As members of the body of Christ, what is our role in fostering collaboration to increase patient access and higher quality care? Barbara Campbell, RPh, CCN, Executive Director, ReLink Global Health-The Dalton Foundation explores the experiences of establishing the Haiti Health Network, a collaboration of more than 500 healthcare providers.
This document discusses health behavior theories and their usefulness in designing health education interventions and programs. It provides an overview of some major theories like the Health Belief Model and explains how theories can be used as tools to understand health behaviors, plan evidence-based programs, and evaluate impacts. It also outlines some essential components of effective community-based health education, like involving community members, comprehensive long-term planning, and addressing multiple factors to create lasting behavior and social change.
Operational research (OR) is a process used to identify and solve health program problems through a continuous cycle of problem identification, strategy selection, strategy testing and evaluation, information dissemination, and utilization. The document discusses how OR has been used to optimize HIV interventions, understand cost-effectiveness, and improve care for vulnerable populations. Some example areas where OR has focused include prevention of mother-to-child transmission, increasing access to antiretroviral therapy, and integrating HIV/AIDS services with other health programs.
Presentation is about the uniqueness of Implementation Research and Role of the Government, specially in Indian context of health programme implementation.
This presentation was given by Miriam Taegtmeyer at a meeting of the Overseas Development Institute on the 20 January 2016. In it she discusses the REACHOUT quality improvement approach.

Lessons Learned from Working At Scale for Better Hygiene & Sanitation Practices WASHplus
The document discusses lessons learned from large-scale hygiene and sanitation programs in Ethiopia and Madagascar. Key points include:
1) Working at scale requires a systems approach that coordinates all stakeholders toward common goals like reducing disease. It is more than just scaling up isolated projects.
2) Successful programs in Ethiopia and Madagascar used a hygiene improvement framework, prioritized behavior change, sustainability, and wide coverage.
3) Starting with leadership buy-in, capacity building of local actors, and community-led approaches led to encouraging results and outcomes at scale. Flexibility and learning-by-doing were also important.

Strengthening Community Health Systems_Henry Perry_5.8.14CORE Group
This document summarizes a review of community-based approaches to improving reproductive, maternal, neonatal and child health. The review found evidence that community health workers can effectively deliver interventions like immunizations, vitamin A supplementation, and treatment of childhood illnesses. Participatory women's groups and home visits were also found to improve health outcomes. Large community health worker programs in countries like Bangladesh and Ethiopia demonstrated improved coverage and reductions in mortality. The review calls for more integrated community-based programming, strengthening of health systems, and viewing communities as partners rather than just recipients of services.

Integrating Community-Based Strategies into Existing Health Systems_Will Stor...CORE Group
This document presents a conceptual framework for how international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) can catalyze the integration of community-based health strategies into existing systems. The framework identifies three pathways - "learning for leverage", "thought leadership", and "joint venturing" - through which INGOs influence institutional norms and facilitate collective action to achieve impact at scale. Six case studies from different countries and interventions illustrate how INGOs have applied these pathways. Feedback is sought on how to improve the framework and depict the integration process, as well as the implications and limitations of this approach.

PyData London 2024: Mistakes were made (Dr. Rebecca Bilbro)Rebecca Bilbro
To honor ten years of PyData London, join Dr. Rebecca Bilbro as she takes us back in time to reflect on a little over ten years working as a data scientist. One of the many renegade PhDs who joined the fledgling field of data science of the 2010's, Rebecca will share lessons learned the hard way, often from watching data science projects go sideways and learning to fix broken things. Through the lens of these canon events, she'll identify some of the anti-patterns and red flags she's learned to steer around.

