Health challenges are a mainstay of employee wellness programs. However, little is known about whether, when and for whom they are effective. Drawing from the nascent literature on health challenges and related, more established literature, this presentation will focus on how best to leverage health challenges for population reach while acknowledging their limitations in eliciting sustainable behavior change.

Improving Sustainability of BC's Home and Community Care SystemBCCPA
In the face of unprecedented growth in the seniors population, health systems across Canada are challenged to ensure sustainability while addressing consumer expectations and respecting the wishes of individuals to remain independent as long as possible. Waitlists for access to continuing care services, and the high numbers of seniors that remain in hospital while no longer requiring acute care, demonstrate potential mismatches between supply and demand. As the population of seniors continues to grow, this disparity will continue to increase, unless practices within health systems change. Island Health will share its experiences supporting seniors to live independently.
Background
Today's context for health leadership is complex, rapidly evolving, and calls for new approaches to the development of leaders for today and the future. “We need to train our leaders to be more collaborative, to be more inclusive, and to have greater integrity. It’s a whole different set of practices[1].” The Center for Health Leadership and Practice (CHLP) has an innovative approach to leadership development that brings together teams of leaders from multiple sectors that want to advance their leadership skills and achieve health equity in their community.
Program
CHLP trains multi-sectoral teams in an applied, team-based, and collaborative leadership development model. Using experiential learning, an applied health leadership project is the primary vehicle for leadership learning. The core curriculum is based on five competencies: Leadership Mastery; Ability to work effectively across sectors; Application of continuous quality improvement principles; Appropriate use of data for planning, assessment, monitoring and evaluation; and Commitment to a population health perspective. The work throughout the year is divided into four phases that each includes leadership themes: 1) inspiration; 2) ideation; 3) implementation and growing; and 4) sustaining and transition[2]. Team development is further enhanced and curriculum customized with a team coach. As fellows begin the program year they begin exploring and are challenged to examine their partners, stakeholders and networks. This theme is resurfaced at each phase of the program to examine the true diversity and voices needed to achieve population health improvement.
Lessons Learned
Rigorous CQI processes inform cutting edge program development
Developing capacities of multi-sector teams of leaders to work and lead across sectors improves their ability to successfully navigate today’s complex environment and effectively collaborate on community health projects.

Healthcare and medicine are being revolutionized by communications and computational resources. Understanding how the convergence of these enabling technologies is advancing our ability to get and stay well is the topic of this presentation.
From your home to the waiting room, today’s patient experience is rapidly evolving and will continue changing into the future. We have more control and insight into healthcare than ever before, largely due to emerging and readily accessible technologies. This is impacting both the experience at the provider’s office and how patients research and address their own healthcare at home. A look at the technologies that are changing healthcare and practical applications for consumers to take charge of their health today. This presentation was originally given at the 2013 Better Health: Everyone's Responsibility Conference.
How do we see the healthcare's digital future and its impact on our lives?Jane Vita
"Healthcare is undergoing major changes spurred on by, but not limited to, technology.
Digitalisation is changing the way we think about health, what taking care of it really entails, our personal role in healthcare systems and the way we interact with technology in the context of health.
In many ways, we are entering a post-institutional age of increased personal responsibility, which presents healthcare service providers and other players in the field with major opportunities and great risks. Technology has the potential to empower people and help them become more active in the management of their and their families’ health. This will change the relationship of the patient and the caregiver in profound ways." Mirkka Länsisalo
A co-creation with Mirkka Läansisalo and Sala Heinänen, at Futurice.
Presentation is about the uniqueness of Implementation Research and Role of the Government, specially in Indian context of health programme implementation.
These slides have been designed for healthcare leaders and managers to enable them to run an Making Every Contact Count (MECC) introductory session within their organisations. It may be delivered to teams and individuals prior to them undertaking MECC training.
As new payment models emerge that emphasize value over volume, providers are being compelled to look more closely at how to motivate patients—especially those with multiple chronic conditions—to actively manage their care, make better decisions and change behaviors. This editorial webinar will explore the relationships between engagement and improved health outcomes, greater patient satisfaction and better resource utilization. Our panel of experts will share proven strategies for building patients' confidence, disseminating self-management tools and making the best use of your care team.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

What varies
• What is incentivized – participation vs. outcome
• What, when and how – incentive delivery
• How people participate – individual vs. team (or

12. Empowering Everyone and Every One 12
Health Challenges
Over-promise (with good cause)
• Broad population reach
• Fun and engaging
• Potential to jump-start behavior change
initiation
(Where we) Under-deliver
• Engaging those who are less motivated (and
most at-risk)
• Failure to achieve long-term behavior change

14. Empowering Everyone and Every One 14
Individually-Tailored Programs
How do they work?
What can they do?
• Meet people where they are
• Provide a more intense intervention dose
• Move employees closer to sustained
behavior change
15. Empowering Everyone and Every One 15
What is tailoring?
Tailoring:
• Enhances information relevance
• Has the potential to create greater behavior change
It involves:
• Personalizing information
• Providing feedback based on individual risk or behavior
• Matching content to user preferences and other characteristics
It is achieved through:
• Segmentation – Dividing the audience into defined, homogenous groups
• Customization – The degree to which program content reflects relevant individual
characteristics
16. Empowering Everyone and Every One 16
Why tailor?
• Heightened attention to and improved processing of program
content
• Enhanced positive attitude toward, perceptions of norms and
agency for health behavior
• Greater engagement in programs, greater evidence of behavior
change (compared to programs that do not involve tailoring)
17. Empowering Everyone and Every One 17
Population-Based or Individual?
Each serve different purposes
• Benefits to broad population reach
