Health economics deals with planning and budgeting for healthcare resources. It determines the price and quantity of limited financial and non-financial resources used to care for the sick and promote health. Health economics uses microeconomics and macroeconomics principles. Microeconomics examines individual and organizational behaviors and their effects on costs and resource allocation. Macroeconomics considers large-scale economic factors like GDP. Economic analyses in health include cost-minimization, cost-benefit, cost-effectiveness, and cost-utility analyses. Nurses play an important role in health economics by leading cost containment efforts, improving quality of care, and advocating for patients' needs.
The document discusses health financing in India. It provides information on what constitutes a health system and the functions of health financing mechanisms.

To help navigate current and future uncertainty and disruptive change, while effectively delivering on its mandate, UNEP has been implementing an institutionalized approach to strategic foresight and horizon scanning with the view to developing an anticipatory and future-oriented culture. This mirrors the growing interest and demand for foresight that is also reinforced by the United Nations reform agenda and the Secretary-General’s report on ‘Our Common Agenda’, which calls for all UN agencies, as well as all UN member states, to engage foresight practices more deeply and apply the derived insights to address global systemic risks. This process has culminated in the development of the present report “Navigating New Horizons – A Global Foresight Report on Planetary Health and Human Wellbeing”, produced by UNEP in collaboration with the International Science Council. The report calls for the world to pay heed and respond to a range of emerging challenges that could disrupt planetary health and wellbeing. It presents insights on eight critical global shifts that are accelerating the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity and nature loss and pollution and waste. Eighteen signals of change – identified by hundreds of global experts and distilled through regional and stakeholder consultations that included youth – offer a glimpse into potential disruptions, both positive and negative, that the world needs to keep a watching brief on. The report outlines how to create an enabling environment for better decision-making by creating a new social contract, embracing agile and adaptive governance, and increasing integrated accessible data and knowledge. The report offers a stark reminder of the interconnectedness and fragility of our systems in the 21st Century and warns that prioritizing short-term gains over anticipatory action and preparedness jeopardizes long-term prosperity and planetary health. However, it also points to the tremendous potential and human ingenuity that can be leveraged in the spirit of discovery and cooperation to deliver solutions across the triple crisis. The outcomes of the report will be integrated into UNEP’s strategic planning, potentially influencing the next UNEP Medium-Term Strategy, presenting an opportunity to consider expanding programmes in areas like artificial intelligence, new technology, and robotics in agriculture, prompting discussions on the level of engagement in these issues. This will ultimately serve UNEP in adopting a proactive posture and modernize tools for efficiency and cost savings. Furthermore, the report will serve as UNEPs contribution to the Summit of the Future. While it is not expected to substantively influence the Summit of the Future as such, it will serve to provide inputs into the preparatory discussions and events, including the High-level Political Forum, in the lead-up to the Summit of the Future as they relate to environmental dimensions.

Docuseries Pitch Deck "Priceless: Personhood, Protection, and Pride for Gende...mtorre3
What does gender-affirming care look like on a daily basis? The media and political discourse focus on the illusory danger of impulsive medical care; but in truth, accessing gender-affirming care is a far more nuanced experience for LGBTQ+ youth. The Free to Be Youth Project's (FYP) upcoming docuseries, "Priceless" explores the nuances of gender-affirming care from the perspective of unhoused and at-risk LGBTQ+ youth and legal advocates in NYC.
Gender-affirming care supports gender identity and expression holistically, addressing gender dysphoria and safety concerns for LGBTQ+ youth through medical procedures, legal support, and social transition. However, financial, social, and political barriers disenfranchise unhoused, street-involved, and at-risk youth from accessing the proven benefits of this care.
To overcome these barriers, our collaborators harness the power of the FYP’s free legal support and fashion show fundraiser. The creative thinking of legal advocates parallels our clients’ innovative and sustainable design process as we collectively work to increase access to life-saving gender-affirming care.

Active Digital Twins for Critical Infrastructure_ What & Why_.pptxStarr Long
Active Digital Twins are real-time virtual representations of real world spaces & data (people, vehicles, objects, weather, etc.) that provide actionable insights. In this talk we will explain why you would build one (versus a traditional dashboard) for Critical Infrastructure (Ports, Utilities, Airports, Emergency Dispatch Centers, etc. ) & how they differ from regular Digital Twins (that are focused on simulation). We'll show an example of an Active Digital Twin being used today- in the real world, for the Port of Corpus Christi- to manage Security Incidents & Cargo Flow (called OPTICS).
Active Digital Twins reduce the cognitive load it takes to process data while decreasing the amount of time to assess the overall context.
Active Digital Twins merge multiple systems into a single "pane of glass" and therefore provide faster & more accurate overall context assessment.
Active Digital Twins improve security, resiliency, safety, efficiency, & the environmental impact of critical infrastructure over traditional methods.
OPTICS is high-resolution, dynamic 3D Active Digital Twin of the Port of Corpus Christi (PCCA). OPTICS displays active vessel presence and movement information from ship transponders (AIS) and security information to provide a cohesive and tactical overview of Port situational awareness in real-time. The project is funded through a Port Security Grant from FEMA.
OPTICS is a custom solution built with The Acceleration Agency’s Project Gemini Active Digital Twin platform.

5. Health System – What is it?
A health system consists of all organizations, people and actions
whose primary intent is to promote, restore or maintain health.
A good health system delivers quality services to all people, when
and where they need them.
The exact configuration of services varies from country to country,
but in all cases requires a robust financing mechanism; a well-trained
and adequately paid workforce; reliable information on which to base
decisions and policies; well maintained facilities and logistics to
deliver quality medicines and technologies.

16. Health Care Financing – Definition
Health financing is one of the main functions of the health system.
It is defined as the raising or collection of revenue to pay for the
operations of the health system.
It is a key determinant of health system performance in terms of
equity, efficiency, and quality.
Principal functions are:
Revenue collection from various sources,
Pooling of funds and spreading of risks across larger population
groups, and
Allocation or use of funds to purchase services from public and
private providers of health care.
17. Health Financing within the Health System
Financing is a “function of a health system concerned with
the mobilization, accumulation and allocation of money to
cover the health needs of the people, individually and
collectively”
The purpose of health financing is “to make funding
available, as well as to set the right financial incentives to
providers to ensure that all individuals have access to
effective public health and personal health care”
18. Health Financing within the Health System,
Cont.
A good health financing system raises adequate funds for health, so
that people can use needed services protected from financial
catastrophe or impoverishment associated with having to pay for
them.
It provides incentives for providers and users to be efficient
The approaches that countries use to finance their health systems
varies,
There are variations in provision of the financial resources those
systems need and the important institutional arrangements that
create economic incentives in the operation of health systems.
19. Health Financing within the Health System,
Cont.
All health financing approaches should try to fulfill three basic
principles of public finance:
1) Raise enough revenues to provide individuals with the intended
packages of health services that assure health and financial
protection against catastrophic medical expenses caused by illness
and injury in an equitable, efficient and financially sustainable
manner;
2) Manage these revenues to pool health risks equitably and
efficiently; and
3) Ensure the payment for or purchase of health services is
carried out in ways that are allocatively and technically efficient.

26. Conclusion
Health care Financing is an important component of Health System
Building Blocks
It encompasses three basic functions of revenue collection, risk
pooling and purchase of health services
Countries go about these basic functions in diverse ways.
It is however important to raise enough revenue to have a good
health system that delivers quality services to all people, when and
where they need them
