Healthcare: Public Healths Most Influential Leader
Michael Dowling is one of the most influential public health leaders who have worked tirelessly to provide quality healthcare services for the common public. He is currently the president and chief executive officer (CEO) of Northwell Health, a nonprofit healthcare network in England.
His contribution to healthcare could be interpreted from the fact that he is named the third most influential person in healthcare (after Albert Bourla and Stephane Bancel), whereas his rank was second last year (the Olt, 2021). His name in the Modern Healthcare magazine for 100 most influential people of healthcare for the 15th consecutive year. He has been a key contributor to the development of Northwell. He helped develop 22 hospitals, 830 ambulatory services, and regular physician practices and generated $15 billion every year. He is engaged in continuous research and development to give updated medical services to the public. After 12 years of public service, he knows that overlooking health and education matters could be a great disadvantage.
Moreover, his other marked contributions include taking a stance against gun violence, racial disparity, immigration issues, and opioid outbreak (the Olt, 2021). He has written a book called Leading through a Pandemic: The inside story of humanity, innovation, and lessons learned during the Covid-19 crisis (the Olt, 2021). The value of this book is deemed high as it instructs how to combat the pandemic based on his several years of experience, education, expertise, and knowledge of crisis management of patient care in such circumstances.
In an article, Michael Dowling himself mentioned that leadership is all about trust and the facilitation of unity (Dowling, 2021). He states that he has to conduct almost daily virtual meetings for which people must feel connected, have high collaboration even with their online presence, and be ready to take action. He believes in giving coaching and direction to his followers and becoming a source of enlightenment for them (Aguilar, 2020). He does not support only giving orders or having tight control over the subordinates. Rather he views that organizing people in unison is...
…to combat the global pandemic. Dowling thinks that innovation could help save lives as it provides a source of coming together for humanity. I would be able to apply this suggestion in my practical life so that I am always ready to serve the common public by guiding my subordinates in the same direction proactively.Two approaches Dowling could have adopted to become a more effective leader are being flexible and persistent, asking for his own leaderships feedback, and giving feedback to the employees. Learning to be bending and rigid about ones targets would have helped him better portray his image as one of those leaders who does not let go of his direction and remains alert with unmoved resilience and some mixture of adaptability. The second approach is asking for others feedback about their leadership, as it would enable a sense of mutual trust. It would give his followers an idea that he respects their perspective about himself and wants to improve what others might not find acceptable. It would also bring them closer as he…

Healthcare Health Care Law Ethics Health care over the years has become one of the most important debates to take place within the United States of America. This fact holds particularly true for the major part of the Obama Administrations whose New Health Care policies has been criticized extremely (Zhi Qu, 2010). The world, however, is still waiting for the final curtain to rise and to witness the climax which would be
Healthcare Economics Overall Healthcare And Economics Healthcare economics: Current challenges from a nursing perspective Although the subject of healthcare economics has been hotly-debated, on one issue there is widespread agreement: the aging of the population will substantively increase the demand for healthcare in the near and far future. As the population worldwide is aging and living longer, the need for essential services over a longer lifespan will generate more costs for an already-beleaguered
Health Care As human beings, our health and longevity have never been better. Many people today live to 100 years and beyond, and often in good and active health. One of the major reasons for this is better health care and more access to health care for more people. On the other hand, however, many people do not have access to the same health care services as others. Often, the main
Public Health Betrayals A fascinating reality of public health is that when it is working, nothing is happening. People are healthy, they participate in their community's welfare, and they themselves are likely to want to be more engaged in the culture's economic and pleasurable activities. But the problem with a negative reality like this suggests Laurie Garrett in Betrayal of Trust, is that there is a tendency for governments of all
Health Care There are many things that have led to the renaissance of public health in the past 20 years. However, the most important ones include eradication of infectious diseases through vaccination, increased awareness, better hygiene control, better primary care facilities and more stress on epidemiology. It has been stated that humans have a right to public health (Principles of the Ethical Practice of Public Health, 2002) Keeping this in mind, public
"Potential barriers to resource sharing include institutional separation, ignorance of each field's history and unique challenges, constrained resources and different timelines" (Mamotte et al. 2009). Ultimately, I do not believe it matters if the research studies are exactly 'like Tuskegee.' A fundamental difference between the two is that the African population might not be treated with the full resources of Western medicine had they not participated in the trials, while
