Capacity Building
For a Health System to work in sync without fragments, strong infrastructures are needed. Health system infrastructures are divided into domains of service delivery, workforce, information systems, access to medicine & equipment, financing, and leadership/governance. I have come up with another one: country's history & trajectory. Strengthening the current US infrastructures requires active engagement from various stakeholders. Individuals, communities, and organizations have power and strength that need to be tapped in order to better the US Public Health System that is supportive to not only consumers but also the workforce and generate profits for sustainability and expansion. Sessions of capacity building I facilitate could be customized depending on the organizational needs. Capacity building of my expertise is in the domains of leadership/governance, country's history & trajectory, workforce, and service delivery.
Leadership or Governance
In a democratic nation, administrators are not the only ones who determine the direction of the health of a nation. Grassroots and community members hold the influence and power. Stakeholder engagement is needed to ensure the system responds adequately to the US public health needs.
Workforce
Like other developed nations, the US is facing challenge in meeting demands and ways to create a sustainable system. Ensuring the system is centering the people who do and will do the work and prioritize their well-being is an indicator of a robust health system.
Service Delivery
Delivering services that honor a whole-person and based on outcomes instead of capitation require not only innovation but also evidence-based and implementation of bioethics.
Country's History
& Trajectory
Similar to an individual's health, a country's health system is also influenced by its past, present, and future. Stakeholders willingness to collaborate addressing systemic biases (e.g., racism, classism, and medical paternalism) will directly impact health outcomes.
