The MATCH model also known as the Multiple Approaches to
Community Health is a social levels intervention assessment
model which focuses on creating programs and working with
others in order to create and execute community based programs
to make sure that all have the equal opportunity to be healthy in
their homes, schools and at the workplace (Simons-Morton,
McLeroy, & Wendel, 2012). MATCH takes into consideration
the social determinants of health and the factors that influence
health and its behavior on multiple levels (social, interpersonal,
government, etc.) In short, this model aims to improve
population health and reduce health disparities (Simons-Morton,
McLeroy, & Wendel, 2012).
The Intervention mapping model would be the best assessment
used in order to increase vaccination rates. This model is broken
down into 6 steps in order to create a blueprint in order to
design, implement and evaluate an intervention (Simons-
Morton, McLeroy, & Wendel, 2012). In step 1, the problem will
need to be addressed. In this case, the problem is vaccination
rates are low among parents. Why is this a problem? What
population or community is this intervention planning to focus
on? And how does behavior and environmental factors play into
this? Is it just a problem of a lack of communication? Cultural
barriers? A lack of access to facilities that provide vaccines?
For step 2, looking at theories, brainstorming ideas, or looking
at prior evidence is key. As you move further into each step, the
IM model works to address proper methods of communication,

In my opinion, the significant obstacles to improve health are
policymakers and the policies guiding the healthcare system.

3. For example, the American health system is the highest per
capita costs in the developed world compare to Sweden,
Singapore, Canada, U.K, and a lot more. In assessment
evaluates the health systems along two dimensions. The first is
the magnitudes to which vital supports of value-based health
care are in place at the national level. For example, share
national standards and infrastructure, national legal and
outlines, the ability to relate health outcomes with costs, and
the engagement on the part of clinicians and policymakers. The
second is the quality of existing disease registries of countries.
The selected tracking health outcomes in a population of
patients by institutions with the same diagnosis or having
undergone the same medical procedure. In terms of richness of
the data and the complexity of the medical community's use of
the data (Rotenberg Shpigelman, S., Sternberg, S., & Maeir, A.,
2019).
However, the disjointed nature of the American healthcare
system has limited the collection and use of national health-
outcome data. Reporting standards and clinical outcome metrics
differ considerably across the network, even within the same
specialty, said, legal practitioners. I have learned the numbers
of few countries mentioned above have begun to build
infrastructure and processes to support a value-based approach.
More so significantly beyond learning the curve than
others, said Stefan Larsson, MD, a BCG senior partner and co-
author of the report.
In conclusion, the system of government and policymakers of
each country are the obstacles improvement of health; because
most of the healthcare laws and policies are made out of self-
interest and gain.
