Recently, the World Health Organization and the World Bank released the "Tracking Universal Health Coverage: 2023 Global Monitoring Report." Universal health coverage (UHC) is one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal, particularly concerning medical devices and assistive technologies due to high out-of-pocket (OOP) expenses. 🔍 The report provides a global overview of UHC. Notably, assistive devices, especially in Europe, have driven catastrophic health spending. Hearing devices, in particular, habitually have very low statutory reimbursement levels. 📈 The report offers additional evidence to continue to ask for more favourable reimbursement and accessibility conditions for hearing aids and implants; with a reduction of OOP contributing to the goal of improving UHC in Europe.

Health consumer decision-making is now more complex than ever. What once were straightforward paths to seeking care—visiting a doctor, receiving treatment, and healing—have evolved into intricate, intertwined journeys that can ultimately delay improved health outcomes. This requires a constant connection with the consumers so that the health system can help them navigate these complex paths more effectively and drive improved health outcomes. While one-size-fits-all solutions to create connections with consumers may seem like a good option, they are failing the stakeholders—consumers and the health system alike. Lack of consumer understanding, failure to support behavior change, and lack of personalization are some reasons why the existing solutions don't work. Can we do better?

Healthcare journeys begin long before stepping into the doctor's office. Understanding the unique challenges and influences patients face outside the office is vital in closing the gap in health disparities. By factoring in local data – from access to healthy food to transportation limitations – we gain a clearer picture of the "first mile" of healthcare: the daily struggles that impact health before people even seek care. https://hubs.la/Q02ggtkt0 #ThinkSpatially #healthequity #sdoh #healthcareinnovation
