Overview
The health system is a complex array for multiple countries and organizations that work together to improve the health quality and access of patients at a lower cost. The WHO provides guidance on a global scale for countries to align health goals. They do this through systematic review and dissemination of policies and procedures that trickle down to the national country levels.
The United States Health System is an example of one of the countries that aligns goals with the WHO. During the COVID-19 era, this was crucial to de-escalate the spread of the COVID virus. The US Health System took WHO’s guidance and implemented policies to ensure safe COVID practices. Consider one of these COVID policies and outline what an implementation strategy at a US based health system would look like.
