When it comes to making decisions in your healthcare, my guest, Dr. Minas Chrysopoulo and I present the first in a series on the topic of shared decision-making this year on the DiepCJourney podcast.
Toliman Health was founded by Dr. Minas Chrysopoulo, an internationally recognized expert in breast cancer reconstruction and shared decision-making. Dr. Chrysopoulo is the creator of Toliman’s flagship app, Breast Advocate®
As co-leads of the WHIS Shared Decision-Making Expert Group our goal is to facilitate the adoption and practice of shared decision-making (SDM) throughout healthcare systems and across all medical disciplines.
The "why" of the informative approach to decisions in healthcare is multi-faceted. It encompasses the patient's preferences, values, support system, and expectations for outcomes.

Session description:
The current healthcare systems tend to be based predominantly on a sick-care model, the system is essentially one that waits until we have fallen ill. We face unprecedented challenges with global staff shortages predicted to be 18m by 2030 (BMJ). Healthcare costs have been rapidly rising over the past few decades. This unsustainable demand and increase in costs can be largely attributed to the growth in the human population along with a diverse population that results in higher incidence of chronic and multiple conditions. As well as this, a one-size-fits-all approach to health doesn’t work. Both consumer preferences for convenience and affordability are shifting, as well as demand for a more efficient, personalised delivery model is growing.
Additionally, Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has dramatically unveiled the health inequalities that exist in societies across the world, alongside the fragile state of the world’s health.

Background:
The current healthcare system is based predominantly on a sick-care model, the system is essentially one that waits until we have fallen ill. We face unprecedented challenges with staff shortages predicted to be 18m by 2030. Healthcare costs have been rapidly rising over the past few decades. This unsustainable demand and increase in costs can be largely attributed to the growth in the human population along with a diverse population that results in higher incidence of chronic and multiple conditions. As well as this, a one-size-fits-all approach to health doesn’t work. Both consumer preferences for convenience and affordability are shifting, as well as demand for a more efficient, personalised delivery model is growing.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has dramatically unveiled the fragile state of the world’s health, health workforce, political and social systems – the lack of emergency health crisis preparedness, siloed policy frameworks (focus on individual conditions and the lack of integration of health into the whole of societal activity and its impact on individual as well as community well-being and prosperity), and unclear communication (misguided rationale of policies, inconsistent interpretation of data). The net result has been fear and panic– about the disease, about risks and survival, about which rules to follow, and about economic security.
The opportunity exists to create a new model that creates value based on prevention, early intervention and using different types of resources that will enable people and communities to thrive and improve their health and wellbeing, support the existing health services, create new and meaningful jobs while supporting the implementation of the 17 sustainable development goals.

"Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has dramatically unveiled the fragile state of the world’s health, health workforce, political and social systems – the lack of emergency health crisis preparedness (under-resourced, weak leadership, strategic plans without clear lines of authority), siloed policy frameworks (focus on individual diseases and the lack of integration of health into the whole of societal activity and its impact on individual as well as community well-being and prosperity), and unclear communication (misguided rationale of policies, inconsistent interpretation of data).
The net result has been fear and panic– about the disease, about risks and survival, about which rules to follow, and about economic security. The panels will discuss the interdependencies among these domains and their emergent dynamics and emphasise the need for a robust distributed health system and for transparent and truthful communication as the basis for trust in the system. We will review the importance of systems thinking and complexity sciences to inform the physical and organizational- redesign of strong health systems urgently needed to respond to the current health and political crisis and over time to build healthy, resilient, and productive communities."
This discussion looks at the role of evidence based natural medicine.

COVID-19 shines a light on the critical role of health literacy, health communication and trust.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome. Since its detection in December 2019, risk to communities with continued widespread disease transmission depends on characteristics of the virus, including how well it spreads between people; the severity of resulting illness; and the medical or other measures available to control the impact of the virus (for example, vaccines or medications that can treat the illness) and the relative success of these. In the absence of vaccines or medications, non-pharmaceutical interventions were the most important response strategy based on community interventions such as person-to-person distancing, mask-wearing, isolation and good personal hygiene (hand-washing)-all of which have been demonstrated can reduce the impact of this seemingly unstoppable globally spreading natural disaster. Higher literacy levels can increase peoples' ability to take action to manage their healthcare and to promote trust between communities and providers. The development of health literacy is even more topical than ever to prepare individuals for situations that require rapid reaction.
