Paul Farmer has used this paper in later works and has been published in various journals and books. 

This report includes Recommendations towards the end that provides an analysis of the data collected and ways in which these can be improved and fixed in the community. Some include that insurance companies should cover transgender-related health care, ways to end violence against this community, that medical providers should avoid bias and provide proper, equal care, and that more data needs to be collected and obtained to continue in the fight against discrimination.

The bibliography of this article shows that most of the data drawn for this paper was from other scholarly papers, which leads me to believe that no new research or studies were done to gain information for this article.

The article cites various studies and uses the experiences of organizations in order to help plan for the future. The authors use the WHO and the CDC as these examples of experience. They draw upon the AIDS crisis as an example of global outreach and of a public health crisis. Innovation in science is discussed and ongoing research experiments. DOTS (Directly-Observed Treatment, Short Term) program is discussed as well and its shortcomings in dealing with TB.

They also use many examples of situations in which violence against humanitarian workers and facilities occurred. 

The viewpoints of elected goverment officials on the state and federal levels are lacking from this film.

They stress the importance of recordkeeping and how that has the ability to change the future outcomes of safety. I would imagine they stress it so intensely due to issues they had in the past. They also have the challenge of dealing with public sectors and workforces not in their jurisdiction. While they are helpful for those they cover, those they do not provide concern in that they can't protect the workers and avoid accidents and emergencies. 

The convention was drafted and signed at a special meeting of the IAEA that took place 5 months after the Chernobyl Disaster. No one author or author country could be determined based on the document.

The central argument of the film is that healthcare professionals are for the most part believe that they can defeat most diseases, and that they consider not being able to fix something a failure on their part. As such, they are not trained well in handling palliative and end-of-life care, prioritizing the patients wishes and dignity over putting up a fight against the disease.
