IHP 670 Project Guidelines and Rubric

Competencies

In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competencies:

Apply principles and best practices in program planning

Apply leadership concepts and principles that facilitate the program planning process

Determine an appropriate program evaluation methodology

Scenario

You work at a healthcare organization where a health or healthcare issue has been identified. It is your responsibility to address the issue in the organization and address that issue through

an effective health program.

When identifying your chosen health problem or issue in Module One, you conducted a needs justification to gather information on the population you intend to target and an analysis of

best evidence-based practices implemented by other organizations with similar programs. Now, you have been asked to present your needs justification and analysis results to senior

management at your organization so they can decide whether to approve the plan and implement it. Your presentation should include a program plan using the logic model, a proposed

budget, outcome measures, an evaluation methodology, and a development strategy.

Directions

Create a PowerPoint program plan presentation with speaker notes and an optional audio voice-over outlining your program plan using the logic model, outcome measures, a proposed first-

year program budget, an evaluation methodology, and a development strategy.

Note that all the claims in your program plan presentation should be evidence based. Your citations should be from your independent search for evidence (not from the scenario, textbook, or

module resources) of credible sources and be current within the last five years. You are required to cite a minimum of five sources overall. Refer to the Shapiro Library Guide: Nursing—

Graduate located in the Start Here section of the course for additional support.

Specifically, you must complete the following:

1. Introduction: Introduce your program plan, including the need for the program, the population being targeted for this program and where they live, and whether similar programs have

been successfully implemented in other organizations.

2. Program Planning: This aspect of your program plan presentation examines the components of your program plan, design, budget, and how decisions are being made regarding your

program. Specifically, address the following:

A. Program Plan Components: Explain the fundamental components of your program plan, including why these steps are important to follow when planning a program.

B. Program Design Model: Diagram the basic components of the logic model, explaining why each component is critical for designing your program. Be sure to include a completed

outcome measurement table.

C. Program Budget: Provide a proposed first-year budget for your program, including an explanation of how the budget will be sustained and the expected duration of the program.

D. Risks and Benefits: Analyze the risks and benefits of implementing this program plan, including a brief explanation about why this program implementation would be worth the

potential risks.

E. Roles of Decision-Making Principles: Discuss how systems thinking, critical analysis, and other ethical, evidence-based decision-making principles impact the planning for this

program.

3. Leadership and Communication: This aspect of your program plan presentation examines the role of team development, leadership, and communication throughout program planning,

implementation, and evaluation. It also explores the role of cultural competence, social justice, and ethics in program planning. Specifically, address the following:

A. Team Roles and Development: Describe the impact of team development on your program plan, including how you intend to utilize and support your team during program

planning, implementation, and evaluation.

4. Program Evaluation: This aspect of your program plan presentation examines the importance of program evaluation and measuring a program’s success, as well as how this information

can be shared. Specifically, address the following:

A. Importance of Evaluation: Explain why it is important to evaluate this program’s success during and after implementation and why it is necessary to determine an appropriate

methodology and outcome measures for evaluating the program.

B. Program Evaluation Methods: Compare at least three different methods of evaluating program success, including a recommendation for the most appropriate evaluation

methodology for your program.

C. Metric/Outcome Measure Definitions: Define each metric or outcome measure for the methodology you plan to use for evaluating your program’s success, including a rationale

for why each metric or outcome measure is important to successful program evaluation.

D. Data Analysis: Describe how you would analyze the data collected from your program evaluation and which type or types of results would justify continuing the program.
