A
Community forums
Focus groups
Key informants
Indicators approach –census
Survey of existing agencies
Surveys
22
Q

Assessment

A

Identify target population and involve them in designing the program.
The interdisciplinary planning team must verify that a health concern exists.
Health education may be necessary to alert the population to the health concern
Determine the size and location of the population.
Determine boundaries (to stipulate who is included or excluded).
Identify available resources.
Use all relevant assessment data

23
Q

Health program planning process:

A

The organized approach to identifying and choosing interventions to meet specific goals and objectives that address client health concerns
Goal is to ensure that health care services are acceptable, equitable, efficient, and effective

24
Q

A

Putting the health program planned activities into action

25
Q

Community Health Program Planning: Evaluation

A

“the systematic process of appraising all aspects of a program to determine its impact” (Stanhope et al., 2012)
Needs to start early in the process
Ideally should be designed at the same time as the health program planning process
This is the method used to determine whether a program or service is required and likely to be used, whether it is conducted as planned, and whether it had the desired effect
An ongoing process of reflecting on plans, action and results to programs can be improved along the way and at the conclusion

26
Q

Societal Influences on Health Programs

A

Health programs are experiencing greater public scrutiny because:
Limited resources
Increased demand for accountability
Growing emphasis on individual rights
Advocacy groups

According to the Canadian Community Health Nursing Standards of Practice, planning encompasses:
Traditional terms such as ‘nursing process’, ‘problem solving’, clinical judgement’, ‘critical thinking’, and ‘decision making’

Data gathering-look at a broad definition of health, best practices
Decision making-timely decisions in process, proceed or not, allocation of resources, political contexts

Target (how much)
Priority population (who)
Outcome (What)
Conditions (When)

40

Q

43
Q

5 steps to PATCH Model

A

evaluation
44
Q

A

The should be ongoing to assess the progress of the program at each stage as well as the program activities, with feedback of the results directed to the community
