- determine how it has adversely affected the org
briefly explain the methods of performance review and problem identification
determine the percentage accomplishment of each services delivery target
if percentage accomplishment is
above 110% - overaccomplishment. hence identify factor and determine if it can be considered as best practiced
below 90% - identify problem then it has to be analyzed as to the nature and scope of each problem
briefly explain the methods of health program analysis
qualitative method
analyze the views and experiences of ppl who r directly affected by the problem
this is done by focus grp discussion or interviews
= identify direct cause of the problem and the underlying reasons
quantitative method
creates problem tree - shows the cause of the probs and underlying cause
uses measurable data that provides evidence abt nature and extent of each cause’s contri to the problem
formulate an alternative solution
situational analysis is aka as
community assessment
