Allied Health professionals are also key to improving population health by increasing the years spent in good health. In turn, combining data, innovation, education, and transdisciplinary practice to make Healthcare better.

I'm excited to announce the publication of my latest paper as second co-author (#3 paper this year): "Conflict among experts in health recommendations and corresponding public trust in health experts." In this study, we delve into how conflicting health recommendations from experts impact public trust. Addressing this issue through consistent, clear, and transparent communication and emphasizing the physician-patient relationship is essential for maintaining public trust in health experts and ensuring the effective dissemination of health recommendations. A big thanks to the lead author “Dr Arch G Mainous” and co-authors for their invaluable contributions to this research. Together, we aim to enhance the effectiveness of health communication.

Today EACH joins the world in supporting the International Day of Care and Support 🌍🤝   We would like to celebrate this day by highlighting work planned by the European Parliament Subcommittee on Public Health (SANT). SANT is preparing an upcoming INI (own-initiative procedure) report, which will focus on the sustainability of healthcare systems and an EU health workforce crisis plan.   Additionally, the European Commission funded a survey that was recently launched by WHO/Europe. The survey deals with the mental health and well-being of healthcare professionals across EU Member States, Iceland and Norway. The main goal is to gather data to better understand the challenges doctors and nurses face in their work environments. Find out more about it here: https://lnkd.in/eGY464sV   The resilience of the health workforce is crucial in providing #cardiovascular care. We believe every person affected by #CVD deserves compassionate and comprehensive care that addresses their unique needs. 💖   EACH reaffirms its commitments to ensuring that health systems across Europe are equipped and supported to deliver quality care to every patient, now and in the future. We therefore welcome Commissioner-Designate Várhelyi's commitments to more resilient health systems in his answers to written questions by Committees. 🩺 👇 https://lnkd.in/eYjhmDww   #CVHealthForAll

Ranking 44th out of 50 in valuing health should serve as a clear call to prioritize public health above partisan agendas. From my perspective, there is a critical need for concerted efforts on three fronts before we can even start to address the priorities identified by this dashboard. Firstly, we need to invest in scholarships and robust financial support systems to cultivate the next generation of public health leaders in Ohio - I'd argue we also need to foster career paths that retain our skilled public health talent in Ohio. Secondly, sustainable funding for public health infrastructure, especially in underserved rural areas, is non-negotiable. The Dashboard reveals glaring gaps in healthcare spending and population health outcomes, particularly in regions with limited financial resources. Addressing these disparities requires increased and equitable distribution of resources (not just in Cuyahoga, Franklin, and Hamilton counties) and a commitment to bolstering infrastructure where it's much needed. Lastly, we have to work toward depoliticizing public health. I'll never forget the keynote that Dr. Lotetta Ross delivered at APHA in 2023. Dr. Ross aptly questioned in their keynote, "Why are so many people angry at us, for trying to save their lives"? We can do better, Ohio deserves better.

WHO CC for VBD and NTDs at James Cook University announced as a Commission on Lancet Commission on People Centred Care - a group of 34 multidisciplinary experts, competitively chosen from a global call, from around the world representing people with lived experiences, health care providers, policymakers, academic researchers, civil society organizers, and private sector leaders. Embarking on this important work to advance people-centered care globally, ensuring that health systems are designed and delivered for and with people, as we strive to achieve sustainable universal health coverage and health equity. https://lnkd.in/epv2UWNE

🚨 Healthcare IT: Time for Progress, Not Setbacks 🚨 As a Consultant in Rural Hospiral Medicine, I experience firsthand the frustration of dealing with inadequate IT systems. Every day, I lose at least 30-60 minutes to non-integrated software and printers that need constant reprogramming due to poor IT infrastructure. In a world where technology should be driving efficiency and supporting patient care, we’re often left fighting against systems that seem designed to slow us down. Ian Powell’s recent blog “Health System IT: 0 Steps Forward, Two Steps Back” perfectly captures the reality many of us face. We need to be investing in IT infrastructure, not cutting back. Our patients deserve better, and so do our healthcare professionals. It’s time for healthcare to move forward with technology, not take steps back. #HealthcareIT #RuralHealth #EfficiencyInHealthcare #InvestInHealth

🤝 Empowering People through Participatory Health Systems 🤝 The newly announced Lancet Global Health Commission on People-Centred Care for Universal Health Coverage is grounded in participatory principles, using community-engaged methods and shared governance models. 🌍 The Commission's approach begins with an open call for commissioner nominations, aiming to recruit a diverse, independent group of multidisciplinary experts, including: 👥 People with lived experience 🎓 Academic researchers 🏛️ Policymakers 👩⚕️ Health-care providers 🏢 Private sector actors 🤲 Civil society This shift towards transparency and shared decision-making is crucial in publications with global influence, like the Lancet, which can intentionally contribute to dismantling unequal power structures in global health. 💪 Over 2.5 years, the Commissioners will formulate research questions, synthesise evidence and conduct new research to inform policy and practice recommendations for operationalising people-centred care in diverse settings. 📊 Through this innovative and inclusive approach, the Commission aims to forge a new way of knowing and practicing health care in the post-Sustainable Development Goal era, using people-centred care as a guide to achieving Universal Health Coverage. 🎯 How do you think participatory approaches can help reorient health systems to be truly for and with the people they serve? 💡 #ParticipatoryHealthSystems #SharedDecisionMaking #CommunityEngagement #HealthForAll
