Community Health Assessments and Continuous Quality ImprovementP.docxcargillfilberto
Community Health Assessments and Continuous Quality Improvement
Part 1
In its report "The Future of Public Health," the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies (1988) recognizes assessments of community health status and community health needs as a core public health function. The course textbook states that some of the goals of community health assessment are to evaluate health status, identify community health needs, identify strengths and weaknesses of a community's health systems, recommend strategies to address community health needs, and locate existing or needed resources to meet identified needs.
Read the report and based on it, respond to the following questions in relation to the role of community members:
What role or roles should community members have in a community needs assessment? Justify your answer.
What are some strategies for engaging community members?
Public health agencies use data to identify health problems, establish and track health objectives, and assess the effectiveness of policies, programs, and services.
Respond to the following questions in relation to community needs assessment:
Which key factors are important to consider when gathering and presenting data for a community needs assessment?
When presenting data, which strategies would you recommend for creating a strong and compelling statement of need?
Part 2
Continuous quality improvement (CQI) refers to the process of continually assessing and adjusting a program or service components to address problems or enhance results. The CQI process is dynamic and ongoing, guided by input or feedback from individuals receiving the services. Additionally, buy-in and support from the staff, particularly staff responsible for implementing program changes, are critical to an agency's CQI efforts. Selecting the right individual to lead an agency's CQI efforts is important if these criteria are to be achieved.
Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research about CQI in public health systems.
Based on your research, respond to the following discussion points in relation to CQI activities:
Describe the ideal traits or characteristics of the person or team who would spearhead the CQI process.
Examine how CQI leaders can garner support and buy-in from staff responsible for CQI activities.
CQI leaders are critical to the success of an agency's CQI efforts. Effective CQI leaders help establish a shared vision and purpose provide direction, and ensure the availability of resources and the right environment required for success.
Respond to the following discussion points in relation to managing CQI efforts:
Examine the advantages and disadvantages of assigning an existing staff person to manage CQI efforts versus engaging an external contractor.
Explain which of the two you would recommend for managing CQI efforts.

Case Study of Kenya in Assessing Capacities - Zipora Otieno, National Coordinator of the Kenya project for Integrating Agriculture in NAPs
In Kenya, a capacity assessment exercise was conducted by the NAP-Ag Programme to inform a Capacity Development Plan. This included a literature review, interviews and a self-assessment carried out on 6 government institutions. The assessment focused on four functional capacities: policy, knowledge management, implementing, partnering; each of these was assessed in 3 dimensions of individual, organizational and enabling environment. The assessment identified four priority areas of support: strengthening multi-stakeholder engagement, creating an enabling environment for policy implementation, enhancing individual technical capacities for design and implementation of programmes, and gender-responsive budgeting. Some of the assessment recommendations are already being implemented, with financial support from the NAP-Ag project. The country has also embarked on resource mobilization from the Green Climate Fund for a broad-based capacity development initiative. Kenya has good knowledge, plans and policy documents, but implementation remains a challenge. In addition, more efforts need to be channeled towards packaging scientific information to different end-user groups/duty bearers in a manner that is effective.

The Impact of Good Governance on Sustainable Performance - Presentation 5 28....REJAY89
This paper examines the relationship between good governance practices and sustainable performance in the public sector organizations. The study highlights the key mechanisms through which good governance can enhance efficiency, accountability, and transparency in public organizations, leading to improved sustainable outcomes.
With increasing competition in today’s global market, the firms have to look to the modern strategic manners, in order to gain sustainable organization and competitive advantage. Sustainable organization performance is an emerging and innovative managerial tool which can be used as a strategic weapon to gain competitiveness and to promote the firms environmental and financial performance simultaneously. The aim of the research was to examine impact of good corporate governance principles on sustainable performance in the Kenyan public sector organizations. The study found out how the following good governance principles influences sustainable performance in the Kenyan public sector organizations; good governance principles, risk management practices and practical recommendations for good governance. A mixed research design was used in this study.
The focused on the public organizations in Kenya classified as Constitutional Commissions and Independent Offices, County Government, Departments, Ministries, Private Sector and State Corporations. The target population for this study comprised of 384 employees of the Kenyan Public Organizations. The study adopted a random sampling technique in selecting the sample, with a sample size of 384 employees from afore mentioned organizations. Data was collected mainly through questionnaires administered in google forms.
Descriptive statistics were used in this study aided by STATA version 14 to compute percentages of respondents’ answers. Inferential statistics using ordered logistic regression were applied to examine the relationship between research variables. Tables and charts were used to present the analyzed results. The study findings revealed that good governance principles have an impact to the sustainable organization performance in the Kenyan public sector. The study recommends that the public organization should embrace good governance principles in carrying out their operations and further study to be done in this regard to determine why some parameters of good governance were statistically insignificant.
SC4CCM: Lessons from quality collaboratives for community level supply chains JSI
The Supply Chains for Community Case Management project (SC4CCM), managed by JSI with funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, partnered with three district health teams in Rwanda to implement Supply Chain Quality Improvement Collaboratives (QCs), establishing and training a network of 44 Quality Improvement Teams (QITs). Teams comprised CHWs and health center staff who identified team-led solutions for improving community resupply procedures. The QITs used a systematic approach to identify key challenges, set targets, and test their own innovations to address performance gaps. The approach aimed to generate best practices using a continuous plan-study-do-act cycle of assessment and improvement.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
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.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.
