Pehla Qadam overview Jan 20 2012
Clubfoot is a birth defect affecting 1 in 1000 births where the foot is twisted inward and downward. If left untreated, it can cripple a person for life. However, the Ponseti method, developed in the 1960s, uses simple casts to gradually correct the foot over 8-12 weeks of treatment. Pehla Qadam is a non-profit working to promote the Ponseti method in developing countries where many with clubfoot do not receive treatment. Their goals are to establish sustainable clubfoot treatment programs, increase public awareness, and help more children walk normally.
Pehla Qadam project - presented to Ponseti International
Pehla Qadam is a treatment project at Indus Hospital, Karachi Pakistan.
We presented the project and related research plan to the Ponseti International Association Board of Directors in October.

This document discusses mobilizing community health workers and volunteers to identify children in need of eye care services. It notes that blindness is a public health issue best addressed at the community level. Mobilizing community workers can increase coverage, promote gender inclusivity, and reach non-school attending children. Their roles would include identifying eye disorders, referring children to eye care facilities, providing follow-up and health education. Potential benefits include increased referrals and awareness, while addressing barriers to access. The experience in India and Nepal engaging Anganwadi workers, ASHAs, and FCHVs has yielded successful identification and treatment of children with eye disorders.
Clubfoot in Pakistan Presentation by Lubna in Barcelona 2014

- The program trained local health workers and engaged community organizations to identify clubfoot cases and ensure treatment completion.
- Initial results found good clinical outcomes, with the mean Pirani score decreasing after casting and bracing. Most feet were corrected without surgery.

This document summarizes strategies for effectively delivering services to custodial grandparents raising grandchildren. It outlines key issues faced by these families including legal, financial, health, mental health, social support, parenting and education challenges. It recommends that programs address the beliefs, barriers and needs of grandparents to build trust. Program staff should receive training to eliminate biases and focus on strengths. The program structure should offer population-specific, accessible services across locations and times. Supportive policies are also needed to help advocate for custodial grandfamilies.
Low Vision Conference Presentation
The document discusses low vision in the elderly population and the need for improved support services. It summarizes findings from the Johns Hopkins SEEING study which found that (1) nursing home staff need more training to help residents with low vision, (2) low vision devices can improve quality of life but many residents do not have access to them, and (3) residents often rely on staff for mobility and daily tasks rather than being taught adaptations. The document promotes a training seminar to teach care teams how to better communicate with and assist residents who have low vision.

HXR 2016: Designing Within a Hospital System: Challenges and Strategies
Designers embedded within a large healthcare system have a unique opportunity to work directly with patients, doctors, nurses, and other staff to create significant impact in how healthcare is provided. However, along with this exceptional access come big challenges: complicated bureaucratic power structures, change-adverse organizational cultures, and industry-specific technology constraints. How do designers — often working alone or in small teams — position themselves in order to make a difference in this complex environment?
This session will convene a group of seasoned in-house UX and service designers from diverse healthcare institutions to share stories and examples of their work as they talk about the specific challenges they face and discuss strategies for working more effectively.
