Fong, H., & Harris, E. (2015). Technology, innovation and health equity.

In today’s current affairs technology has taken the centre stage which according to the evidence provided by the writer, the health sector throughout the world should adopt technology at a great extent. Innovative technology has enormous potential to improve human well-being. However, technological progress does not guarantee equitable health outcome. This can be greatly explained or it is attributed by the great disparities that exists among country in the world. To ensure equitable outcomes, the design and implementation of technology need to respect ethical principles. Coloma J, Harris E, (2012) laboratories technique such as reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction enzyme linked immunosorbent assay has been applied in resource-poor setting by adapting these technologies on site and strengthening local knowledge of the principles and limitation of each technique.

Related examples exits worldwide in the arena of information and communication technologies for health. Infectious diseases surveillance and laboratory and clinical management can be improved using low cost information systems but these depend on the available local human resource capacity. World Health Organization outlined its 13 list problems that it faces World Health Organization JOURNAL REPORT (2020), WHO admonishes that the onset of new pandemic that has threatened lives of millions is not a matter of it, but when they postulated that might come in the form of influenza, they also cautioned vector bone disease, this now shows now that the WHO faces a great challenge of preparing for even unseen pandemics.

Over the time there has been a challenge of shortage of human resource in the health sector globally. The public health workforce shortage is an issue that has long been in the forefront of the health industry. Though leaders are well of the need for more qualified practitioners in the coming years, the solutions have been coming very slow. A 2008 from the Schools of public health article forecast the need for additional 250000 new health workers in America by the year 2020. The same year, the centre for state and local government Excellence highlighted the workforce shortage, stating that many governments were facing vacancy rates up to 20 percent.

Several factors contribute to the shortage of healthcare human resource, they include the ever increasing population which calls for much care, increasing chronic diseases, limited capacity of education programs and also and also an aging healthcare workforce retiring many workers.

According to a 2017 press release from AAMCNEWS, the population of Americans aged 65 and older will have increased by 55 percent by 2030. In the world the situation is still the same, the human resource is still wanting starting from medical doctors to specialists to nurses, according to WHO the world will need additional 18 million health workers by the year 2030, primarily in a middle low income countries, there will be need for more recruitment for health workers to the levels of nurses since they will require 9 million nurses and mid wives. Along with partners, they are working countries to revitalize an investment in properly trained workers while paying those decent wages.

In the wake of many challenge challenges that the world health is facing it is the World Health Organization that bears the greatest responsibility to try and come up with very sound solutions. More resources should be channelled to WHO which in turn well be utilized intensively in many research. These research work will be aimed at trying to come up with cure, treatment and ways to easy diseases amongst world population. New technology holds many promises, but also carries risks. Astute use of information technology and can make health professionals more effective, healthcare more efficient and people more aware of risk and resources that can affect their health. Social media can get messages to people and beyond the reach of traditional means of communication. At the same time the demand for the newest and the best contributes to spiralling costs. For these reasons, the value of health technology cannot be judged in isolation from the health system in which it is used. Electronic medical records can improve quality of care, with adequate safeguard to ensure confidentiality. Scientific progress, ethical conduct and regulation have to go hand in hand. In the future of healthcare industry the fundamental challenge is to harness innovation, in both the public and the private sector. Doing so involves using incentives and stewardship of resources in ways that ensure technology development is an ethical servant.

The authors present an insightful and accommodating exposition that is essential in collection of unstructured data. They describe a mini-ethnographic study design that can benefit a student researcher with limited time and finances. The authors are long-time ethnographers who currently chair dissertation committees. It is advisable that the researcher chooses a design that enables the best answering of a research question (Fusch, Ness, 2015). Ethnographic research is a qualitative research approach where observations are made through interactions with study participants in their real life environments. The research in the doctoral report seeks to establish medical errors, their courses and how they can be solved. This necessitates a good methodological design to collect and analyse data. This would also entail systematic selection of the hospital with a complemented design. The variants in a hospital according to the doctoral study cannot be quantified numerically at the primary level as they are unstructured and they can only be quantified after collection during analysis (Fusch, Fusch & Ness, 2017).
