India healthsystem gaurav
The health system in India has a complex mixed structure with both public and private sectors. It has a three-tier government system with responsibilities divided between central, state, and local governments. However, 80% of healthcare costs are paid directly by patients due to low public spending. While India produces many medical professionals and supplies, health indicators remain low and inequities between rich and poor as well as urban and rural areas are high. The government aims to expand coverage through programs like PM-JAY to achieve universal healthcare access without financial hardship.

When tribes control their own healthcare, it leads to services that are culturally appropriate as well as health, economic, and sovereignty benefits for the community.

Sq 744 press release
Three Oklahoma physician groups expressed concerns about State Question 744 and its potential impact on access to healthcare. Passing the bill would divert funding away from the Oklahoma Health Care Authority and other public health programs, doing a disservice to Oklahoma's poor and medically underserved. Every dollar taken from the OHCA to fund State Question 744 would result in a $3 loss in funds for healthcare. This could potentially devastate children's health in Oklahoma as almost half receive Medicaid coverage, which may face a $1.5 billion cut. Cutting OHCA funding could also worsen Oklahoma's physician shortage in rural areas by lowering reimbursement rates. While improving education is supported, tying legislative hands and reducing other vital state services is not

WhoWillFundOurHealth
The current health care funding system needs to be future-proofed effectively, to relieve the future cost on younger generations, and ensure later life health care quality is not downgraded. The document discusses how health care expenditure is increasing due to an aging population, rising costs of new medical technologies, and higher public expectations. It notes that health care costs rise dramatically with age, and that the number of older Australians will more than triple by 2049-50. This increasing cost will place significant burden on younger generations if the current pay-as-you-go funding model based on taxation continues unchanged. The document calls for a comprehensive policy framework and debate on sustainable options to fund health care into the future.

Hsc mc the role of health care in aust
This document provides multiple choice questions and answers from past HSC exams in Australia about the role of health care in Australia. It covers topics like Medicare, the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, private health insurance, government responsibilities for health care, factors influencing health care expenditures, and initiatives to promote health and support principles of social justice. The questions and answers provide information on key aspects of Australia's health care system and how it has changed over time.
4 health care expenditure v promotion
Australia spends much more on health care expenditure than on health promotion and prevention. Only 1.7% of total health expenditure in 2011-12 went to public health activities focused on prevention. However, chronic diseases place a large burden on the health system and are often preventable. More funding for prevention strategies could help control rising health costs by reducing rates of chronic illness. While some progress has been made, Australia still spends less on prevention than many other developed countries. Increased investment in primary care and prevention is needed to adequately address challenges from chronic diseases and an aging population.
3 equity of access to health facilities and services
This document discusses inequitable access to health services in Australia, particularly for vulnerable groups. It notes that health is a basic human right, but poor and disadvantaged populations experience poorer health outcomes due to inequitable distribution of health determinants. Vulnerable groups who experience greater barriers to healthcare access include Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, socioeconomically disadvantaged individuals, rural/remote residents, those with disabilities or mental illness, and culturally diverse populations. The document calls for more effective, responsive healthcare services that consider factors like income, culture, literacy levels and transportation barriers.

