Collaboration

-

A leadership presence at the table means little without mutual respect and a consistent, reliable, collaborative presence. 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.


*Evaluate world health organization (WHO) and other agency credibility, respect and influence. Evaluate this by peer organization, inter-industry organization and by country. 


*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.  


*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.  



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.

Personal Protective Equipment

-
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is a routine in healthcare. However, the norms and standards vary from organization to organization, fracturing the opportunities that accompany routine. Supply type, brand, processes, costs, scientific review with product approvals, labor regulatory oversight, HCW application and attention to infection prevention with PPE use all vary widely across institutions, states and countries. This variance is unfortunate, given that the pathogen does not change character simply because it is in a different building or geographical territory. We have an opportunity to improve the short term and long term approach to PPE worldwide. We can best structure this opportunity by observing quantity and quality.  The short term quantity and quality of PPE should focus on guidelines, norms and immediate need. The short term should be directed with global effort.   The long term quantity and quality of PPE should observe innovative and transformative approaches...

Vaccination

Vaccination is our best bet for relief from the pandemic crisis.  Quality - The quality of vaccination could be strengthened with international coordination of real time analysis: percentage of vaccinated who test positive, percentage of vaccinated positives with symptoms, comparison by travel and border, comparison by product. -  T he quality of vaccination could be strengthened by global consensus to definition of breakthrough. -  T he quality of vaccination could be strengthened by additional dosing and timing of dosing data.  - T he quality of vaccination could measure success by primary variant in circulation.  - The quality of vaccination could be strengthened by ongoing open data with SARS research. Quantity  - The quantity of people served by public health could be strengthened with a real time map, a basic visual, for philanthropic and governmental reference. Where is the product, how much is still needed, and what is the trajectory for the country...

The Right Direction

-
  Roads Transportation barriers, and alternatives to transportation in healthcare, remain opaque in delivery focus. Given the sophistication in global citizenry and global policy, as well as the sophistication of climate science evolution, oversight for transportation in healthcare can be improved. Healthcare transportation oversight should focus on improvement to both quantity and quality.   Quantity *Collaborate and clarify the impact of transportation on healthcare. How much healthcare is missed due to lack of transportation? Estimates of deferred visits due to transportation barriers are available as piecemeal [1,2]. Be specific for populations, too. Global health data may isolate specific case studies. United States or other high-income countries may research healthcare transportation as a social determinant of care [3], without specifics on cost, cost savings, or the barrier’s impact on healthcare. It would be best to have ongoing, reliable data on health burden and impa...
