HSREP · Health System Resilience and Economic Protection

A strong health system is how a country protects its people’s money.

HSREP is an independent public-health research and advocacy platform. It publishes the evidence that health spending is economic protection, not a budget line to cut. Its first season covers the United States and Bangladesh: nine published articles, the record of how far they travelled, and a clinic pilot in development.

The roundtable is a written discussion, open now. No meeting to attend.

The protection chain
A health shock
An illness, a bill, an outbreak, a disaster.
The household
Savings, work and schooling hold, or collapse.
The clinic and the public purse
Clinics, budgets and public services absorb the shock, or fail.
Economic protection
Resilient health systems protect livelihoods, stability and trust.
The thread

From a published argument to a proposed pilot.

HSREP argues in public, measures how the argument travels, proposes something that can be tested, and puts it back to the people who do the work. One thread, dated at every step.

Where does preventive care break down between recommended and completed in your setting?

Three questions are open. Answer the one your own work speaks to: five minutes, under your name, moderated, and published.

METHODOLOGY: The 57,274 total combines 36,997 Facebook views, 13,054 LinkedIn impressions, and 7,223 Instagram native views. These are platform-native distribution measures, not unique people reached and not program impact. Figures were reconciled at >94% against full-campaign locks; the full calculation rules and dataset are public.

§ 02 · Findings

Four findings from the Season 1 data.

Eleven replicable patterns came out of the campaign data. These four held across chapters and across platforms.
FINDING 01
Tagging deepens a national audience rather than broadening it.
Evidence
≈3× median impressions on tagged Daily Star pieces, replicated five weeks apart, with a 76-80% Bangladesh audience.
FINDING 02
The same content reaches opposite audiences on different platforms.
Evidence
Same argument, same day: Facebook routed it to Bangladesh, LinkedIn to an audience whose engagement was 61% from health-domain industries.
FINDING 03
Algorithmic recommendation is the gate to cross-border reach.
Evidence
Dose-responsive: 50%→47%, 60%→70%, 78%→82% U.S. audience as “Suggested” share rose.
FINDING 04
The campaign converged on its thesis by the close.
Evidence
The closing post was the only untagged article post where U.S. exceeded Bangladesh, 48.5% > 39.3%.
Three secondary observations and four further mechanisms sit alongside these, each with its claim, evidence and interpretation, in the Season 1 record.

“Are you maintaining a website where all this information can be found in one place? These efforts are extremely valuable and deserve to be easily accessible.”

“I chaired Shafaat's capstone, so I have followed this from the start, and it has grown into a serious, well-documented platform. He is careful about what the evidence can and cannot show, which is what makes the advocacy worth trusting.

“He also would not stop at the argument. The Prevention Adoption Initiative takes the hardest part of prevention, turning a recommended screening into a completed one, and treats it as something to design and test responsibly, with sustainability in mind.

“It is that pairing, credible advocacy and a real plan to act on it, that makes me glad to support the work and to encourage the right partner to take a serious look.”

Professor of Public Health Education & Director, Office of Health Promotion, Eastern Michigan University

§ 05 · Applied initiative
Proposed · In development

Close the Prevention Adoption Gap

The first proposed demonstration is intentionally narrow: one Southeast Michigan safety-net clinic, one colorectal-cancer screening measure, twelve months, evaluated independently by an academic partner once one is confirmed. The design is published; the next step is a host clinic.

Request the 30-minute presentation →Review the proposed pilot
Service redesign & friction reduction
Make the completed path the easiest one: mailed at-home kits, reminders people act on, a next step for every positive test.
One nightly file, three transparent rules
A 19-column coded export ranks who needs attention this week: days overdue, days since a positive test, prior no-shows. No model, no EHR connection in the first pilot.
Implementation enablement
Training so the site runs and sustains the routine itself by month twelve. Every lever is recommended by the Community Preventive Services Task Force.
Try the worklist →
The weekly list the pilot would run: thirty invented patients, three rules, nothing sent. Predictive and FHIR work waits for a validated pilot.
One clinic starts it; a partner judges it. A safety-net clinic hosts the pilot and contracts the implementation from month one, with a decision at month three to continue or stop. An academic partner leads the independent evaluation, paid from its own grant. A funder can carry either side: a grant to the clinic, or to the evaluation.

The pilot needs a host site to start, and an academic partner for the independent evaluation. The three roundtable questions stay open above, and the newsletter is there if now is not the time.

§ 06 · Frequently asked

What HSREP is, in plain answers.

The questions professionals, partners, and search engines ask most.
What is HSREP?
HSREP, Health System Resilience & Economic Protection, is an independent public-health research and advocacy platform. It publishes health-system arguments, the central one being that health protection is economic infrastructure rather than a residual budget line, and turns them into materials professionals can use. The site lives at hsraep.org, the letters spell Health System Resilience And Economic Protection.
What does ‘health-system resilience is economic protection’ mean?
It reframes public-health spending as protection against measurable economic loss (medical debt, lost productivity, disaster cost) rather than a charity or cost line. Resilient health systems protect households, institutions, and public trust when a shock hits.
How can professionals engage with HSREP?
Professionals can respond to or endorse a published argument, join a structured online roundtable, subscribe to the newsletter, request a presentation, or explore partnership on the initiative.
