Improving quality of care, using existing assets better and reducing medical ...NHS England
Expo is the most significant annual health and social care event in the calendar, uniting more NHS and care leaders, commissioners, clinicians, voluntary sector partners, innovators and media than any other health and care event.
Expo 15 returned to Manchester and was hosted once again by NHS England. Around 5000 people a day from health and care, the voluntary sector, local government, and industry joined together at Manchester Central Convention Centre for two packed days of speakers, workshops, exhibitions and professional development.
This year, Expo was more relevant and engaging than ever before, happening within the first 100 days of the new Government, and almost 12 months after the publication of the NHS Five Year Forward View. It was also a great opportunity to check on and learn from the progress of Greater Manchester as the area prepares to take over a £6 billion devolved health and social care budget, pledging to integrate hospital, community, primary and social care and vastly improve health and well-being.

Income Replacement and Data Analytics: Retirement Planning for the FutureCognizant
While governments and financial institutions work to achieve long-term stability, the unstable economic landscape threatens to significantly reduce the working population's retirement income and assets. The Income Replacement Ratio (IRR), supported by data analytics, is becoming an important factor in structuring future retirement products and helping more plan participants achieve their retirement goals.

Part 1: Interest Rates
Macroeconomic factors that influence interest rates in general
The variables influencing microfinance interest rates for MFIs can be characterized into two general gatherings: 1) interior – the components MFIs can impact: for example work costs, specialized help, creations; or 2) outer – political risks, full scale factors, authoritative risk, and four fundamental parts reflected in the microfinance interest rates: working costs, cost of assets, advance misfortune costs, and benefit. Working expenses speak to around 60 % of the all out MFI costs and generally rely upon the credit size, age, area and customer's appraising, and so on.
Macroeconomic factors is your industry most sensitive
Like most businesses, the carrier business is affected by the monetary cycle's pinnacles and troughs. The present development in created economies—like the U.S. that is driven by the extricating money related strategy—has brought about an ascent in business certainty, mechanical creation, and universal exchange.
Impacts on the interest rates experienced within your chosen industry
In any industry, the economy assumes a urgent job that incorporates the general development of the division, and common flight, with the ever-developing interest, is no special case. To give a major picture, Airbus GMF 2016 evaluations the 20-year interest for new traveler and cargo airplane to be a little more than 33,000 airplane comprising a market estimation of over USD $5.2 trillion underlining and setting up the effect of market development.
Part 2: Stock Valuation, Risk and Returns
Stock Valuation. As indicated by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (or BEA), the genuine total national output (or GDP) expanded 4% every year in 2Q14 in the wake of diminishing 2.1% in 1Q14. With financial and modern development, work rates have expanded. This has prompted higher genuine extra cash.

My company doesn't have stocks right now, so I'll use Costco Wholesale as an example to explain the stock valuation. Future Costco Wholesale Corp stock predictions formula:
P0 = Div1 / (r – g)
P0 = Stock Price;
Div1= Estimated dividends for the next period;
r = Required Rate of Return;
g = Growth Rate
In this formula, we need to know the value of estimated dividends for the next period; required rate and return as well as growth rate. Let’s get each number individually.
g: Growth Rate = Retention Ratio x ROE
0.52 x 0.24 = 0.1248
r: Required Rate of Return.
R = D / P0 + g
0.65 / 296.09 + 0.1248 = 0.1269
Div1: Estimated dividends for the next period is 65c. Therefore, the future Costco Wholesale Corp stock predictions are:
P0 = Div1 / (r – g)
0.65 / 0.0021 = $309.52
The present stock worth and the assessed stock worth utilizing the Dividend Discount Model is higher on account of the contenders are attempting to get into the membership segment showcase.

