Quiz W/O 3/14 pt. 1 Flashcards
Implementation
Converting plans, goals, and objectives into
action through: administrative structure, management activities, policies, procedures and regulations, organizational actions or Setting up, managing, and executing a project
What are the five phases of implementation?
Adoption of the program – a part of marketing; Identifying & prioritizing the tasks to be completed; Establishing a system of management; Putting the plans into action; Ending or sustaining a program
Adoption of the program
Phase 1 of implementation: Address community needs, and encourage community buy-in
Identifying and prioritizing Tasks
Phase 2 of implementation: Many tasks need to be completed when
implementing a program (e.g., reserving space,
ordering equipment, etc.)
Tasks need to be identified & prioritized
Planning timetables & timelines can help with this
process
Types of timetables & timelines:
Key activity charts (McDermott & Sarvela, 1999)
Task Development Timelines (Anspaugh et al., 2000)
Gantt Charts, PERT charts, & CPM
Establishing a system of management
phase 3 of implementation: Management – “the process of achieving
results through controlling human, financial,
and technical resources” (Johnson & Breckon,
2007, p. 293); “The efficient, satisfactory management of a
health promotion program is vital to its longterm
success” (Anspaugh et al., 2000, p. 124)
Putting Plans into Action
Phase 4 of implementation: Major ways of putting plans into action; Inverted triangle represents number of people involved; pilot testing, phase in, or total program
Pilot testing
trying the program out with a small group from the priority population to identify any problem ADV - opportunity to test the program and close control of the program DADV - very few involved, not meeting all needs, hard to generalize about results.
Phased-In
limiting the number of people who areexposed then gradually increasing the numbers; by
offerings, by location, by ability, by number; ADV- easier to cope with workload and gradual investment DADV - Fewer people involved.
Total Program
all in priority population exposed at same time; ADV-more people involved and evaluation more meaningful with larger group DADV - Big commitment, No chance to test program
First Day of Implementation
Program launch/Kickoff
Ending or sustaining program
phase 5 of implementation
Informed consent
Explain nature of program; Inform participants of risk & discomfort; Explain expected benefits; Inform of alternative programs; Indicate that they are free to discontinue participation at
any time; Allow participants to ask questions
Ethical Issues
Where competing values are at play & judgment must
be made on what is the most appropriate course of
action ; Code of Ethics for the Health Education Profession to
guide the work of health educators; highest standards ; The Belmont Report: Ethical Principles & Guidelines for
the Protection of Human Subject Research ; Respect for persons; Beneficence – maximizing benefits & minimizing harm ; Justice – fairness
Negligence
– failing to act in a prudent (reasonable) manner
Omission
Commission
Reducing liability
– key to avoiding liability Aware of legal liabilities Qualified instructors Good judgment Informed consent Medical clearance Limit work to expertise Safe environment Liability Insurance
Basic Time Line
The simplest of tools, it places the key activities or tasks on a line in the order that they will be completed
Task development timeline
identifies the tasks that need to be completed and the time frame in which the tasks will be completed.
Gantt Chart
a production control tool, similar to task development timeline, but also indicates the progress made toward completing the task by using different size lines to distinguish between the projected time frame for a task and the progress toward completing the task.
PERT chart
program evaluation and review technque;composed of a time table and diagram, presents a visual representation of the relationship between and among the tasks to be completed.
CPM
critical path method; similar to PERT chart, provides a graphical view of the project and predicts the time required to complete the project.
What is meant by management?
Management is the process of assembling and using sets of resources in a goal-directed manner to accomplish tasks in an organizational setting.
What are the three categories of resources that need to be managed during implementation?
Human resource management, financial management, and technical resources management.
HRM
Human resource management - PADS (personnel planning, acquisition, development, and sanctions)
Financial management
the process of developing and using systems to ensure that funds are spent for the purposes for which they have been appropriated.
Technical Resources Management
technical resources - all other resources; includes all other resources besides human or financial (communication, equipment, expertise, information, material, partnerships, relationships, space, and supplies.
