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...

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...
