For Your Success
Welcome to Healthcare Policy and Development. Your success in this class will be determined by the level of understanding of the material provided and the questions you ask. There are no unimportant questions in this course, nor are there wrong positions, as long as you can support them with references. Some of the material presented in the course will be completely new; however, linking the concepts to real-world experience will enable you to digest the material quickly.
Your first assignment this week is to get to know the team of learners you will be working with by introducing yourself in the Introductions area of Module 1. Share your major, your location, your career aspirations, and any personal experience or knowledge that may relate to the course.
In this course, the Discussion Boards are an excellent way to share your observations and learn from the history and experience of others. This weeks discussion question asks you to research a global health policy you find needs to be improved, and discuss the issues you identify. Using the health policy triangle on page 24 of your textbook will help you describe the context, content, process, and actors involved in this policy. Be sure to support your statements with logic and argument, citing any sources referenced. Post your initial response early and check back often to continue the discussion. Be sure to respond to peer posts as well.
Make sure to read all of the required readings this week and complete the Check Your Understanding activity.
Please note that your instructor will be hosting the first required Live Session this week.
Learning Outcomes
- Analyze global health policy in terms of the goals, objectives, and means that create the framework for global and KSA health activities.
- Categorize the individuals, organizations, and their networks central to establishing and implementing Saudi Arabian health policy.
- Examine new global health partnerships and the actors that set global health priorities, policies, and implementation.
- Examine global health policy from the standpoint of multi-sectoral decision-making, partnerships, and dominance of market-based principles to form policy.
- Evaluate global health policy as characterized by the four Rs: reaction, repetition, results, and raising funds. Backward Forward
- Globalization and the Health Policy Triangle Health policy analysis is a growing field and includes policy actors that include individuals, institutions, organizations, research institutions, governments, and health workers that contribute to the development of health policy. If we look at the framework developed by Walt and Gilson in 1994, it helps us to understand and identify the issues when creating health policy, as well as understand how each of these factors plays a role in creating barriers and influence on the other areas. The health policy triangle helps us to organize the factors that we need to make strategic decisions about the policies we need to make.
- The United Nations (UN) has played a large part in international affairs after 1945. In 1925, Saudi Arabia established the first public health department. In 1950, the Ministry of Health (MOH) was established to address the many challenges faced by the Saudi healthcare system, positioning the MOH to respond to the healthcare needs of the Saudi population (Almalki, Fitzgerald, & Clark, 2011). In the early decades after the formation of the UN, the World Health Organization (WHO) was formed and represented member states; one of which was Saudi Arabia whose admission to the UN was in October 1945. At this point it is important to recognize that this was an inter-national endeavor rather than global. WHO took on the role of providing an arena for nations to influence international health policy making. In the late 1980s, the World Bank recognized that the WHO did not have the necessary resources to provide the guidance needed, so they stepped into the gap created by WHOs ineffective attempts at helping shape health policy. The World Bank was able to leverage resources and influence national policy-making in the healthcare and social sectors. They also influenced economic policies in low-income countries. The World Banks shaping of healthcare policy and delivery resulted in diminishing the provision of healthcare by the state, and an increased role of the of the private sector to provide healthcare services. This resulted in the charge for services that had been previously free from the government and was considered a market-based reform (World Bank, 1987).
- CDC global health leadership brings the worlds leading public health experts to a Guatemala cave, where rabid bats threaten human health. Elsewhere, CDC community workers keep a health watch over Kenyas poor; while in China, CDC scientists protect babies from a mysterious outbreak. These examples of CDC at work in the world help protect America and all from disease threats that respect no borders.Backward Forward The Policy Process in the Kingdom of Saudi ArabiaThe Vision 2030 sets the stage for creating healthcare policy. The Vision 2030 is built on three pillars:
- Pillar #1
- Pillar #2
- Pillar #3
- The first pillar is the vision that our status is the heart of the Arab and Islamic worlds. The second pillar is our determination to become a global investment powerhouse. The third pillar is transforming our unique strategic location into a global hub, connecting three continents, Asia, Europe, and Africa. Please review the National Transformation Plan (NTP) from the Vision 2030 by exploring these strategic objectives for healthcare to be overseen by the Ministry of Health (MOH).
- The Vision 2030 for the future of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has a governance model to achieve the Vision 2030 by defining roles and responsibilities.
- Level #1
- Level #2
- Level #3
- At the first level, directions will be defined and decisions made by the Council of Economic and Development Affairs, the Finance Committee, and the communication Team at the Council of Economic and Development Affairs. At level two, the development of strategies begins at the Strategy Committee, Strategic Management Office, and the Project Management Office at the Council of Economic and Development Affairs. The strategy committee will be responsible for proposing strategies that will be implemented to achieve Vision 2030. The Strategic Management Office will act as the executive branch that will study and analyze the methods needed to translate the Vision 2030 into action plans and implementation programs. The Strategic Management Office will also supervise and monitor the progress of these programs. The Project Management Office will be responsible for monitoring the projects and decisions of the council. The Ministry of Economy and Planning supports the stakeholders and government agencies involved in strategic and executive planning. The Delivery Unit will support the Council of Economic and Development Affairs to achieve Vision 2030 by assisting with the design, implementation, and achievement of the initiatives. The third level is implementation of the programs, projects, and initiatives. In preparation for understanding the needed projects to achieve Vision 2030, current research will help inform the areas of needed improvement in Saudi Arabia. Health data standards are low worldwide but in Saudi Arabia studies have been conducted in tertiary healthcare organizations to help develop data standards. By developing these standards for data, it is believed that the interoperability barriers within health information systems can be overcome. Other challenges to the delivery of healthcare is the emergence of Advance Practice Nursing (APN) as one strategy. According to the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS) nursing designations are determined by the level of education only and do not reflect job description titles, experience, roles or scopes of practice (Hibbert, et al., 2017, p. 73). The MOH will need to begin exploring the lack of legislation and regulation of APNs since they have existed in Saudi Arabia since the 1990s. Therefore, there is room for standardization and regulation of the nursing profession. This provides an opportunity for growth in this occupation and helps to satisfy the fifth strategic healthcare objective of increasing the skilled Saudi staff in the healthcare environment.Backward Forward Overcoming the Four Rs: Reaction, Repetition, Results, and Raising FundsPolicy-making is based upon who decides what, when, how, why, and who receives the benefit. The problems that must be overcome such as reaction, repetition, results, and raising funds are known as the four Rs. To overcome these problems strong leadership is needed that is able to articulate the short and long-term visions. There also must be a diversification of the funds needed to achieve the vision so that the dependence is not on only one funding stream. Funding must align with the strategic vision of the organization or government that is leading this change. The leadership strategy is to build strong coalitions within the global health community. Donors want to know where their money is going but they should not set the healthcare policy. You see that the plan for the Vision 2030 is to generate financial investment and yet remain autonomous in the decision-making of the healthcare policies to be implemented in the Kingdom. It is important to recognize the public health principles where there is a right to equal access to healthcare. Global health policy needs to be designed by the government along with public engagement and discussion as is deemed necessary. You can see that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is demonstrating this leadership with their Vision 2030 engagement strategy
