Hospitals measure clinical outcomes; universities measure academic performance; public institutions measure expenditure and efficiency. These indicators matter. No organization survives for long without producing results. But are results sufficient to define success? A company can increase its profits while creating anxiety among the people who work there. A hospital can achieve excellent clinical outcomes while leaving patients feeling unseen. A university can prepare students to pass examinations without helping them discover their talents. A public institution can digitalize a service while making it harder for citizens to understand. Perhaps we have become very effective at measuring what organizations produce, and much less capable of measuring what they produce in people.https://riidblog.org/post/28-07-2026/Tue, 28 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://riidblog.org/post/28-07-2026/Maurizio Marceca MD...Bearing in mind that among the most widely accepted definitions of public health are: “The science and art of improving the health of the population through organized societal efforts” (Acheson, 1988; WHO, 2000), but also: “ The process of mobilizing the local, regional, national, and international resources necessary to ensure the conditions under which all people can be in good health” (Breslow and Detels, 1991), it is clear that we are essentially talking about something very important and very complex, all the more so if the reference framework adopted is the global one—that is, one that concerns the health of all peoples across the entire planet.
