Medicine within social organizations Policy-making challenges Analysis of micro and macro models 4 MICRO AND MACRO MODELS The political process In the most fundamental way, health policy making is a political process. Most policy making usually involves governmental and NGOs and individuals. Micro and macro frameworks Analogous to economics Health policy making can be usefully described using both micro and macro framework, just like in economics. 5 MICRO POLICY MAKING Characteristics of the policy marketplace model         ⚫ Assumption Marketplace assumes that individuals and groups are constantly interacting to satisfy their needs Policy actors All policy actors are both suppliers and demanders because they must exchange some commodity in the marketplace to purchase the other goods that they want. Disparities in power Just like in economics, individuals and groups that can supply more can demand more in exchange. Currency used The currency used in exchanges can be money, but it can include superior leadership, more effective organization, access to and greater articulation through communications media and greater group member willingness to exert great efforts in order to advance the interests of the group. Impact of governmental regulation To gain control over their relevant areas of the marketplace, NGOs will attempt to forge enduring alliances with governmental agencies. 6 Macro Policy Making - The policy systems model Complexity Interrelatedness Cyclical processes 7 MACRO POLICY MAKING – THE POLICY SYSTEMS MODEL Longest’s model of health policy development Recognition of inputs Policy formation Policy outputs Implementation Outcomes Feedback & subsequent modifications 8 CONVERGENCE OF PROBLEMS AND RESPONSES 9 Cost containment Access to care Disadvantaged subpopulations Informal payments (bribes; corruption) Political instability Impact of new technologies Cost and complexity Balance between old and new Economic and ethical conflict CONVERGENCE OF PROBLEMS AND RESPONSES Quality of care considerations Technologic complexity Enable the aggregation of data New information technology Measuring health outcomes Potential benefit of health IT Consensus about existing problems US system expensive, wasteful, unsustainable 10 CONVERGENCE OF PROBLEMS AND RESPONSES Sustainability Growing financial stress on public and private sectors Achieving sustainability Quest for common ground Digital backbone Incentive realignment Quality and safety standardization Resource deployment Innovation Adaptability 11 NATURE OF TRADEOFFS, IDEOLOGY, AND ETHICS Tradeoffs Source Importance Economic efficiency and political equity Prioritizing efficiency and equity 12 NATURE OF TRADEOFFS, IDEOLOGY, AND ETHICS Tradeoffs Political obstacles Expectations of the populace Ethical and ideological disagreements Social experimentation without public consultation Undeveloped “rule of law” 13 NATURE OF TRADEOFFS, IDEOLOGY, AND ETHICS 14 Tradeoffs Components of justice Justice has both individual and social component. Ethical health policy making implies an acceptance of individual autonomy In health policy making, the social component is reflected primarily in the debate over distributive justice or the fairness in the distribution of health benefits and burden in society. Egalitarian view of justice where equal access to health services for all citizens, regardless of income or class is of central importance. Libertarian perspective There is also a libertarian perspective of fairness that would argue against Egalitarianism.

    Making health policy is a difficult and dynamic political proces
s that encompasses many different parties, interests, and viewpoints. The first step in the process is to identify a health problem or need, after which several policy choices are developed to address the issue. Stakeholders, such as government organizations, advocacy groups, healthcare providers, and the general public, who each bring their own political and ideological viewpoints to the table, then discuss and The political process of health policy making is influenced by a number of factors, including negotiate these policy possibilities.
There are several aspects that affect the political process of developing health policy, including:
· Ideology: Political ideology plays a significant role in shaping health policy. For example, those on the political left may advocate for a larger role for the government in healthcare, while those on the political right may prefer a more market-based approach.
· Interest groups: Interest groups, such as advocacy organizations and professional associations, play an important role in influencing health policy. They may lobby for specific policies or regulations, or against policies that they perceive as harmful to their interests (García, 2019).
· Power dynamics: The distribution of political power can also affect health policy making. For example, the political party in power may prioritize certain health issues over others, or may be more open to certain policy options than others may.
