Q

briefly explain the preparatory phase of planning for programs and services

A

performance review and problems identification for each health programs
- involves assessing the accomplishment of each program
- focus on the accomplishment of service targets and difficulties encounters in the delivery

analysis of the problem
tips:
- ensure accurate identification of problem
- quantify magnitude of the probs
- differentiate btwn external manifestation of the problem and real nature and scope of the problem
- never settle for incomplete description
- determine how it has adversely affected the org

Q

briefly explain the methods of performance review and problem identification

A

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

Q

briefly explain the methods of health program analysis

A

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

Q

briefly explain situational analysis

A

process of identifying important health- related probs
helps properly understand the situation before formulating health projects, strategies and activities to address the problem

aside from review of records, consult the concerned health officials through
- community assemblies and regular grp discussion
- dialogues w key leaders (courtesy call) to seek their support

Q

briefly explain community assessment

A

detailed analysis of health resources present (infrastructure)
- health facilities, equipment and infra is available, gd working condition and sufficient to meet the heeds.

detailed description of health condition of the community
- get info abt their current health status (birth, death, life expectancy rates,)

review of the mandate and purpose of the local gov
- roles and responsibilities of the local gov to check if their purpose is aligned w addressing the identified health needs of the community. it helps understand if the local authorities have the proper mission and means to effectively tackle the health probs

in summary, it helps identify the HEALTH RESOURCES available, the HEALTH CONDITIONS of ppl and whether the local authorities (LOCAL GOVERNMENT ROLE) are equipped to tackle the health problems in the community

22
Q

define problem analysis

A

it is the identification of health related issues and concerns logically follows situation analysis of the community

in simple terms:
to understand the problem (cause and effect) and develop solutions to address the probs

23
Q

is a visual tool used to identify the root causes of a problem and its effects. It helps in understanding the relationships between different aspects of a problem

A

problem tree

24
Q

briefly explain the problem list

A

it is a list of statement that describes gaps/ weakness related to the main problem

problem list includes:
Health service delivery
Health information system
Human resources for health
Health financing
Policy, standards, and regulations
Governance for health

25
Q

problem analysis is construct of

A

problem tree
objective tree
alternative tree

26
Q

where does the identified problems are appraised in

A

decision matrix

appraised in = carefully evaluate/ assess

27
Q

briefly explain decision matrix

A

identifying the problems and possible solutions, evaluate and prioritize these alternatives

compare and prioritize the different alternative solutions by scoring them

the alternative with the highest total weighted score is considered the best preferred option based on the criteria used

the highest score wld merit the no. ranked problem which will then be designated as the priority problem

=helps in decision-making

28
Q

give examples of criteria in decision matrix

A

magnitude of the problem
importance of the solution
feasibility of solution
budget

(Feasibility refers to whether something is possible, practical, and achievable given the existing circumstances, resources, and constraints.)

29
Q

it is a methodology to systematically identify the possible contributory factors that lead to the formation of health problem

A

problem tree

30
Q

how do you start the problem tree

A

by stating the MAIN problem

31
Q

it is the cause and effect network

A

problem tree

32
Q

how to create a problem tree

A
  1. start with stating the MAIN problem
  2. if problem includes several conditions, identify and include them
  3. identify direct factors, the underlying factors and root factors for each conditions associated with the main problem
  4. core problem (highest ranked) which has emerged form the decision matrix is analyzes as its root causes and effects
  5. provide evidence-based estimate on the nature and extent of each cause of the problem
33
Q

it is the general objectives

A

objective tree

34
Q

the objective tree includes

A

specific objectives
sub-objectivities
pri and sec benefits

35
Q

it is based on the objective tree, identification of alternatives to solve the core problem and the choice of best option

A

alternative tree

36
Q

briefly explain the difference between the problem tree, objective tree and alternative tree in simple terms

A

The problem tree identifies the problem, its causes, and effects.

The objective tree outlines the desired solutions or objectives to address the problem.

The alternative tree explores different strategies or options to achieve those objectives.

37
Q

what are the purpose of developing a plan in project planning proper

A

formalize commitment to achieve vision of a program
guide implementation of the program
seek formal approval from executive management and budgetary support

38
Q

define obstacle matrix

A

it is the analysis of obstacle in health service implementation

39
Q

obstacle matrix involves the ____ and ____ that are specifically management problems

A

identification of barriers
constraints

40
Q

define and briefly explain constraints

A

factors that adversely affect the effectiveness and efficiency

  1. the plan for developing management projects is based on the assumption that program took place address obstacles identified through obstacle matrix
  2. improve existing program that is facing obstacles tht prevent from being implemented efficiently and effectively = overcome obstacle and strengthen program’s implementation

3.soultion chosen to address these obstacles were carefully selected. if successful implemented = improve program
