Health threats pose significant dangers to humankind and form a
major source of human suffering and sorrow. Responsible leadership
and reasoned decision making can significantly improve the arenas
that are affected by health threats, through establishing a better
allocation of very scarce resources for building health
capabilities and for increasing health preparedness, responsiveness
and resilience. This book examines how public health leaders can
use the cutting-edge research from Decision Sciences to better
manage emerging and re-emerging health threats, with a focus on
enhancing health security. While these decisions must be informed
by the best available evidence, they must also address competing
priorities and key uncertainties and must mitigate critical risks,
albeit in a cost-effective manner which seeks to maximize societal
value. This is a book about how decisions on health security can be
improved, both in terms of the content that is utilized in a health
decision analysis and the decision processes that are employed in
reaching a decision. This decision-focused perspective can help
public health leaders and public health experts to increase the
health preparedness of health systems, the task of which involves
improving health capabilities, increasing the robustness of health
systems against health threats, as well as strengthening health
resilience and the responsiveness of these systems against disease
outbreaks.
