Overview

So far in this course, you have identified a health or healthcare problem and completed your needs assessment for this program. Also, you explored various program planning models and compared them to evaluate their strengths and limitations. Now, you are ready to design your program model.

Based on the findings from your program planning models analysis, you decided to use the logic model in designing your program. You will complete the logic model diagram over a few weeks to support your final presentation to your senior management. This will help them visualize your plan well before the program implementation. This assignment will help you and senior management know the resources you need to implement this program, the activities that will help you achieve the program goals, and the outcomes you want to set for the program. This is one of the essential steps before program implementation, and it helps to identify relevant implementation challenges.

Prompt

Write a brief reflection on three logic model components, explaining your reasoning behind your decisions for each.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

1. Program Title and Program Goal: Describe the program title and the overarching program goal. Consider the following question to guide your response:
   • How does the program goal address the identified problem?
2. Short-Term, Intermediate, and Long-Term Outcomes: Describe the short-term, intermediate, and long-term outcomes for the program:
   • What criteria did you use to determine the short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term outcomes?
   • Are the outcomes measurable with an estimated timeframe?
   • How will your short-term program outcomes help you achieve your long-term program outcomes?
3. Activities or Work Products: Determine the key activities or work products needed to make the program effective. Consider the following questions to guide your response:
   • Why are the identified activities or work products essential for the success of the program?
   • Which two activities do you think are most critical for the program and why?
4. Inputs or Resources: Determine the key program inputs or resources. Consider the following questions to guide your response:
   • How would you determine the inputs or resources needed for your program?
   • What challenges do you see in getting all or some of these inputs or resources?

Note that all the claims in your deliverable should be evidence based. Your citations should be from your independent search for evidence (not from the scenario, textbook, or module resources) of credible sources and be current within the last five years. You are required to cite a minimum of two sources, at least one of which should be separate from your own research. Refer to the Shapiro Library Guide: NursingGraduate located in the Start Here section of the course for additional support.

What to Submit

Your submission should include a 2- to 3-page Word document with your reflection, as well as your completed . You must fill out the required template sections for this assignment and submit the completed diagram as part of your submission.

For your reflection, include a title page. Use 12-point Times New Roman font, double spacing, and one-inch margins. A minimum of two sources is required. Sources should be cited according to APA style.

IHP 670 Module Four Program Critique Guidelines and Rubric

Overview

You will complete five program critique assignments in the course to support your work as you prepare for your final project. These assignments ask that you critique a program described within an identified article located in the modules resources. These articles were chosen because they relate to the modules topics and demonstrate some common problems that programs encounter. In each assignment, you will have the opportunity to critique certain program components, such as resources, activities, outcome measures, use of feedback loops, assumptions, and external barriers. Once planners have identified the details for each of the program components, they must step back and assess how those components can best operate within the programs environment. That involves considering concepts such as cultural competency, systems thinking, ethical practice, and others. You will focus on these different concepts, in turn, through the program critiques. As you develop your program critique skills, you will be asked to identify areas that could be or need to be improved and offer recommendations.

In this assignment, you will critique a health or healthcare program selected for you. It is the program critique reading in the Resources section of the module. This is the only reading that can be used for this assignment. Describe the resource requirements of the given program and provide justification for the inclusion or exclusion of resources used in the program. Also, offer suggestions for improving the programs resource use.

This assignment will familiarize you with the flaws and shortfalls in resource planning and help you understand how to avoid or address them.

Prompt

Write a program critique that critically examines a health or healthcare program intended to meet a specific health need.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

1. Resource Requirement: Describe whether the resources required for the given program were justified. Consider the following questions to guide your response:
   • How does a programs resource requirement planning influence the overall success of the program?
   • How did you conclude whether the resource requirements for the given program were justified?
2. Improvement Areas: Describe two areas of improvement the organization in the given scenario could consider regarding resource requirements. Consider the following question to guide your response:
   • How will your suggestions help improve the programs overall success?

Note that all the claims in your deliverable should be evidence based. Your citations should be from your independent search for evidence (not from the scenario, textbook, or module resources) of credible sources and be current within the last five years. You are required to cite a minimum of two sources overall. Refer to the Shapiro Library Guide: NursingGraduate located in the Start Here section of the course for additional support.
