Going back to unit 4 the big developments in medicine: social determinants of health, patient-centred medicine, social accountability, evidence-based (values driven) medicine/politics/strategies. Social accountability + social determinants + evidence-based/value driven study/plan/act/reflect: health in all policies, we have to do more and better (intellectual empathy!) Is this your problem: the human tendency is to believe anything that comforts, and deny what discomforts, so that unpleasant truths are simply ignored , seek the truth or hide your head in the sand. It is up to you which direction you choose!! Going the extra mile: empathy/compassion in health care. Determinants of health and disease lecture 6 notes from live session: 40 seconds of compassion can have visible implications in compliance and efficacy of treatment. Upstream, midstream, and downstream definitions: examples of health-related actions, home visiting for families, partner for affordable housing, be socially inclusive, tb treatment, support smoking bans, collaborate for healthy schools, advocate for income supports.
