Collaboration

A leadership presence at the table means little without mutual respect and a consistent, reliable, collaborative presence in one another’s space. Healthcare leadership does require influential action, not just parental correspondence or command. 


As global health improves on leadership and collaboration in an increasingly small world, we can help balance global health work for maximum influence and leadership presence.


*List and detail international health agencies, by charitable organization and governing status. Detail the duplication, reach and leadership. Involve agencies together, through liaisons.


*Evaluate world health organization (WHO) and other agency credibility, respect and influence. Evaluate this by peer organization, interindustry organization and by country. Ask for survey creation and feedback assistance. Respect unbiased response. 


*Dedicate a strategic plan to extend global health into national health and partner agency collaboration. Create action with urgency, require commitment from global organizations and countries and set expectations for global health representation – even if just a listening support. Ask these countries, health ministers and health agencies what they need. Ask interindustry agencies to extend invitations and consider health in their committees or work. Practice active listening and take feedback back to WHO committees. Reduce paternalistic approach. 


*Show up. Be much, much more present and aligned in health and medicine by requiring global health and peers to be much, much more present at individual tables. Work with individual countries, commit to showing up and follow through.  


We can improve global health coordination, trust in medicine and preparation for future international health crises by prioritizing the interpersonal relationship between WHO, global health, individual countries and local communities. It is a privilege to improve interpersonal relationships, and we should be attentive to our good fortune.

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...

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...

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...
