EHR Implementation Challenges in Primary Care (Philippines)Fides Simbulan
This document outlines several key challenges to implementing electronic health records (EHR) in primary health care in the Philippines:
1) Unique patient identification is needed to track individuals' records across different facilities, which the proposed "Filipino Identification System Act" could help address.
2) A unified data dictionary and use of standard clinical terminology is required so records have consistent meaning, but language differences exist across the archipelago.
3) Computer literacy training is needed for health workers to use EHRs, which initiatives like "DigiBayanihan" aim to provide.
4) Costs of infrastructure, training, support and maintenance must be considered in cost-benefit analyses of transitioning from paper to EHR systems
Computer literacy refers to an individual's ability to use computer hardware, software, and applications efficiently and effectively. It involves having a basic understanding of how computers work and learning fundamental skills like using a keyboard and mouse, as well as intermediate skills like installing programs and backing up data. Gaining computer literacy provides benefits like increased employment opportunities, time savings, improved accuracy, and the ability to be a self-learner.

In health, computers digitize medical information, analyze disease risk, and help communicate for patients with disabilities. Businesses use computers to improve productivity, marketing, banking, and sales. Scientists collaborate globally using internet-based laboratories, and governments use computers for planning, control, and law enforcement. Sports utilize computers for statistics, tickets, training, game strategies, and safety equipment design. Defense applies computers to control vehicles, missiles, situational awareness, communications, logistics, platforms, and system design.
The study was based on qualitative interviews to different members of the startup community, including entrepreneurs, mentors, investors, incubators, event organizers and government officials.

Csr policies for innovation and academic connect 2019Dr Anil Gupta
This document discusses how corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategies can leverage mutual strengths of corporations and organizations to foster inclusive innovations. It identifies several "missing links" in current CSR approaches, such as a lack of early-stage support for moving innovations from ideas to prototypes and products, as well as limited funding to overcome barriers to inclusion. The document advocates for CSR programs that support innovation ecosystems through activities like open innovation challenges, funding intellectual property acquisition, incubating rural innovations, and creating networks of academics, entrepreneurs, and industries.
This document discusses the opportunity for social impact networks to engage businesses by delivering business value while also pursuing social goals. It outlines five models of social impact networks:

3) Networks that raise industry standards, benefiting businesses by elevating practices within their industries.
4) Place-based networks that align solutions within communities, indirectly benefiting businesses through local improvements.
5) Networks that mobilize action on large-scale issues, indirectly benefiting businesses through helping address societal challenges.

From Collaborative Economy to Collaborative OrganizationDavid Weingartner
What does it need to become a collaborative organization?
Slides of the talk given at CN Wintercongress of Detecon Consulting in February 2015.
After an introduction to the Collaborative Economy and its relation to the term "Sharing Economy", the presentation shows reasons for its rapid growth: Businesses as platforms. What are the elements of a platform? Why does it allow for rapid growth and value creation?
Taking this as a basis, we translated the concept to the organizational level using OuiShare as an example. What does it need to become a truly collaborative organization? What is the culture and tools needed? What tools and organizations inspired OuiShare?

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteCori Faklaris
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

5. THE WISE COUNSEL
CHALLENGE
Based on your experience, what are the most effective ways to…
1. Link low-income people and communities to the economic opportunities in
regions with diverse and growing economies.
2. Create employment solutions in low-growth communities, including former
manufacturing communities, in which unemployed workers may be skilled
and experienced, but not in the areas in demand in the regional labor
market.
3. Unlocking economic opportunities in isolated, high-poverty, urban
communities. Typically, such communities also face many related
challenges - including access to transportation, education and training
opportunities, and capital that could help people start their own enterprises.
4. Opening advancement opportunities (increasing income generation) for
low-income people (often disproportionately women and people of color).
5. "Anchoring" workforce development in sustainable community efforts.

become an Etsy seller, but rather
to apply the skills they learn to any
entrepreneurial path they want to
follow. We do believe, however,
along with the City of Rockford,
that this will lead to real economic
impact.”
“This pilot program has the
potential to be not just what Mayor
Morrissey calls a “pathway to
prosperity” for Rockford, but a
blueprint for similar programs
across the country and around the

no vision for what’s emerging. It’s
not just that the old world doesn’t
work anymore, it’s also that the old
story that gave it meaning isn’t
believable and there’s no credible
story to replace it.”

from an accident or natural
evolution. It requires constant
pressure, new ideas and sustained
engagement…”