Using AI to transcribe qualitative data: Personal reflections of an experienc...John Wren
I have put together the attached PPT as a personal reflection about what I have learnt about the use of AI to transcribe video interviews in the Covid 19 world. In the PPT I cover questions such as:
1) why transcribe when you have the audio visual?
2) what types of AI transcribing are available - a tip, there is a difference between Dictation and AI transcribing
3) provide some links to a few transcribing sites, offer some quick reflections on them, their costs and service structure
3) a walk through of Sonix, which is the AI service I have been using.
Barriers to Maori utilisation of ACC services and what Can be done" Report 2....John Wren
What are the barriers to Maori use of ACC services, and what can be done about them are the topics addressed in the second report. This is done by presenting the results of a review of the health services literature, of which there is a lot, about why services are not used by vulnerable population groups/lose most in need of the services. Evidence from published research on ACC services is presented and put in the context of the other health services research. The report goes on to present a range of evidence about how services could be improved to make them more user friendly / accessible for Maori.
Evidence for Maori Under-utlisation of ACC Services: Report 1 (Wren , 2015)John Wren
This report presents a public health orientated argument that at the population level there is substantive evidence for large inequity in Maori utilisation of ACC funded injury treatment services given that Maori have approximately double the injury rates of non-Maori. However, Maori were only utilising ACC services at the same level as non-Maori. One would expect that given that Maori injury rates are double non-Maori, then Maori rates of utilisation should be of the same magnitude - but they are not. From a population public health perspective this represents a clear inequity, however from a insurance/banking perspective there is no inequity as everybody has the same access to services and it is the individual choice whether the services are used or not. The first report has a table in it that compares the two perspectives side by side. It is enlightening.
Final intro use of economic methods for injury prevention resource allocation John Wren
This 2010 paper was developed to address a range of information needs for the NZ Injury Prevention Secretariat, in particular:
1) a review of the health economics models and associated issues that must be understood when undertaking cost of injury studies
2) a review of the published New Zealand cost of injury studies to identify the methods utilised, and the size of the cost estimates calculated for various injury events
3) calculated a new total social and economic cost of injury estimate for all injuries and the six injury priority areas respectively, drawing upon the lessons learnt from the reviews undertaken
4) briefly reviewed the ways in which economic methods can be used to inform injury prevention investment decisions, and made recommendations for their use in New Zealand
5) drew conclusions and made recommendations about undertaking future cost of injury work to provide both better standardisation in approach and greater cost discrimination between injury areas.
Health co morbidity effects on injury compensation claims in NZ, and evidence...John Wren
This PPT presents the results of a suite of research undertaken to explore the evidence for health comorbidity effects on the cost of injury compensation claims, and what might be done about them. Comorbidity effects were shown to add approximately 10% extra to the cost of claims. There is good evidence that workplace health and wellness programmes are effective if well designed
Reflections on cross government agency evaluationsJohn Wren
This PPT presents some reflections on undertaking cross-government agency evaluations, it highlights some common issues and presents some tips on how to manage a cross agency evaluation. The PPT was given at an ANZEA conference
The PPT presents the results of an evaluation of the ACC Better at Work intervention, which aimed to change General Medical Practitioners prescribing practices for time off work for injury. A range of perspectives about the invention are presented. Lessons are presented and conclusions drawn about the value and merit of the intervention. Lessons include issues to do with with the evaluation design.
Socioeconomic drivers of injury compensation claims in NZJohn Wren
This presents the results of early work on the socio-economic drivers of injury compensation claims in NZ. The PPT presents explanatory models of the drivers of claims using a causal loop model, statistical evidence, and discusses the results in the international context. The implications of the analysis for injury prevention and claims management are discussed.
Issues of scale when moving from pilot projects to national role out.John Wren
This PPT is a series of reflections following a major evaluation undertaken by the presenters. It reflects on lessons learnt when little things that can be ignored at the pilot project stage become major issues at the large scale. The presentation was given at an extended session at an ANZEA conference
Summary of evidence for the use of economic incentives to promote work place ...John Wren
This PPT is presents a summary of evidence for the use of economic incentives to promote work place health and safety. It was given at seminar at Victoria University of Wellington NZ
These slides present an introduction to the use of cost benefit / value of preventable fatality methods for making decisions about injury prevention from a high level public policy perspective.
This short PPT presents a mix of causal loop diagrams (see slides 3 and 4) and classic logic models to present a public health perspective on gambling harm and harm minimization intervention in NZ.
Reflections on Research and Evaluation Reality Jan 2016John Wren
This PPT presents personal reflections on the challenging environment many researchers and evaluators in government agencies face. The reflections come from 15 years of experience, and observing and listening and talking to colleagues in NZ and Australia.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

