It’s time to usher in a change in health care. This generation, who is growing up digital, will demand this type of service in the future. Similar to the retail and banking sectors, convenience and service are important – and technology will allow us to make medicine more service- oriented. However, we must make sure that we have medical-grade technology that is safe and secure, and we don’t compromise this for efficiency.

It is important to recognize that we are still very much in this together. Our experience in the U.S. is diverging rapidly from so much of what the rest of the world is continuing to endure. We have a responsibility, I think, a moral urgency to try to help alleviate suffering around the world. It also very much is in our own economic security and public health self-interest do so.

Paul Farmer, MD, PhD Kolokotrones University Professor and Chair, Department of Global Health and Social Medicine, Harvard Medical School; Co-Founder and Chief Strategist, Partners In Health If we had an equity focus from the outset of the pandemic and rolled it out across very diverse states and different administrative districts, we would likely have had less transmission and less death.
Walter Ricciardi, MD Full Professor in Hygiene, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Rome; President, Mission Board for Cancer of the European Commission; President, World Federation of Public Health Associations Communication is a substantial part of fighting the pandemic – we must learn from this for our future and do a better job of liaising and disseminating information.
David B. Nash, MD Founding Dean Emeritus and The Raymond C. and Doris N. Grandon Professor of Health Policy, Jefferson College of Population Health Public health considers the economic impact, as well as the quality, safety and efficiency, of the care delivered. Practicing prevention is critical – doing so allows us to go upstream and shut off the faucet instead of constantly mopping up the floor. This enables us to focus on what’s important so that we may be a bridge between health and health care services.
Registries are critical in providing real-world evidence for a more patient-centric care model. For example, at Sanford, we created a COVID-19 registry and an algorithm that told us who should receive the vaccine first and who, after a COVID-19 diagnosis, we needed to call within 24 hours to receive infusions of the monoclonal antibody therapies.
