Women empowerment and its impact on economyeTailing India
Women's empowerment and greater participation in the workforce can significantly boost economic development. When women have equal access to resources and their skills are fully utilized, productivity increases. For example, giving women farmers the same access to land and fertilizers could increase agricultural output by 2.5-4%. Empowering women also leads to beneficial spending on children's education and nutrition. Finally, increasing women's roles in the economy, politics and society makes institutions more representative and improves access to public services. Overall, empowering women is an untapped resource that countries should cultivate to strengthen their economies and development.

Reflection On Community-Based Human Service OrganizationsAngela Williams
Community-based human service organizations play pivotal roles in promoting quality of life for vulnerable individuals and communities.

However, these non-profit organizations face challenges during economic downturns in finding and maintaining adequate funding to continue operating programs and services.

This document discusses shifting approaches to international development in sub-Saharan Africa, from focusing on needs and deficiencies to emphasizing strengths and assets. It argues for using an asset-based approach that maps community capacities and looks inside communities to solve problems, rather than having outsiders impose help. An example asset map of pastoral communities in Kenya shows individual and collective skills, physical and economic resources, institutions, and stories that can form the basis for locally-led development. The document advocates combining sustainable livelihoods, participatory, rights-based and asset-based frameworks to support citizens in addressing their own needs.

It also discusses how to make services and organizations more accountable to the people and communities they serve.
The document discusses asset-based community development and empowering seniors.

The document also discusses the importance of inclusion, co-production between community members and agencies, developing local capacity, and empowering citizens rather than treating them as clients.
The document discusses majoring in business and the importance of business and non-profit organizations. It notes that business concepts include accounting, economics, finance, marketing, and organizational behavior.

Fraud prevention and improving non-profit and for-profit healthcare operations are also mentioned.

Our first presentation will be with Dani Hatch, CEO and Founder of Glownar. Glownar is a hardware and software solution for emergency services. Startland News notes that the solution will revolutionize how emergency medical services function. With Glownar’s hardware, EMS will be guided to your doorstep by light, and the software will ensure EMS receives pertinent information about you and your loved ones. With Glownar, families will be able to add information ahead of time to help EMS respond quicker, more efficiently and with personalized knowledge of the patient before arriving on scene. This will result in shorter response times, better scene safety and will help eliminate the errors and lack of information from a caller who is panicked or incapable of communicating.
These slides were presented at the February 2023 meeting of the KC Digital Drive Health Innovation Team.
In our second presentation, we cover a new solution in maternal health with Marma Nutrition.
Marma is changing the way women, mothers and birthing people are supported and nourished throughout pregnancy and postpartum. It provides virtual access to nutrition experts, personalized information and guidance, an extensive library of resources, weekly prenatal tracking and more. Marma sees itself as the app that nourishes birthing bodies.
Representing the leadership team will be Meredith Evans McAllister. Meredith is a successful entrepreneur who was compelled to co-found Marma when she recognized the lack of nutritional resources to which women and mothers have access.
These slides were presented at the February 2023 meeting of the KC Digital Drive Health Innovation Team.
In our first presentation, we will hear from Redpoint Summit about optimizing physician time and quality in electronic health records (EHRs). EHR inefficiencies prevent physicians from providing optimal patient care, which causes burnout. Redpoint Summit identifies physicians' EHR patterns and personalizes the EHR experience for each physician, improves order sets across the hospital and implements evidence-based best practices. This is so that physicians and health systems can provide the most effective and efficient patient care and be recognized for their excellence.
Our presenter will be CEO and Founder Chuck Schneider. Chuck has over 27 years of experience in healthcare IT. Prior to Redpoint Summit, he was VP of engineering at Cerner. He was one of the first 20 architects that created Cerner’s PowerChart EMR. Chuck drove the creation of the ordering functionality, medication process, ePrescribing, mobile development, and other major core EMR functionality. Chuck has 11 US patents in healthcare IT and has owned multiple businesses since 2009.
As a special bonus, we also will get the perspective of one of the organizations working with Redpoint, the University of Nebraska Medical Center, represented by Ron Carson, Executive Director of Enterprise Applications.
Our Healthy Jackson County Presentation - HIT Jan 2023KC Digital Drive
In our first presentation, Jannette Berkley-Patton, PhD., of University of Missouri - Kansa City's School of Medicine will describe Our Healthy Kansas City Eastside, a set of projects organized by Dr. Berkley-Patton and UMKC and funded by Jackson County (MO) to improve health status in some of the most challenging neighborhoods in Kansas City. An initial round of funding was dedicated to improving the coverage of vaccinations in these same neighborhoods. Based on the success of that effort, this current round of funding expands into key health screenings, initiatives in maternal health, chronic disease prevention, and digital inclusion. A number of research projects are included in the program. The County grant is for $5 million and is expected to be followed up with another $5 million to expand further.
The success of the program is based on strong sector-led support (health care, education, faith communities, business) directly in the community through networking and events, as well as participation by multiple relevant community entities, like KC Digital Drive. KCDD will be active in both the chronic disease prevention and digital inclusion aspects of the program.
Dr. Berkley-Patton is a professor in the departments of Biomedical and Health Informatics at the School of Medicine. A fuller biography is available here.
This document discusses the Heartland Telehealth Resource Center (HTRC), which provides technical assistance and resources to implement telehealth programs for rural and underserved communities in Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma. It is one of 14 regional telehealth centers funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The HTRC works with rural communities, community health centers, and rural health clinics to help organizations overcome barriers and advance telehealth education. It provides consultation services, webinars, workshops and online resources to support telehealth implementation. The document also describes several telehealth programs operated by the University of Kansas Medical Center that provide behavioral health services to children, schools and disaster-affected communities using a telehealth model.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
