Reflecting on Your Definition of Healthcare:

• Start by considering: How do you personally understand the term “healthcare”? What does it encompass for you? Is it solely focused on treating illnesses, or does it include broader aspects of maintaining well-being?
• Draw on your experience: If you have personal experiences with healthcare, both positive and negative, reflect on how they have shaped your understanding of the concept.
• Think about your role: If you are a healthcare professional, consider how your specific field or area of expertise influences your definition of healthcare.

Analyzing the Video “From Sickcare to Wellcare”:

• Watch the video attentively: Pay attention to the key points about traditional healthcare and the proposed shift towards wellcare.
• Compare your definition: Does the video challenge or expand your existing definition of healthcare? Why or why not?
• Consider the broader context: Think about the social, economic, and environmental factors that influence health outcomes. Does the video address these factors effectively?

Exploring the Impact on Health Delivery Models:

• Imagine the scenario: If traditional healthcare embraced addressing health disparities through measures like prescribing healthy foods, what changes might occur in the system?
• Anticipate the effects: Consider the potential impact on various aspects of healthcare delivery, such as:
  • Cost and accessibility of care
  • Role of healthcare professionals
  • Patient engagement and empowerment
  • Overall effectiveness of healthcare interventions

Remember:

• This is an opportunity for personal reflection and critical thinking. There are no right or wrong answers, so express your honest thoughts and engage with the materials meaningfully.
• Use the journal activity as a way to prepare for the final project and case study. Consider how the insights you gain here can be applied to your future work.
