What is the difference between Policy, Processes, Procedures.

Policy – refers to a certain group that cumulatively agreed on implementing a set plan to conduct on to a specific situation.(Cambridge University Press, n.d.)

Procedure – this is basically a step-by-step manual or text that tells you how to do a certain activity. (Merriam-Webster Dictionary, n.d.)

Process – “a particular course of action intended to achieve a result.” (Vocabulary, n.d)

The differences I can point out between these three is that a procedure is an established process. Meaning, if you follow a certain procedure, you are bound to get the same results as a that procedure is intending you to get. Process on the other is more on trial and error. There is something you do want to achieve but you are still on the process of finding the correct procedure for your expected result to come out. Policy, on the other hand, is the legalization of a plan or procedure. The government is involved. Policy refers to the implementation of a procedure for everyone, under that government, to follow.

A process is a procedure, something you do in order to achieve a certain result. Some people try to carefully follow all the steps in a process. Other people just wing it.

Which do you prefer: Apple or Android?

This is a question that is perfect for me. I have been an Android user for literally my whole life due to the fact that I do not have the money to buy a single Apple product. I’ve only watched reviews and unboxings online but never really got the chance to try it properly. For 19 years of my life, Android was my only choice of gadget. And to be honest, I was totally content with it. I was able to communicate with family and friends, connect to social media outlets, as well as take decent photos and videos for a personal hobby. Life was great with it. Skip to my first year of college, I timidly asked my mom if we could purchase a laptop to help with my studies. That was what we were set on buying. We started canvassing different types of laptops and searched for good quality ones while having a decent price range for our budget. However, a friend of mine suggested that I buy an iPad instead since it was definitely more lightweight compared to a laptop and it was apparently more efficient from that friend’s perspective. I gave it a thought and shared it with my mom. She told me she’ll think about it and weeks went on without saying a word about it. One day, she suddenly told me we needed to go out to buy something and we went home with an iPad in my possession. It’s been approximately 4 months since I first got my iPad and it has been a massive help to me as a student. Taking down notes has never been easier and my bag has lesser weight to it every time I go to school. It was definitely such a good purchase in my opinion. To the point where it’s convincing me to switch to an iPhone to increase the ease of connecting with my iPad. It has definitely been so much smoother and easier to work on my iPad compared to when I used to transfer files from my phone to my PC and only get to do work during late hours because I can’t bring my PC anywhere. I am not very techy so I would not really know which one is better processor-wise, but with my experience thus far, Apple won over me in just 4 months of use.

1. Health Systems

The video discusses a breakdown of how health systems are and how they work. It starts off with the narrator stating that the main goal of health systems are “prevention and care”. As we are human, our bodies wear out in multiple different ways thus taking notice of these and acting upon a treatment plan to cure our issues is our natural way of life. The narrator mentions how, “patients are really important.” Without patients, the health system wouldn’t exist at all. If there was no one who has medical issues in the first place, we wouldn’t have gone to great measures and research just to keep our species from being endangered. He proceeds to show us how prevention and care have developed over the years with the amounts of institutes, professions, companies, and even the government that have dedicated themselves to contributing to the prevention of diseases and providing care to patients that need it. This is a great plus to our resiliency as a race and how we are able to find and develop more ways to keep our bodies in check for a better and healthier life.

2. Philippine Health System

It’s a shame that there is an evident imbalance in the distribution of health care in the Philippines. Your life depends on whether or not you can afford the services being offered by hospitals. Not a lot of hospitals carry the same capability of treating patients effectively. Public and Private hospitals here in the Philippines are segregated to cater the less fortunate and the privilege respectively. This means, public institutes may not have the best equipment and services due to lack of funding and how they budget the needs of their patients.

3. Primary Health Care

This tells us that primary health care is the bare minimum we should be treating ourselves. “Prevention is better that cure.” Having the basic type of medical care in our lives will not only give results during that time frame but will also show us long term effects and how we might have prevented something from happening years back.
