A Curated Conversation

Healthcare
Information

4. Curated Conversation 2017 Question
We wish people to be more actively
engaged in their own healthcare.
In what ways can we help people make
greater meaning from healthcare
information for their own wellbeing?
David Dickinson – Unlike Minds

5. People

6. To help people we must understand their need
information flows in our modern society.
People's Health information must be easily
accessible to ensure people get quality of life
outcomes for their health. ​
Health education and understanding at an early
age will support people making an informed
choice about their health.
Gareth Presche – #WHIS

7. Well-Being and Meaning…
Enabling individuals and groups to make
sense of their current situations, to recognise
barriers to health and well-being.
To identify personal and collaborative
actions helping to create communities where
health and well-being emerge from mutuality
as the result of the intertwining of the crafts
of learning and teaching.
Nigel Ecclesfield – LGC

8. What is 'healthcare' - physical and mental
health?
Given we are in a context that includes
people's views and attitudes, what they say
and do, should healthcare include how we
treat each other?
What comes out of our hearts and minds
impacts on everything and everybody
Philippe Granger Rushey Green Time Bank

9. Contexts

10. Healthcare guidance is frequently isolated
from other factors influencing Sense of
Coherence and the meaning-making
necessary for wellbeing.
If we are serious about people taking
ownership of their healthcare journeys, we
should recognise the necessity to integrate
relevant healthcare information into the
whole-life contexts they manage
David Dickinson – Unlike Minds

11. The meanings we make from the
information around us shapes how we
engage with the world.
How we interpret healthcare information
aligns with how we've been educated.
Do we accept, interpret, negotiate, ignore
or utilise usefully such information?
First we shape our contexts then our
contexts shape us
Fred Garnett - LKL

12. Meaning

13. *Existing healthcare information is but a
fraction of what is relevant to meaning and
wellbeing in people's lives
* Belonging and relationships are central
to people's wellbeing
* What information relates to meaning,
and to bringing us together?
* How can technology focus on that?
Simon Grant - WHIS

14. Health literacy is a continuum, impacted by
many factors such as;
educational level, language skills, access, and
outdated school health curricula.
These factors present formidable challenges
to health information utilization.
To help people derive greater meaning from
health information we must meet people
where they are along this continuum.
Ruth E. Perry M.D. USA

15. Process

16. Changing health care behaviour is complex. Just
telling people to change doesn’t counter
habituation, dopamine rewards, cognitive bias,
secondary gain and myriad other internal
psychological forces.
Many methods used in health education are
didactic, a simple solution that is limited. We
need heutagogical methods to effectively
change behaviour to enable learning.
Stewart Hase – Australia

17. In an age where information is plentiful and
knowledge is attainable our role in healthcare
is to empower individuals to use their innate
wisdom to;
Access, process and utilise healthcare
resources that reflect their individual needs and
motivations, and have meaning within the
context of their view of the world
Linda Vernon – Blackpool

18. In an epoch dominated by information
overload, commercial content presented as
scientific information and health knowledge a
preserve of trained professionals
People must be encouraged to use search and
selection of information, critical thinking and
problem solving to get the knowledge needed
to ensure their good health and wellbeing
