Le rétablissement en santé mentale, c’est beaucoup plus que l’absence de maladie ou de troubles psychiques. Il s'agit en fait bien davantage d’un processus de changement continu par lequel les personnes avec l’expérience vécue d’un problème de santé mentale améliorent globalement leur santé et leur bien-être, mènent une vie autonome, et s'évertuent à réaliser leur plein potentiel.

Improving Global Health: Focusing on Quality and Safety (edX)

Health & Society Medicine & Pharmacology

An introduction to the emerging field of global healthcare quality. Access to healthcare services is critical – but is it enough? We are at a critical inflection point in global health. We have seen improvements in access to care, but struggle to improve human health. A key component of this equation is quality of care. Improving access to healthcare is only as useful as the quality of care provided. Many agree that quality is important – but what is it? How do we define it? How do we measure it? And most importantly, how might we make it better?
