Proposed One Health activities, aims and monitoring to implement and integrate knowledge to evaluate the current methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus situation and estimate its economic burden at the formulation stage of the policy cycle.

One Health initiative specific aims regarding five main activities Monitoring1 (transversal activity) One Health initiative main aim
Thinking • Stipulate the dimensions that need coverage, and balance different areas of knowledge and multiple perspectives.
• Reflect upon the initiative-to-environment match.
• Reflect upon the best integrated health approach.
• Consider all the system features and targets and, sustainability and socio-ecological-economic impacts.
• Think and decide upon relevant performance indicators for each One Health Initiative main activity.

Planning • Establish common aims that will lead to stakeholder and actor engagement while monitoring, self-assessing and updating each plan when needed. During all the initiative phases the following are of extreme relevance to be under monitoring and assessment for the need for change, development and, innovation:

Working • Stimulate the inclusion and collaboration of each stakeholder of the initiative, broadening its impact while balancing its transdisciplinary (cultural, social, and economic) – nature. • Research Problem and Design
• Team structures
• Social and leadership structure
• Social and leadership skills
• Competence/Skills
• Resource allocation
• Focus and innovation
Set guidelines that allow for Policy Formulation. (This is possible through the results obtained during the five activities. These will allow evidence which will point out solutions to the AMR problem, and recommendations on how to improve its situation.)

Sharing • Stimulate systematic general information/awareness sharing, through data and information sharing and development of methods and stimulation of results sharing. These activities intend to develop institutional memory and resilience ability.

Learning • Create a general and direct multilevel (individual level, team level and organizational level) learning environment supportive of adaptive and generative learning.
