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
