Summary
This study introduces a system dynamics model to visualize the interconnected disciplines within the One Health concept. It clarifies internal feedback mechanisms for better interdisciplinary collaboration in addressing complex global health challenges.
Area of Science:
- * One Health
- * Systems Science
- * Interdisciplinary Studies
Background:
- * The One Health concept, while widely discussed, lacks a clear description of interdisciplinary relationships.
- * Understanding these connections is crucial for effectively addressing complex health issues that span human, animal, and environmental domains.
Purpose of the Study:
- * To identify and elucidate the internal feedback mechanisms within the One Health concept.
- * To develop a theoretical model illustrating the interactions between disciplines involved in One Health problem-solving.
Main Methods:
- * Conducted a systematic literature review using PubMed, Web of Knowledge, and ProQuest.
- * Utilized HistCite® to identify significant One Health articles.
- * Selected 19 articles from 2368 identified for detailed analysis of interdisciplinary relationships.
Main Results:
- * Developed a visually rich, theoretical model of One Health interdisciplinary interactions.
- * The model highlights complex problem descriptors and their engagement in One Health problem-solving.
- * Provides a conceptual framework for understanding the dynamics of One Health collaborations.
Conclusions:
- * The study provides a novel framework for describing interdisciplinary engagements in One Health.
- * The developed model offers insights into the feedback mechanisms essential for One Health initiatives.
- * This work facilitates future research and practical applications of the One Health approach.

Health is a condition of the body, mind, and spirit where an individual remains free from illness. Similarly, wellness is an active state, including living a lifestyle that promotes physical, mental, and emotional health. Physical health is critical for the overall well-being and can be affected by lifestyle, activity level, diet, and behavior. The highest attainable standard of health is a fundamental and universal human right. Consider Lisa, a fifteen-year-old born with congenital...

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.

The factors influencing the health-illness continuum can be internal or external and may or may not be under conscious control. They are related to the following eight human dimensions, and each dimension is interrelated to one other.

A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

01:14Pharmacodynamic Models: Link Model and Systems Pharmacodynamic Model

The link model is a fundamental pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK–PD) approach to account for delayed drug responses when the observed effect does not immediately correlate with the drug's plasma concentration peak. This delay is mathematically addressed by introducing an effect compartment concentration, Ce, which is kinetically linked to the plasma concentration, Cp, via a first-order rate constant, ke0. The linkage allows for a more accurate prediction of drug effects over time. A...

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...
