Q7/A7: Yes! It made me realize multiple levels of vulnerabilities health inequities, conspiracy beliefs & health, the chain of infection, how fast things can get done when a priority, the surge of telehealth & how being "social" is a basic need in the human experience.

Sharing my final blog post on the effects of social media on health.
While it has many benefits, it can also be harmful. If you need help, get it!

Q6/A6: Looking forward to see advances made in debilitating & life-limiting conditions such as organ failure, cures for diabetes, ALS or Alzheimers, or treatments for cancer. The wish list of treatments and cures goes on! And eliminating barriers in access for everyone.

Q5/A5: Roles change based on generation. Baby Boomers prefer roles liked with traditional medical models. Generation X & Millenniums, a more engaged role as they hit "mid-life" cisis. Gen Z, come with a lot of info. As HCWs, we have increased awareness of pt roles.

Q4/A4: There is a role of consumerism in health care; however, while recognizing its value, consumers will still be confined to limits of resource availability, testing, treating (etc) or other organizational factors. It should be a complimentary relationship.

Q3/A3: Barriers to future health trends: finding and sustaining human, technological and financial resources, trying to care beyond medical models, appreciation for collaborative health care teams, and needs being over and above than we can currently sustain.

[Maria Becker @MariaBeeRN]

@ivanculum #MHST601
Q2/A2: Ongoing unmet needs/trends include wait times for patients all around, stigmatism, racism, patients on a registry list waiting for a primary care provider, violence from patients against health care workers and we never seem to able to balance the budget.

[Maria Becker @MariaBeeRN]

@ivanculum #MHST601 #futurehealth
Q1/A1: Uptake in virtual care, especially since COVID, increased resources with MAiD, patient advanced care planning, focus on respectful work places, cultural sensitivity resources and more supports for mental health.