Pre reading technologies and work
Technological developments have largely shaped the modern workplace. As jobs become automated and tasks are completed more efficiently by machines, the structure of the workplace is changing. While some jobs have become redundant, new roles in fields like information technology have emerged. Technologies are also changing how employees complete their work and levels of job satisfaction. While technology has negatively impacted some industries, it has created many new jobs and opportunities in technology-related fields. Employers are responsible for training employees on new workplace technologies, while employees must keep their skills updated to adapt to changes.
Pre reading technology and communities
Technologies impact many aspects of community life, including building, communications, consumer services,
entertainment, finance, food, health, knowledge, leisure, and transportation. Developments in building technologies
aim to use less toxic and more sustainable materials, while communication technologies enhance connectivity.
Consumer technologies allow online banking, shopping, and access to services. Entertainment, finance, food, health,
knowledge, and leisure have also been transformed by new technologies. Transportation technologies improve safety,
efficiency and environmental impacts of travel. Overall, technologies aim to improve quality of life while minimizing
harms.
Pre reading technology and the family
Household technologies, genetic engineering, and reproductive technologies can all impact family relationships. Household technologies make domestic tasks more efficient but can also reduce family interaction if overused. Genetic engineering is controversial as it raises ethical concerns about altering nature, and differing views within a family can cause conflict. Reproductive technologies are stressful processes that may impact relationships and a child's identity.
CAFS Rights and Responsibilities - Setting limits 2
This document discusses setting limits with children. It explains that setting limits teaches rules and expectations for behavior even without formal household rules. Effective limit setting involves parents role modeling cooperative and respectful behavior, and utilizing tools to clearly communicate rules for children of all temperaments. Vague or inconsistent rules can negatively impact children by failing to teach them right from wrong or causing rebellion if rules are too strict. Setting different rules for siblings can also damage family relationships.
CAFS Rights and Responsibilities - Setting limits
Setting rules and limits is important for families as it improves relationships and behavior. Effective limit setting involves good communication, respect, trust, fairness, and adjusting rules as children age. When limits are not set properly, it can lead to conflict, rebellion, lack of trust, and damage to relationships.
CAFS Rights and Responsibilities - Discipline
This document discusses discipline and how it is achieved through consistency, being firm but friendly, effective communication, and preserving a child's self-worth. An example is given of gently pulling a misbehaving child aside to make them aware of their behavior and potential consequences. The document also notes that without proper discipline, a child may rebel, lose manners, push boundaries, disrespect authority, use bad language, and fail to learn from mistakes.
Pdhpe prereading types of training and training methods
The document outlines 4 main types of training: aerobic, anaerobic, flexibility, and strength training. It describes the goals and methods for each type. Aerobic training improves cardiovascular endurance through continuous, interval, or circuit training. Anaerobic training develops the energy pathways through high-intensity interval training. Flexibility training maintains or improves range of motion through static, dynamic, PNF, or ballistic stretching. Strength training increases muscle force through resistance exercises using weights, bands, or machines; it aims to build absolute strength, power, or muscular endurance.
Pdhpe pre reading prinicples of training
1. The principle of progressive overload states that training benefits occur when undertaking sessions that fatigue the body through new, gradually increasing demands over time. This causes physiological adaptation and a fitter athlete.
2. The principle of specificity means that training programs and activities must closely match or relate to the actual sport or event for greatest gains. Training should target the specific energy systems, muscle groups, and movement patterns required.
3. The principle of reversibility notes that discontinuing training causes decreases in previous fitness gains. Greater losses follow bigger previous gains. Maintaining training is important to retain adaptations.
Pdhpe prereading physiological adaptations
Aerobic training causes six main physiological adaptations that improve athletic performance: 1) resting heart rate decreases as the heart becomes more efficient, 2) stroke volume and cardiac output increase allowing the heart to pump more blood per beat to deliver more oxygen to working muscles, 3) oxygen uptake increases through improved cardiovascular and respiratory efficiency while lung capacity remains unchanged, 4) haemoglobin levels rise to transport more oxygen in the bloodstream, 5) muscle hypertrophy occurs through increased muscle fiber size from resistance training, and 6) aerobic training enlarges slow-twitch muscle fibers more than fast-twitch fibers.
Cafs pre reading social parents
The document provides links to video clips about different types of social parenting: adoption, fostering, step-parenting, and surrogacy. It instructs the reader to watch the clips to develop their understanding of each type of social parent and complete a mind map describing the key aspects of social parents for adoption, fostering, step-parenting, and surrogacy.
Cafs pre reading biological parents
Becoming a biological parent can occur through planned or unplanned pregnancy, which involves ovulation, fertilization, implantation and development over 9 months of gestation split into trimesters. Biological parents are related by blood to their children through pregnancy or birthing technologies like in vitro fertilization (IVF) or gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT), which are options when infertility issues prevent natural conception.
Cafs pre reading - influencing factors
Caring for dependents can impact a family's resources in several ways. It may reduce the time and energy caregivers have available and increase financial demands. The effects depend on factors like the dependents' ages and needs. Caregiving also often requires modifying housing and accessing community services, which takes additional time and resources. Open communication within the family is important for successfully managing all these changes.
Health care in australia
Health care in Australia is delivered through both public and private systems. The public system is funded through taxes and Medicare provides universal healthcare access. Private health insurance can be purchased for services like hospitals and extras. Approximately 90% of health spending currently goes to treating illness rather than prevention. There is a push to increase funding for prevention to improve health and control costs as the population ages. New technologies have improved disease detection but also increase costs.

2 responsibility for health facilities and services
- 1. Responsibility for Health Care The Australian Constitution specifies the broad role of Federal and State/Territory Governments: The Federal is responsible for direct funding of individual health benefit programs The states/territories are responsible for delivery of a large proportion of health services. The Australian Government takes a leading role to provide universal and affordable access to high quality medical, pharmaceutical and hospital services. States and territories have primary responsibility for the provision of health services, including most acute and psychiatric hospital services. Formal Federal/State partnerships exist for hospital funding and for public health. The private sector also plays a significant role in funding and provision of health services. (Source: Reforming Australia’s Health System, Dept of Health & Ageing) Table 1 below summarises some major current roles in relation to the five governance functions. This is not meant to be comprehensive (and excludes, for example, the roles of professional boards and learned colleges).
