[Consensus conferences in Israel--a collaborative model for national policy making]
Harefuah
|September 6, 2014
Summary
Developing national health policies requires consensus-building. A structured consensus conference model, adapted for real-time decision-making, facilitates policy implementation by involving stakeholders and experts.
Area of Science:
- Health policy and systems research
- Medical technology assessment
- Public health decision-making
Context:
- National policy development for controversial health issues is complex.
- Consensus conferences, originating in North America, are a global method for policy agreement.
- Adapting models is crucial due to diverse health systems and societal factors.
Purpose:
- To explore the structured consensus conference model for national health policy.
- To examine the adaptation of this model in Israel for real-time decision-making.
- To identify the advantages and disadvantages of consensus conferences in policy implementation.
Summary:
- Consensus conferences involve literature reviews, expert consultations, and public dialogue for technology assessment and policy.
- The classic model's complexity, length, and cost are disadvantages.
- An adapted Israeli model emphasizes professional reviews and stakeholder involvement for dynamic health systems.
Impact:
- Facilitates appropriate utilization of existing health technologies.
- Enhances alignment among stakeholders and public engagement.
- Enables national-level policy implementation through determined consensus.

01:29The Two-State Receptor Model
3.5K
The two-state receptor model explains a drug's interaction with receptors, such as G protein-coupled receptors and ligand-gated ion channels, to induce or inhibit a biological response. When no natural ligands are present, a receptor exists in an equilibrium of inactive (Ri) and active (Ra) conformations. The inactive form does not produce a response, while the active form generates a basal effect known as constitutive activity.

01:18Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II
2.1K
The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.

When in group settings, we are often influenced by the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors around us. Groupthink is another phenomenon of conformity where modification of the opinions of members in a group aligns with what they believe is the group consensus (Janis, 1972). In such situations, the group often takes action that individuals would not perform outside the group setting because groups make more extreme decisions than individuals do. Moreover, groupthink can hinder opposing trains of...
