The New Narrative: From ‘Nature vs Nurture’ to ‘Nature OR Nurture vs Neglect’

This body of research being presented is geared towards explaining the etiology of mental health-related disease states, delivering interventions for lasting and positive behavioral change, and restoring visions of enlengthened futures to individuals who experience trauma. In doing so, empowering individuals to take ownership of their health by processing their trauma, treating its downstream effects, restoring basal stress levels and ‘nurturing’ healthy habits.

Adverse Childhood Experiences

A study conducted by the American health maintenance organization Kaiser Permanente and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, between 1995 and 1997 investigated the effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), in the first 18 years of the respondents’ lives. Ten Adverse Childhood Experiences were identified and presented in three categories (abuse, household challenges and neglect) were investigated: The study demonstrated an association of Adverse Childhood Experiences with physical, mental and social issues later in life. In my presentation, I will present the results of this study and the

correlations evident in today’s society, and strategies to identify and respond to facilitate healing and recovery.

A shift from Won’t to Can’t | Mental Health and Law enforcement

Individuals in conflict with the law may experience mental health or substance abuse crises. Officers need to be equipped with the appropriate tools to differentiate between non-compliance and a mental health crisis and apply appropriate interventions to manage these issues. Throughout this presentation, I will identify some of the ways mental health or substance abuse crises may present to law enforcement and deliver strategies to de-escalate while protecting the public. This discussion will compare Eurocentric vs Africentric approaches to case management, while highlighting the benefits of incorporating Africentric Theory into correctional interventions.

Healthcare workforce development, maintenance and transitions – and preparing for the infusion of technology

The role of Healthcare Ethics in Healthcare Workforce Development, Maintenance, Transitions, and Preparing for the Infusion of Technology 

Healthcare Workforce Development, Maintenance and Transitions – and Preparing for the Infusion of Technology. The shortage of healthcare staff poses a unique challenge to healthcare leaders locally and globally. Many approaches aimed at satisfying workforce needs seems to deprive a population while barely fulfilling the need in another. Many healthcare leaders believe healthcare workforce issues pose a risk to care delivery, while the workforce itself is seeking its own relief. In my talk about healthcare development, maintenance, and transitions – and preparing for the infusion of technology, I will examine the role of healthcare ethics and how healthcare ethics can be used as a vehicle to inform and direct healthcare workforce

development, maintenance, and transitions, and the ethics of technology in the solutions to healthcare workforce demands.

Future-ready Healthcare

The rapid evolution of healthcare technology is surpassing our ability to adapt existing medical facilities. Future healthcare buildings will diverge significantly from current structures due to technological innovation, aging populations, evolving healthcare expectations, and recognition of the environment’s role in healing. WSP advocate a balanced approach of commitment and flexibility in hospital design worldwide. They allocate resources to rethink and experiment with new technologies in the Bolder Innovation Center. Collaboration between technology and MEP engineers ensures adaptability to emerging technologies in system designs. Recognizing the environment’s impact on healing, patient-centered design is pivotal in modern

healthcare facilities, encompassing both physical and virtual spaces. Patients, empowered with information, seek clinical care through mobile devices, prompting a technological revolution beyond simple apps to advanced AI-driven systems. AI-powered monitoring and telemedicine facilitate remote diagnosis and treatment, leading to centralized hubs for medical expertise. Advanced surgical techniques minimize hospital stays. However, efficiency demands, bacterial resistance, and climate change resilience pose additional challenges.

Promoting Healthcare Excellence: An Innovative Approach to Designing Purpose-Built Healthcare Facilities for 21st Century Health Challenges. 

Healthcare is evolving in the 21st century with the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and purpose-built facilities tailored to address non-communicable and life-threatening diseases. We will explore the role of AI in transforming patient care and health outcomes through enhanced diagnosis, treatment planning, clinical research, and personalized medicine in developing Countries like Jamaica. We will delve into the evolution of Health informatics in clinical decision-making and resource optimization, emphasizing the importance of designing and building hospitals and treatment facilities that are equipped to effectively manage complications from non-communicable diseases as well as other critical illness that result in higher mortality rates. Additionally, we will address the ethical considerations and challenges associated with integrating AI and purpose-built facilities into healthcare ecosystems. Don't miss this opportunity to understand the future of healthcare design and its potential to revolutionize patient-centered care for complex health challenges.
