内容简介：
受全球新冠疫情的影响，过去的两年我们已经提高了健康和卫生保健的认识。尽管疫情提高了公众的健康意识，但对卫生服务的需求却日益增加，甚至在疫情之前卫生保健系统已倍感压力。鉴于全球人口变化和生活方式变化所导致的非传染性疾病增加，对有效的卫生保健系统和服务的需求已达到饱和。这些因素正在影响公众健康，并迫切地需要获得更多有质量的保健服务。综合考虑这些因素时，我们发现增加卫生专业人员的数量迫在眉睫，并需要重新思考我们的卫生保健生态系统。本讲座，我们将探讨一些在卫生保健管理方面的新主题，比如人口健康管理的系统思维和更多的预防性卫生保健，而不是主要关注治疗的医疗保健系统。
Over the past few years, with the Covid-19 pandemic, we have heightened awareness concerning health and healthcare. Although the pandemic has increased public awareness of health, we have been witnessing an increase in demand for healthcare services that have strained our healthcare systems even before the pandemic. The need for effective healthcare systems and services could not be greater given global demographic changes and lifestyle changes leading to increases in non-communicable diseases. These factors are impacting health and creating a pressing need for more access to quality care. When we take all these factors together, we see an urgent need to increase the number of health professionals and the need to rethink our healthcare eco-systems. In this lecture, we will explore some of the emerging themes in terms of healthcare management, such as systems thinking for population health management and more preventive healthcare rather than healthcare systems mainly focused on treatment.
