Health Policies Require New Multidisciplinary Research

Abstract

Feeling healthy really impacts productivity and is also very important to fully understand human wellbeing, physical and mental personality, and consequently policies.

In health policy the “diagnosis” is not always suitable and this will sometimes open incentives for wrong policy responses. Most universal health policies are being centred on cost efficiency approaches but too few improvements are noticed and countries are simply cutting public spending without qualified information. It means high risks of under-performance.

The aim of this article is to underline the need for researchers from different disciplines to work together while health policies are not a matter for doctors, hospitals and pharmacies only. We need a wider approach to find new, efficient financial solutions for sustainable solutions of the population’s need for health. We here present a ‘industrial diagram’ interpreting health related actions, proposing an interdisciplinary approach, finding where the cost is and suggesting more socially efficient and qualified network solutions, where every disciplinary voice is listened to.
