Question

What are the World Health Organization’s (WHO) 10 uses of Healthcare Law? Explain how you would apply one of the uses as a health care manager or provider.

Answer 1

answer-

WHO is concerned with health of people so they formed healthcare laws to promote the health of individuals and populations.

Healthcare laws provided by WHO are-

• advance important health policy goals such as Universal health coverage;
• establish the basis for organizing, governing and financing a country’s health system;
• protect the public and social nature of healthcare;
• protect public health from communicable diseases or other public health risks;
• regulate the operation of hospitals, clinics or other health services;
• control the training and practice standards of health workers;
• regulate the safety and efficacy of medicines and medical devices;
• protect patient rights;
• address non-communicable disease risk factors (e.g. smoking); and
• regulate the collection and use of health information.

As Healthcare manager, it is my duty that management of healthcare organization occur with effectiveness and efficiency. in this i would focus on providing quality care to patients and reduce cost of business. The 10th use will help me to do that.

The use called " regulate the collection and use of health information." will help me to make sure that patient's information is right, safe and sound in my organization. for this I would implement EHR in my healthcare organization where information of patients will be collected electronically and saved in our database with security so that only authorized person can have access to that.

As health care manager i will focus on complying HIPPA privacy laws where information of patient will be kept private and have access to family who patient give consent too and authorized person. any staff violating this will face disciplinary and legal actions.

As manager i will implement health information management system short name HIM in my organization which would help me and staff of the organization to acquire, analyze and protect digital and traditional medical information vital to providing quality patient care.
