the public? The types of concerns raised Potential algorithms or classifications, so that critical reviews can occur in a...

Experts and Regulation

For all the global health coordination, and all the international research collaboration, there is no movement toward scope of practice, labor regulation, prescribing regulation or biotechnological responsibility standardization. We should encourage measured progress toward accountability in medicine regulation, and we should do so with countries at the table. What are the medical professions, credentials, approved education and scope of practice in healthcare, per country? What are the community healthcare worker (CHW) roles if allowed, per country? What would countries like to see adjusted or mirrored? Which procedures are allowed for each healthcare profession? What are the rationales, inclusive of supply and demand and access issues? What are the differences in approvals and guidelines for medicine safety, and for who can prescribe what? What is the healthcare political climate in various countries and how does this affect decision making? What analytic...

Energy in healthcare, welcomed in

To assure adequate energy and electricity for healthcare worldwide, those assisting first need to be welcomed in. To assure energy reduction and efficiency in healthcare, those involved must feel welcomed at the table. Here are a few ways we can ask for a welcome, as well as welcome others in: *Structure international and national authorities to healthcare energy assurance. Assess for gaps at the table, including when partnerships develop for global assessments. [1} *Structure the assessments of energy in healthcare. How is adequacy measured? How does a community define if they have enough energy and how are the definitions of quality of care mismatched? *Assess current response. How are philanthropic and nonprofit partnerships defining, assessing and responding to lack of energy in healthcare [2,3,4,5]? Where are the disconnects and mismatches? *Assess for understanding of medical equipment and use within evidence-based guidelines. Where are these facilities in adopt...
