@ivanculum #MHST601 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.

#MHST601 #social media #health 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! wix.to/O8rDKpu?ref=2_…

@ivanculum #MHST601 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.

@ivanculum #MHST601 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.

@ivanculum #MHST601 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.

@ivanculum #MHST601 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.

@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.

@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.

Here is a "wow" factor for me today. Imagine! But....how do we increase accessibility? #MHST601 #futurehealth #digitalhealth youtu.be/PXPIu8LazqI
