I’ve been exploring system change at the local level in health service entry and delivery. For example there is an issue with the algorithms used in call centres. They use a bio-medical triage logic that puts the most acute people first. In fact it is the most vulnerable who need to be prioritised because:
they have poorer health
are less likely to use health services due to loss of faith in the systems
and people with more resources have other options.
