Abstract

Background: Small public health organizations often experience difficulties scaling up their outputs to meet a larger quantity demand. The NubAbility foundation, dedicated to supporting athletics among the limb-different population, is one such small public health organization. 

Objectives: This project focused on the development of the Camp Program Management System for the NubAbility Foundation. The objectives were to: (1) create a dynamic Camp Management System built for scaling up; (2) create Standard Operation Procedures for both NubAbility staff and users.

Methods: Research was conducted on identifying the value of an appropriate internal infrastructure tool fitted for NubAbility Athletics Foundation. Addition research was conducted on software as a service options that could be accessibility by all staff members, provide acute accessibility for coaches and volunteers, produces customizable dashboards, offers dynamic data entry capabilities the service is cost friendly, and the design of the program is user-friendly. This influenced the decision to choose Google Workspace for business as the building block for the Camp Management System. The system will be first used during their 10 camp 2024 season, which starts in February and ends in November.

Results: The Camp Management System was completed and given to NubAbility Athletics Foundation on December 1st, 2024. Standard operation procedures (SOP) were created via written and video format and distributed to the organization.

Discussion: The Camp Management System was designed to be an internal infrastructure tool to help the organization leap into faster operations and scalability. Further review of the system use in the 2024 season will need to be conducted to measure the additional value of the effect of the system on the organization.