Discover the cutting-edge telemetry solution implemented for Alan Wake 2 by Remedy Entertainment in collaboration with AWS. This comprehensive presentation dives into our objectives, detailing how we utilized advanced analytics to drive gameplay improvements and player engagement.
Key highlights include:
Primary Goals: Implementing gameplay and technical telemetry to capture detailed player behavior and game performance data, fostering data-driven decision-making.
Tech Stack: Leveraging AWS services such as EKS for hosting, WAF for security, Karpenter for instance optimization, S3 for data storage, and OpenTelemetry Collector for data collection. EventBridge and Lambda were used for data compression, while Glue ETL and Athena facilitated data transformation and preparation.
Data Utilization: Transforming raw data into actionable insights with technologies like Glue ETL (PySpark scripts), Glue Crawler, and Athena, culminating in detailed visualizations with Tableau.
Achievements: Successfully managing 700 million to 1 billion events per month at a cost-effective rate, with significant savings compared to commercial solutions. This approach has enabled simplified scaling and substantial improvements in game design, reducing player churn through targeted adjustments.
Community Engagement: Enhanced ability to engage with player communities by leveraging precise data insights, despite having a small community management team.
This presentation is an invaluable resource for professionals in game development, data analytics, and cloud computing, offering insights into how telemetry and analytics can revolutionize player experience and game performance optimization.
2. Why Hygiene?
• Diarrhea accounts for
20% of childhood
deaths globally
• Improved hygiene
practices each can
reduce diarrhea
prevalence by 30-40%
• Low cost, high impact
interventions exist to
prevent diarrhea
3. Why HIP?
• Builds on USAID’s
30-year experience
in hygiene
programming
• Starts by working at
scale
• Focuses on
improving key
hygiene practices
4. Key Hygiene Practices
• Safe feces disposal
• Hand washing with
soap or equivalent
substitute (e.g. ash)
• Safe storage and
treatment of water
at the point of use
5. Key HIP Tasks
• Implement hygiene improvement at scale in
at least five countries
• Integrate hygiene considerations into
existing health/non-health programs
• Share USAID’s global experience and
knowledge in the field and advocate for
hygiene improvement
• Provide support and capacity strengthening
to PVOs, NGOs and networks in the field.
6. Characteristics of a Scale Effort
• Systems approach
• Behavior First
• Multiples
• Hygiene
Improvement
Framework
• Coverage
7. Systems Approach
Examine:
• The WHOLE
• Relationships
• Degrees of freedom
• Mainstreaming
• Patterns
• Commonalities
• Opportunities
Emphasize:
• Relationships and
patterns of behavior
• That a small event
in one sector can
have tremendous
impact elsewhere
• Key influence points
8. Behavior First
• Focus on improving key individual
hygiene practices
• Identify, promote and facilitate
improved practices
Behaviors that people are both
willing and able to practice
• Design interventions that motivate and
facilitate these improved practices
10. Hygiene
Improvement Framework (HIF)
• Communication
• Social mobilization
• Community participation
• Social marketing
• Training
Hygiene
Promotion
• Water Supply
• Sanitation systems
• Available Household
Technologies and
Materials
Access to
Hardware
• Policy improvement
• Institutional strengthening
• Financing and cost-recovery
• Cross-sectoral coordination
• Partnerships
Enabling
Environment
Hygiene Improvement
Diarrheal Disease Prevention
11. Coverage
Ensure Large Scale
through:
• Health impact
realized
• Total population
covered and/or
• Geographic areas
covered
Ensure Sustainability
by:
• Intervention
concentration
• Activity saturation
• Systems interaction
• Critical mass
behavioral impact
12. Illustrative HIP assistance
• Design, plan, implement and monitor
HI programs at scale
• Integrate HI into other programs, e.g.
HIV/AIDS, education, nutrition
• Assure and use the right mix of
approaches and interventions
• Build coalitions and develop capacity
of interested stakeholders
• Engage private sector partners to
improve hygiene practices
13. How HIP operates
1. HIP identifies countries interested in
long-term collaborative HI efforts at
scale and offers modest start-up
funding.
2. HIP partners with PVOs, NGOs and
private commercial organizations to
strengthen hygiene behavior change
capacity and hygiene programs and to
share knowledge.
14. How HIP operates (2)
3. HIP forges collaborative relationships
with other agencies and institutions
in this sector to exchange information
and collaborate.
4. HIP creates working relationships
with other health and non-health
programs where HI can enhance the
goals of these sectors.
