What is a Healthy Healthcare?
Healthy Healthcare emphasizing that any development or change in healthcare should not just benefit patients, or workers, or healthcare organisation. If a change can demonstrate benefits for all three it is more likely to be successful in both the short and long-term.
Healthy Healthcare is a systemic model and approach aimed at advancing scientific excellence and fostering sustainable solutions across healthcare systems through interdisciplinary collaboration.
The central tenet of HHC is applying an interdisciplinary and integrative focus on the complex and interdependent relationship between the three main pillars in healthcare:
- Worker health and wellbeing
- Organisational practice
- Quality of care
Applying Healthy Healthcare (HHC) in any change or development will generate evidence-based knowledge for a balanced management of healthy and resilient healthcare organizations founded in cost containment, worker wellbeing, and quality of care. This will enable healthcare managers to evaluate the results and continuously monitor the balanced effects of a solution on healthcare services. The solution can represents any change or idea from a new clinical trial, patient treatment, health technology, architectural design, work scheduling to retaining workforce and psychosocial working conditions.
This network seeks to reshape how healthcare knowledge is produced and how solutions are implemented in healthcare for long-term impact. The network aim to bridge the gap between practitioners and researchers by leveraging on existing projects, new research, and engaging interdisciplinary scholars, healthcare practitioners, managers, and policymakers.
We want to strengthen knowledge capacity by interdisciplinary projects that contributes to high quality, economically sustainable healthcare that simultaneously maintaining a healthy, efficient, and resilient workforce.
