Set of slide decks for the UDHC related presentation at the University of Canterbury Tertiary Engagement Summit where the purpose of discussion is to share ideas how students and trainees in tertiary education can engage with the community to bring about real world change. I chose to focus on UDHC and the excellent work the project has brought about.
4. How Do We Use this to solve a Major
Problem?
• Access to Evidence Based Health Information is a
Major Challenge to Millions of People in the
World
• Patients are Not Where the Experts Are
• Patients Have a Set of Information, Providers
Have Another, Need for an Interface
• Challenge for future trainees and practitioners of
Medicine
• Solve Health Care Access for people in
Developing Countries (South Asia for instance
with 1.4 Billion People)
5. Health Services Is A World of Triads
Cost of Care
Access to Care Quality of Care
The Holy Grail: Highly Affordable Care to both payers and patients (as low as can
be), universal access to healthcare, and highest possible quality of care.
Usual: Pick Any Two!
7. In UDHC, You are a User
• Providers
– Health Professionals
• Payers
– You, in a fee for service system
– If you are an insurer or represent Insurance Sector
• Patient
– Seek Health Information
– Connect and Interact
• Healthcare Professionals, Patients, Anyone with a
username on WWW
• U Drive the System!
8. How Information is Channelled
Sender Shares Primary Information (Starts) to the “list”
Multiple Members of the List Comment, Discuss, and
Modify Information
Information is Embellished with Evidence Based
Approach to Critically Appraise Relevant Health Related
Information and a Response Prepared
This is an example of Conversational Learning in a Health Professional Education
Setting
12. Can We Create a Platform to Bring Students, Experts,
Patients All on the Same Board? (Literally!)
So, People got together to create a platform and a Human Driven Operating System to
Channel Evidence Based Health Information that Could Solve Tough Challenges … Students
were the Key
15. Scope of Trying it in New Zealand?
Apply in Connection with Telehealth, or Other Situations such as in the West Coast where
people live in difficult to reach terrains … elderly who cannot commute long distances to
reach Primary Care … Telehealth …

Notes de l'éditeur
The purpose of this presentation is to showcase a model of student engagement with community in the setting of professional education -- that of training of medical doctors both at the stage of studentship as well as during their post graduation years. The model is based on interactive collaboration between the patients and the providers and is labelled as "User Driven Health Care". In this setup, patients in the community share their stories, symptoms, and their primary caregivers in the community describe clinical signs, and where possible digitized radiographs, and other detailed results of investigations. These are then conveyed to the the students in medical schools or professionals in training. The students process these narratives and documents and translate them to make sense more technically, and a worldwide community of physicians/surgeons/health professionals respond to those questions and provide advice/support. Together these provide essential lessons for the students and provide excellent resources for review, at the same time benefit the community and enable sharing of high quality medical information among providers and patients. The processes and set up of this system will be described and discussed in this presentation.
