Our training focus is on lean thinking and practice. Our values include respect for people (humility, compassion, equity, and dignity) and continuous improvement (challenge, "go and see" to understand, kaizen, and teamwork). https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9xg5t30s Thu, 14 Feb 2019 00:00:00 +0000 Aragon, Tomas J.

San Francisco has made great strides towards "Getting to Zero" HIV infections, deaths, and stigma. However, we face new challenges with persons who inject drugs (PWID), and increases in substance use disorder, mental illness, and homelessness. Residents and visitors are concerned about (a) an increase in people injecting drugs in public and (b) an increase in discarded syringes on the streets of San Francisco. Some have asked whether syringe access programs are distributing too many syringes, and whether this poses a health risk to the general public. This brief reviews the science behind syringe access programs and how they protect the public’s health. To protect the public’s health, San Francisco’s deploys a collective impact approach to (a) reduce syringe sharing, infection, and disease prevalence (by syringe access); (b) reduce contact with discarded syringes (by syringe disposal and recovery);... https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2r7298jr Thu, 2 Aug 2018 00:00:00 +0000 Aragon, Tomas J. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/30c2r01g Practical LaTeX for the Health Sciences https://escholarship.org/uc/item/30c2r01g Sat, 18 Nov 2017 00:00:00 +0000 Aragon, Tomas J. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7bb8b9pw Project Management for the Health Professional https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7bb8b9pw Tue, 3 Oct 2017 00:00:00 +0000 Aragon, Tomas J Mier, Heather M. Payauys, Tony Siador, Christine https://escholarship.org/uc/item/76g7r8gz The purpose of this toolkit is to help local health department (LHD) staff prepare for future influenza A pandemics by practicing their assessment and implementation skills each year during seasonal influenza. A public health infectious disease emergency response, such as a mass vaccination campaign, will be more effective if we understand the changing needs, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors of our diverse communities. Because these characteristics can differ significantly by age group, gender, ethnicity, income level, or neighborhood, we can use this knowledge to customize our response. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/76g7r8gz Tue, 3 Oct 2017 00:00:00 +0000 Aragon, Tomas J Crawley, Adam Martinez-Rubin, Norma https://escholarship.org/uc/item/52755837 Deriving criteria weights for health decision making: A brief tutorial https://escholarship.org/uc/item/52755837 Tue, 3 Oct 2017 00:00:00 +0000 Aragon, Tomas J https://escholarship.org/uc/item/44m2t9wm Outbreak of Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli O157 Infection Associated with a Restaurant https://escholarship.org/uc/item/44m2t9wm Tue, 3 Oct 2017 00:00:00 +0000 Aragon, Tomas J Garcia, Barbara A. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8wp451vd PDSA Problem Solving: With a gentle introduction to double-loop learning, program theory, and causal graphs https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8wp451vd Wed, 12 Apr 2017 00:00:00 +0000 Aragon, Tomas J https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9t6334jw The epidemiology and surveillance response to pandemic influenza A (H1N1) among local health departments in the San Francisco Bay Area https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9t6334jw Fri, 3 Mar 2017 00:00:00 +0000 Enanoria, Wayne T Crawley, Adam W Tseng, Winston Furnish, Jasmine Balido, Jeannie Aragon, Tomas J https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9p15v0m6 Integrating a framework for conducting public health systems research into statewide operations-based exercises to improve emergency preparedness https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9p15v0m6 Fri, 3 Mar 2017 00:00:00 +0000 Hunter, Jennifer C Yang, Jane E Petrie, Michael Aragon, Tomas J https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9jd785kj The risk and benefits of pre-event smallpox vaccination: where you stand depends on where you sit https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9jd785kj Fri, 3 Mar 2017 00:00:00 +0000 Aragon, Tomas J Fernyak, Susan E https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8sx623c0 Effect of the One-Child Policy on Influenza Transmission in China: A Stochastic Transmission Model https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8sx623c0 Fri, 3 Mar 2017 00:00:00 +0000 Liu, Fengchen Enanoria, Wayne T Ray, Kathryn J Coffee, Megan P Gordon, Aubree Aragon, Tomas J Yu, Guowei Cowling, Benjamin J Porco, Travis C https://escholarship.org/uc/item/825430qn For transforming organizations and community health, the San Francisco Department of Public Health, Population Health Division has embraced population health lean—an innovation and performance improvement management system based on the Toyota Production System (lean), collective impact methods (e.g., Results-Based AccountabilityTM), and human-centered design. We cover lean, collective impact, human-centered design, making quality decisions, building effective teams, and leading organization transformations. Our core values include humility, respect for people, teamwork, embracing challenges, genchi genbutsu (“go and see” to understand), and kaizen (continuous improvement). https://escholarship.org/uc/item/825430qn Fri, 3 Mar 2017 00:00:00 +0000 Aragon, Tomas J.
