Digital Health and Innovation Cluster Bulgaria’s Post

We are delighted to share that our research, “A scoping review of health systems resilience assessment frameworks” has been published in PLOS Global Public Health Journal, a journal dedicated to advancing global health equity by publishing open-access research that addresses critical issues such as health systems resilience, infectious diseases, and public health preparedness, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. The study has been co-authored by ACCESS Health members Sushma Marita Dsouza Dr.Shrikant Kalaskar MEHNAZ KABEER Latika Rewaria Dr. N. Krishna Reddy Maulik Chokshi and former members Anuradha Katyal and Sreemeena Satyanarayana. The HSRA tool, developed by the GLC4HSR Secretariat - ACCESS Health International - is designed to provide a structured framework to assess health systems' resilience across different contexts and regions. It integrates key components like governance, financing, human resources, and service delivery, aiming to help policymakers and healthcare providers identify gaps and optimize responses during crises. This tool has been designed as a step towards building stronger, more adaptable health systems worldwide. #HealthSystemsResilience #PublicHealthResearch #HealthEquity #GlobalHealth #HealthSystems

Addressing non-medical drivers of health (NMDOH) is crucial to improving health outcomes and containing health care costs. A brief by Jacquie Klotz, Charles Mathias, Ph.D., and Elena Marks reports findings from policy crowdsourcing workshops. Researchers, practitioners, and policymakers joined the Texas NMDOH Consortium to collaborate on identifying NMDOH policy opportunities in Texas. In the Fall of 2024, the Texas NMDOH Consortium will publish policy recommendations to elaborate on opportunities to advance the integration of non-medical interventions into the health care system.

The NEED team from KCE - Federaal Kenniscentrum voor de Gezondheidszorg - Centre Fédéral d'Expertise des Soins de Santé and Sciensano is calling on you to identify these unmet health-related needs so that healthcare systems can respond better to these situations. 📅 Take part in the call for proposals before 21/03 👇 https://lnkd.in/euYYcQuv

In June 2024, the Texas NMDOH Consortium hosted two policy generation workshops to gauge interest in NMDOH policy topics among our members. We sincerely thank our members for their active participation in these discussions, which underscored the need for NMDOH policy change. Discover the identified policy topics that present opportunities to accelerate the integration of non-medical services in healthcare delivery. #nmdoh #crowdsourcing #policy #texas

In the emerging field of digital public health, clearly defining interventions is key to advancing prevention and health promotion. The article by Julian Wienert and his team offers an innovative framework that combines WHO and NICE models, integrating a user-centered participatory approach. At LifeVit, we are aligned with this vision, developing technologies that not only monitor health continuously, but also promote active user participation to maximize their impact on public health. 🔗 Read the full article and find out more about how digitalization is transforming public health.

Ongoing Validation Workshop on Global Alignment with National Health Priorities. Engage in a compelling conversation about the critical need for alignment among Federal MDAs at both federal and state levels, as well as among State MDAs. Explore the significance of coordination between F/SMOH and the Ministry of Budget and Planning. According to Mr. Olympus Adebanjo’s research findings, there is a pressing need to rethink how global health initiatives operate, ensuring priorities are not discriminatory. He recommends strengthening the evidence base with community-level prioritization data and prioritizing vulnerable populations. World Health Organization PAI

The World Health Organization has released new guidance to help countries implement and scale up self-care interventions. This global guidance provides key considerations for adapting WHO's recommendations to local contexts, ensuring that self-care interventions are accessible and effective across diverse settings. By focusing on the economic conditions and existing health services, this guidance supports the integration of self-care into health systems worldwide. 🔍 Learn more about the full guidance and its implications for health systems: https://ow.ly/hNm350Trrxk

These past two days I've had the opportunity to learn about Inequity Measurement in Canadian Health Systems from a diverse range of industry experts. This workshop series put on by Institute for Better Health - Trillium Health Partners, allowed participants to: 1) Gain insight into methods being used or considered within other health systems 2) Share how equity data is collected, shared & used to address & reduce inequities 3) Discussed systematic integration of inequity measures to ensure equity is a key component of decision making & service design across health systems.
