Measuring Our Success in Achieving Desired Outcomes in Social Accountability within the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences

Progress with social accountability within the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences is measured using the Core Social Values framework of Boelen and Heck (WHO, 1995):

  1. Relevance:听 In health care defined as the degree to which the most important problems are tackled first.
  2. Quality: High quality care uses evidence-based data and appropriate technology to deliver comprehensive health care to individuals and populations, taking into account their social, cultural and consumer expectations.
  3. Cost-effectiveness: Cost-effective health care systems are those that have the greatest impact on the health of a society while making the best use of its resources.
  4. Equity:听 Equity, which is central to a socially accountable health care system, means striving towards making quality health care accessible to all persons in all countries.

Note that the Core Social Values are expressed in terms of health care systems.听 In developing ways to measure social accountability within our Faculty, we contextualize the measures of these Core Social Values to our institution鈥檚 role building socially accountable health care systems, enacted through our missions of education, research, and service.
