Your health
A well-functioning health system reacts in an unbiased way to a population’s needs and desires through five ways. First, it enhances the health status of people, their families and the community as a whole. Second, it safeguards the population against the things that negatively affect their health. Third, it secures individuals against the extra costs that come with hospital bills due to poor health. Fourth, it ensures that all patients have the access to people-centered care. Fifth, it provides an opportunity for individuals to take an interest in choices influencing their well-being and health system (Tucker et al., 2014).
A well-performing workforce is one that fully understands and can provide any requirements that individuals may have. It is also fair and can efficiently meet the optimum outcomes, considering the available resources and present situation (Tucker et al., 2014). For the health workforce that met the population needs to grow, the following are needed: One, it needs arrangements for obtaining an adequate quantity of employees featuring the right blend in terms of numbers, diversity, and even their varying competencies. Two, it needs regulatory guidelines to guarantee a system-wide employee deployment and distribution as per the population’s needs. Three, it needs an establishment of occupation related standards, organization of supportive networks and empowerment options. Lastly, it requires mechanisms to guarantee collaboration of all partners such as the health worker advisory groups, donor coordination groups, private sector, professional associations, and many others.
These requirements are reflected in an assessment of the population-based needs, which control the process of service planning and information management, as well as the increased need to redesign internal procedures so as to enhance patient health outcomes (Tucker et al., 2014). Services showcase the sensitivity of markets, as well as the responsiveness to the constantly adapting population needs, thus ensuring that patients are given the right care, at the right place and time.
