Here's how you can enhance cost-effective healthcare delivery through strategic thinking.

Promoting citizen education strategies in prevention and healtcare has proven to be a great strategy to improve the quality of life and reduce health requirements, although it requires specific policies to take it on a large scale. Specific disclosure about the prevention of certain pathologies or early control are also valid strategies when they require simple action on the part of the citizen and have an impact on promotions through mass media, for example. These strategies are of great relevance since as a whole they represent an advantage in health promotion and cost savings in future processes.

As someone from Africa, I see that while healthcare is affordable compared to other regions, many still struggle with costs and access. To create a cost-effective system, governments must invest in well-trained physicians and IT specialists. In today's digital age, tech-savvy healthcare centers are essential. Implementing electronic health records can streamline information sharing and enhance coordination. Telemedicine can provide access to remote areas, and data analytics can monitor performance and predict outcomes. Embracing technology improves efficiency, care quality, and access, making healthcare more affordable and accessible to all.

Technology is a fundamental piece both for the development and medical care and to facilitate the patient's access to health systems through more direct specific platforms such as telehealth systems. The integration of AI in the operation of health services helps to reduce times, decrease costs and in many cases reduce errors. The integration of all this technology plays an important role in the global development of health improvements.

Preventive medicine is one of the most important pillars to reduce healthcare budget at a national level. While the technical term is called preventive medicine, most people may not relate directly to that term. Instead, when we can bring patients into the future, they might be able to motivate themselves to change paths if they do not like where their health seems to be trending.

Strategic thinking often involve several layers. It's like playing the game of chess where it will benefit you to see several steps ahead and see beyond the next 3 steps. Those aspiring to more senior positions would do well to learn how to think more broadly and strategically. A persons maturity or lack of it will be evident by the ideas and comments shared at meetings.