Reflections on Outcomes Reporting at the government policy level
1. More does not mean better:
Lessons from the New Zealand Ministry of
Health experience in Gambling Harm
Reduction Outcomes Reporting
Presentation for International Gambling Conference,
February 2018. Auckland, New Zealand.
By Dr John Wren, Senior Research Advisor, Addictions Team, Systems
Outcomes, Ministry of Health
Sean-Paul Kearns, Data Analyst, Addictions Team, Ministry of Health
2. We will
Provide some context on the
history of outcomes reporting
in New Zealand
Outline the contents of the
2013 New Zealand Gambling
Baseline Report
Reflect on the experience of
producing the report and
subsequent updates
Summarise what we have learnt
Outline how we have
applied the lessons in 2017
Update Report
3. Context – New Zealand Legislative Framework for
Gambling
Under the Gambling Act 2003, the
Ministry of Health is ‘the Department
responsible’ with the funding and
coordination of problem gambling
services. It assumed responsibility for
this role on 1 July 2004.
Since 1 July 2016, the Ministry’s work is guided by its
Strategy to Prevent and Minimise Gambling Harm 2016/17
to 2018/19
4. Origins of push for Outcomes Reporting
• The 2003 legislation includes requirements for ‘independent scientific
research associated with gambling’ and for ‘evaluation’
• Ministry promotion of adopting Good Public Health Practice in the design,
delivery and monitoring of public health programmes…

Gambling Harm
6. In 2012 preparation of a Baseline Report was
commissioned to be released end 2013
7. Intent of the Outcomes Reporting…is to help answer
questions such as
How do we know the programme of work is reducing harm? Are we
measuring the outcomes adequately?
What components are missing from the programme?
Was resourcing adequate for each component of the programme and for the
programme as a whole?
Was the intervention mix effective? Was it based on evidence? Does it
reflect the principles of the 1986 Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion?
Do new interventions need to be developed to have a comprehensive range
of interventions available for each component of the programme?
Which parts of the programme are working? Which parts of the programme
are not working? Do resources need to be refocused?
8. What was in the Baseline Report? A lot of detail

Our reflections on monitoring progress
• Impressive range of indicators - but not all were
measurable
• 65 Indicators is a lot of work, requiring a lot of resources
– do we really need that many indicators?
• Report 250 pages long, but no clear statement on
progress achieving goals of
• ‘preventing and minimising harm’
• ‘health inequities’ being reduced? (note report
talks about ‘inequalities’ – this is not the same
thing as ‘inequity’
16. 16
Our reflections on monitoring progress
• Baseline report has a lot of detail, which makes it quite
dense to read
• Drowning in data - is the level of detail presented
required?
• Is the focus right – have we reported outcomes in the
right way – i.e. do we know what progress has been
achieved? What has changed?
• Need to sharpen the Logic Flow – to understand what is
important and why – Move to Causal Loop Models?
17. Recommendations
Not
necessary to
report
everything
It is
‘necessary’
to have a
clear and
meaningful
logic
structure
Know:
who the
primary
audience is
what the
primary
purpose is
Tell the
‘story’
Involving key
stakeholders
is a good
idea:
Requires
leadership
Just because
you can, doesn’t
mean you
should
Reject the
mantra of ‘facts
speaking for
themselves’
An Outcomes report that
implements these reflections
is being developed now
18. Applying our reflections: One example. The Strategic Goal: Has there
been a reduction in harm since 2010?
Gambling participation has fallen…
19. …however problem gambling levels
relatively unchanged in recent years
The Strategic Goal: Has there been a reduction in harm since 2010?
22. First strategic objective: What about inequality /inequity?
Inequality = observed different experience of gambling (e.g. participation,
harm, service utilisation) between population groups of interest (e.g.
Ethnicity, Gender, Social Deprivation)
Inequality may / may not = inequity
Inequity = observed level of harm experienced or services utilised by
population groups of interest are at levels different from that expected given
the level of health need or participation in harmful activity in the
population groups
Concept of ‘Inequity’ often associated with ‘Fairness’
Presence of an inequity may not indicate ‘unfairness’ – depends upon the cause
of the inequity and the size of the inequity
Disparity = observed substantive difference between population groups of
interest
Key terms:
