12- Program development planning, implementation, evaluation Flashcards
What is community assessment?
It is the routine, systematic collection, and analysis of data regarding the health of the community.
It involves conducting needs assessment, including statistics on health and status/trends
What is surveillance?
It is the continual collection of data on health outcomes, risk factors and intervention strategies for the whole population or representative samples of a population
What is the purpose of a community assessment?
It helps us identify factors that affect oral health
It helps determine the availability of resources and interventions
What does programing planning encompass?
It encompasses multiple things such as:
1.) Mission
2.) Goals
3.) Objectives
4.) Interventions
5.) Activities
6.) Timeline
7.) Budget
What is an assets-oriented approach?
It is what strengths exist in the community - existing funds, workforce, materials, facilities
What is a deficiency-based approach?
Focuses on what you don’t have/limits - what problems exist/difficult to look at the big picture
What is a mission statement?
It is a single statement of the BROAD, the overarching purpose of the program’s existence.
To + directional statement + quality of life/category of service areas + target group
to improve the oral health of school aged children in Beaverlodge
What are program goals?
they are multiple, broad statements of desired long-term or short-term changes that will address identified needs if achieved
It is MORE SPECIFIC than the mission statement.
To + directional statement + need area + target population
to decrease decay in elementary school children in Beaverlodge
What are program objectives?
- Guide the program interventions, with an outcome focus
- Often have multiple objectives for each goal
To + directional statement + changed in client or environment + target population
to decrease consumption of sugary snacks by 50% in schools by the end of the school year
What is program intervention?
It is task-oriented and matched to goals and identifies what the program will provide
to + action term + units of service + target population
e.g: to conduct annual oral health screenings at all elementary schools in Beaverlodge
What are the 4 types of program interventions?
1.) Educational
2.) Direct service
3.) Organizational
4.) Power
What are program activities?
2 different types:
Direct and indirect activities
Direct: steps involved in the ACTUAL delivery of the intervention
Indirect: the “behind-the-scenes” steps needed to ensure delivery of the intervention (supportive steps)
How does program failure occur?
Occurs due to inadequate funding + lack of resources
What is the implementation phase?
It is the area where we are incorporating our improvement strategies to include in our policy.
What is the 1st rule of implementation?
Clearly specify the program objectives and identify the chosen strategy
What is the 2nd rule of implementation?
Be sure that someone is responsible for the whole activity and coordinates individuals who may carry out the different tasks
What is the 3rd rule of implementation?
Identify all the preparatory steps prior to doing that activity
What is the 4th rule of implementation?
List the steps in the order in which they occur
What is the 5th rule of implementation?
Identify any missing steps
What is the 6th rule of implementation?
Determine when each step should behind and end (calendar and timeline)
