Preparing the 21st century global healthcare workforce.

چکیده
Chronic conditions currently account for more than half of the global disease burden and are a primary challenge for 21st century healthcare systems. This is a dramatic shift from the health concerns of the 20th century, when acute infectious diseases were the primary focus in every country. While the world is experiencing a rapid transition from acute diseases to chronic health problems, training of the healthcare workforce, however, relies on early 20th century models that emphasise diagnosis and treatment of acute diseases. Educational leaders, health professional bodies, and the World Health Organization recognise such models as inadequate for health workers caring for a growing population of patients with health problems that persist across decades or lifetimes. Training should be restructured to include a new set of core competencies (knowledge, skills, abilities, personal qualities, experience, or other characteristics)—new “tricks” that prepare 21st century health workers to manage today’s most prevalent health problems.
