The re-silofication of health care

Details

Content Summary

The editorial by John Wootton discusses the trend of 're-silofication' in health care, where specialized programs focus on specific diseases for efficiency and measurability. While this approach facilitates management and data collection, it risks sidelining generalist and holistic care, particularly in rural settings where comprehensive, personalized care is crucial. Wootton critiques the urban-centric planning that may not suit rural health needs, emphasizing the challenge for small communities to adapt to these measurement-driven models.
