Hodges' model? Simple: it's a rich, complicated, complex picture

In wider reading (relations, maths... and) drafting a post concerned with 'universal construction' I came across:

Rasanathan, K., Montesinos, E. V., Matheson, D., Etienne, C., & Evans, T. (2011). Primary health care and the social determinants of health: essential and complementary approaches for reducing inequities in health. Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health (1979-), 65(8), 656–660. http://www.jstor.org/stable/23050931

Figure 2 stood out for rather obvious reasons:

individual

|

INTERPERSONAL : SCIENCES

humanistic ------------------------------- mechanistic

SOCIOLOGY : POLITICAL

|

group

Figure 2 'works' and not merely because it is clearly 'all political', but I would have swapped 'leadership reforms' with 'service delivery forms'. Trying to emphasize leadership at the individual level empowered to actually effect change. This could quickly change as per the situation. I also appreciate the jigsaw graphic.

You soon appreciate the complex nature of health care:

Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, Quaternary care and prevention. Add social care, welfare, all the fields of medicine, surgery, nursing, education, policy, information, literacies, human rights, consent, mental capacity, mental health law, forensic psychiatry, self-care, local, national and global health, urban, rural, remote, virtual environments, ethics, developed and developing nations, ecosystems and funding.

And this just scratches the surface ...

At Medical Aid Films, we are asking ourselves how we can respond to the scaling up of innovative digital information and communication technologies whilst continuing to place our primary audiences at the centre of our work – ‘ensuring people-centred systems that are enabled by digital health[i]’, one of the objectives of the WHO Digital Health Strategy 2020 – 2025. It is important to us that any digital strategy reflects the needs and aspirations of the healthcare professionals we serve. We invite any healthcare professional to complete our 2024 online annual survey to help inform forthcoming digital initiatives. Your insights will provide us with a comprehensive understanding of what matters most around training and health education and how we can best serve your needs.

WHO - IntegratedCare4People web platform

Dear All,

During the Sixty-ninth World Health Assembly, WHO Member States officially discussed the Framework on integrated people-centred health services and its draft resolution.

http://apps.who.int/gb/ebwha/pdf_files/WHA69/A69_39-en.pdf 

During a high-level side event at the Assembly, on Friday 27 May 2016, WHO and its Collaborating Centre, the Andalusian School for Public Health, officially launched the IntegratedCare4People web platform. http://www.integratedcare4people.org/

This platform brings together knowledge, information and a global network of people and organizations working towards the goal of integrated people-centred health services for all. Information is organized in a repository of resources, communities of practice and a practices database where technical insights and the operational know-how of health service delivery transformations are shared. The web platform for IntegratedCare4People is a collaborative platform and you are all very welcome to share your resources, your practices and to participate in the communities of practice.

We look forward to collaborating in building a truly global virtual network for change towards integrated people-centred health services.

All my best regards.
