The health sector has become a world issue for a long time. Changes in the lifestyle of people, and how people leave in the current world, prompts quick actions to be taken to help develop solutions to the issues affecting the common citizen. Therefore, this calls for frequent meetings with key stakeholders to arrive a consensus on how to help the growing demand of the health care sector. Often, convening a meeting is an easy issue that requires calling upon the people to sit and deliberate on the issues at hand. In this case, the committee members attend and the task remains on the agendas or any other business as the meeting may pertain. Collaborative decision-making is the task that befalls the committee members. However, the decisions, the committee members are to make regarding the health management and adoption of technology becomes the issue in the whole health sector. Decisions should have been self-centred to help patients and the growing demand in the health sector.

The chair opened the meeting and started on a good note by defining the role of the committee defined. The chair explained the collaborative health care system and its importance to the committee before he invited contributions from the members. The organized meeting comprises of the brains behind the health decision (Raiffa, Richardson, & Metcalfe, 2002). However, the collaborative decision-making is a tool to apply. Attending the meeting assists in widening a person’s perspective on the health issues and has a different view of the health conditions of a country. The committee played a major role in the meeting organized by the health officials. The objective of the meeting is to contribute ideas that lead to an ultimate solution on the status of the health conditions. The committee comprises members who interact to contribute to the issue health. The methods members present in the committee contributed their ideas and gave opinions that needed a count towards the final decision. The health problem is a problem that affects every being on earth and any living thing. Therefore, making decisions require scrutiny of the contributions made by each member in the meeting. The intellectual effort shared among the members arises from the members of the committees with a common aim of arriving at single decision.

Health committees have roles that vary in any setup but with a common goal of improving the health status of a country’s people. This is a vital role due to the nature of the issue handled. In this case, there is shared governance that contributes to effective decision making. The parties involved are experienced and have brilliant ideas. Therefore, the committee comprises competent people with a common objective.

The chair engaged the members to contribute their opinions towards the issue of health. This showed the value of the members and the value of each member’s contribution. Meanwhile the secretary was taking minutes and noting each member’s opinion seeming constructive without repetition of the ideas. The opinions from the members aimed at giving a common reaction towards the issue of health that affects the whole world. Issues in discussion included killer diseases such as cancer and HIV that has killed people for many years. The collaborative nature of the meeting aimed at conclusive decisions on the administration of health care services to the whole population. The major challenge remained to be the costs incurred which was a discussion among the stakeholders, which was to involve the government. The government would chip in to help in financing the health projects. Collaborative decision-making is a method that considers quality of the action taken (Cox, 2015). In conclusion, collaborative health care gives a solution to health problems.
