IHP 670 Module Six Project Preparation Guidelines and Rubric

Overview

The fourth component of the logic model is feedback loops, which you have explored in this module. Feedback loops help achieve con�nuous communica�on throughout the program’s life

cycle.

Before your program implementa�on begins, it’s important to iden�fy the barriers and risks associated with it. Iden�fying barriers and risks to program implementa�on will help you minimize

them and enhance the benefits. Also, you must plan a strategy to implement feedback loops in a program’s life cycle to achieve con�nuous improvement in your program. Feedback loops are

necessary components of the logic model for planning a program.

This assignment will help you complete more of the logic model diagram—feedback loops and external barriers—which you will use in the course project presenta�on. The final component,

assump�ons, will be added in the final project.

Prompt

Write a short report to describe your program’s barriers, risks, and benefits and the feedback loops and communica�on pathways in your program plan.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

1. Role of Feedback Loops and Communica�on Pathways: Describe the feedback loops and communica�on pathways you intend to use in your program and how they will help achieve

con�nuous communica�on. Consider the following ques�ons to guide your response:

How might feedback loops and communica�on pathways help in recognizing adjustments necessary based upon ini�al outcome results?

How would you know that a specific ac�vity is not func�oning correctly?

2. Life Cycle of Program’s Adjustment Needs: Describe the process for iden�fying your program’s adjustment needs. Consider the following ques�on to guide your response:

What design elements would you consider to iden�fy improvement needs?

3. Con�nuous Improvement: Describe the benefits of con�nuous quality improvement ac�vi�es during program development and implementa�on. Consider the following ques�on to

guide your response:

How would you use PDSA/PDCA—plan, do, study or check, and act—method to ensure the con�nuous improvement for your program?

4. Barriers, Risks, and Benefits: Determine the external barriers, risks, and benefits of implemen�ng the program, explaining why these elements are important to consider. Consider the

following ques�ons to guide your response:

What are the two external barriers and two risks you think might poten�ally impact the program’s success?

What would you do to minimize those risks and eliminate those external barriers?

What would you do to enhance benefits?

Note that all the claims in your deliverable should be evidence based. Your cita�ons 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 two sources overall. Refer to the Shapiro Library Guide: Nursing—Graduate

located in the Start Here sec�on of the course for addi�onal support. If you need wri�ng support, access the Online Wri�ng Center through the Academic Support module of your course.

What to Submit

Your submission should be a 2- to 3-page Word document. Also include a �tle page. Use 12-point Times New Roman font, double spacing, and one-inch margins. Sources should be cited

according to APA style.
