Study Notes
Wealth Disparity and Global Health
- In 1996, 358 individuals held over one billion USD each, their combined wealth exceeding the income of the poorest 45% of the global population.
- This disparity creates disproportionate power, influencing healthcare systems globally.
- Healthcare systems are market-driven, aligned with World Bank priorities, exceeding WHO's health budget.
- The market dictates decisions in healthcare, even for billionaires aiming to address global needs.
Crisis and Change in Healthcare
- The author anticipates future crisis levels equal to those faced after World War II, stressing the importance of acknowledging the difference between natural and human laws.
- Primary care practice currently faces myriad challenges, including fragmented populations, unidentifiable symptoms, and differing goals between clinicians and patients.
- Current definitions of primary care are rooted in older models, lacking the passion and experience of contemporary practice experiences.
- Primary healthcare encompasses diverse roles, from clinical expertise to caregiving, witnessing, gatekeeping, team participation, and education.
Defining Primary Care: Evolution and Perspectives
- Primary care encompasses various settings beyond hospitals, including specialist consultations or alternative treatments
- Multidisciplinary teams, including doctors, nurses, dieticians, and other professionals, are characteristic of modern primary care.
- Primary care practices can be both reactive and proactive, addressing chronic illnesses, risk factors, preventative care, and screening.
- A primary care model should encompass the elation of positive patient relationships and the responsibility of managing care for many patients simultaneously including complex issues.
- Different approaches to treating patients in primary care are influenced by varied perspectives. These include various, and often diverse theoretical models like biological, emotional/psychological and social.
Academic Disciplines in Primary Care
- Anthropology, biomedicine, and epidemiology contribute insights to understanding healthcare from various, social, biological, and community perspectives.
- Varying theoretical models impact on approaches to primary care problems. These are linked to underlying academic disciplines.
Primary Care Models and Perspectives
- Various models exist for conceptualizing primary care problems. A 'care' model, contrasted with a 'cure' model, can place emphasis on relationships and experiences, in contrast to a rational scientific approach.
- Alternative treatment approaches exist, as demonstrated by the patient's experience of different treatments. This demonstrates the range of possible approaches to care.
- Primary care practitioners may choose between various models of diagnosis, treatment, as well as incorporating aspects of interpersonal relationship during consultations (the art of care) which may not have an obvious scientific basis.
