Stakeholders with this film could be doctors, international-wide medical and health services or professionals studied within the field of health conditions in the third-world countries. The MSF members (doctors) are the first person who get into contact with the locals, they would experience a range of situations with during and aftermath of the disaster. They have focused on the practical side of the medical service with contrast to the United Nation, UNICEF only planned the theoretical plans with meetings that MSF would said that are not suitable with the situations they have faced (~49:00 – 51:00). After the mission the MSF member served, each one of them have decided the future paths which assist the development of medical health within these areas in some ways. Professionals interesting in this field might benefit from the film fieldtrip recording and gain relevant research based on the situations described in the film in order to plan a possible solution to current situations or make plan for the future possible situation to prevent lack of medical service within third world countries and increase overall public health. 

With its large amount of citations and a wide variety of sources, we can extrapolate that this research article was made with a good deal of time and care. There are even citations to other works by Galea, but it appears that the only original research done for the article was interviewing responders and patients.

As previously mentioned in question two, there is a lot of features that Clod9 offered to specific group of users. With these features and functions, the users can connect together.

ž   Patients: Conveniently take and learn from self-assessments; Easily talk to providers via live video; Track daily emotional and mental states; Save time and money

ž   Providers: Extend patient reach and service area; Gain insights from mobile patient generated data; Cut practice overhead costs; Add new revenues via newly reimbursable CPT codes

ž   Organizations: Create patient and provider efficiencies; Easily integrate as much or little as needed; Leverage new administrative analytics; Lower costs / new revenue / new CPT codes

The main argument that Sonja makes is that there does not exist any international organization with capabilities and expertise to respond to nuclear disasters. Further, with talk of forming such an organization/team since Fukushima, any international nuclear disaster strike team will need to have good relations with the communities and workers that they help as well as good communication at the international level to see the maximum effective response.

The report details the effects, both long and short term, of the effects of nuclear disasters on the population and environment. The knowledge gained form this report will help prevent or mitigate future disasters like this one if/should they occur.

This policy is mainly focused on the first responders’ group. As the first responders should immediately take all reasonable efforts to contain the contamination and avoid or mitigate environmental consequences.

                Currently the IAEA is dependent on funding from its own member states. This becomes precarious when the organization policing nuclear compliance is also dependent on the same states for funding. (iaea.org)

Although I had issues finding references to this particular chapter, the larger work that it is a part of (Medicine, Rationality and Experience) is cited by nearly 3,000 other articles according to Google Scholar.

                This study was published by the CDC under “Emerging Infectious Diseases”. Emerging Infectious Diseases, focuses on both identifying these emerging threats and disseminating information to its readers. The CDC earns a high respect from healthcare professionals.
