Health Network Collective (2)

How can we improve efficacy of an informally qualified community of testers and their structured inclusion in established systems through leveraging Emerging Disruptive Technologies (EDT) and associated technologies. Survey Available Here

Methodology: Our model for development is based on Te Whare Tapa Whā, chosen for the grounded and community approach to this problem.  A holistic model of health that describes health as a wharenui (meeting house) with the four walls representing taha wairua (spiritual wellbeing), taha hinengaro (mental and emotional wellbeing), taha tinana (physical wellbeing) and taha whānau (family and social wellbeing). The main research question was applied to these four components and 33 sub versions extrapolated for survey to reflect: EDT applications, formalisation & recognition of qualification; Rangatiratanga Raraunga (Data sovereignty); management of test by-products; religious, ethnic and cultural impacts; and long-term benefits. On analysis the questions have been grouped back into the 4 main sub questions for reporting.

Live analysis available at analysis

Taha wairua (spiritual wellbeing)

Through leveraging EDT and associated technologies, can we contribute to improving the spiritual wellbeing of kaiawhina / peers, wai ora, whanau and the respective relationships.

Taha hinengaro (mental & emotional wellbeing)

In enabling enduring relationships and continuity of care through treatment and beyond with leveraging EDT and associated technologies, can we contribute to improved mental and emotional wellbeing.

 

Taha tinana (physical wellbeing)

Will access from leveraging EDT and associated technologies for widespread testing improve long term outcomes, reduce primary and secondary care needs, realise financial benefits, and prolong life expectancies of HCV affected whai ora.

Taha whanau (family & social wellbeing)

Will leveraging EDT and associated technologies improve whanau, kaiawhina / peer and wai ora relationships, access to health, whanau-based health interventions and conversations around health & lifestyle.

Health Network Collective are undertaking a Masters (Technological Futures) Research Survey looking at how emerging technologies can support kaiawhina, peers and non-regulated workforce with community-based Hepatitis C (HCV) Point of Care Testing (POCT), linking to care, and navigating to possible cure through a supported systemized approach. The survey is available at survey, with live analysis available at analysis

The anonymized survey, based on Te Whare Tapa Whā modelling, is online and of 10-15 minutes duration. 

The survey consists of one main question, with four supporting questions, extrapolated to thirty three sub questions for the survey. The main question being; –

Point of Care Test (POCT) (2)

Our Health Network Collective R&D partner, HooperNewton.com, are developing an online micro-credential for Point of Care Testing (POCT), linking to care and navigating treatment to possible cure and beyond. This is designed for our Kaiawhina, peers and non-regulated workforce.

Designed from thematic analysis (click link for live view of survey analysis) of Masters level research and survey (click survey link for survey) the 50 hour course of 6 sections and 42 lessons includes medical ethics, social responsibilities, personal safety, patient rights, basic hygiene, procedures and more. Our thematic analysis suggested that non-regulated work force, and many kaiawhina and peers, had limited awareness of such subjects in sufficient detail. In the interest of  our communities, and the individuals and organisations Health Network Collective intends to engage with and enable: we decided a more comprehensive approach to training would benefit all and assist in meeting legal, ethical and moral requirements globally. Health Network Collective is in the process to gain New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) equivalency endorsement for this micro-credential.
