Program Implementation

Front 1

Program implementation

Back 1

Phase 1 adoption of the program. Phase 2 Identifying & prioritizing the tasks to be completed. . Phase 3. Establishing a System of Management Phase 4: Putting plans into action. Phase 5: Ending or sustaining a program.

Front 2

Total implementation

Back 2

initiating the total pgm all at once, in most situations this would be a mistake. Should be phased in or piloted.

Front 3

Phase 5

Back 3

Ending or sustaining a program, sets how long a program will run and resources what will happen if objectives and goals are not yet met.

Front 4

Phase 4

Back 4

Putting plans into action is done by using a piloting process, phasing it in, in small segments.

Front 5

Phase 3

Back 5

Establishing a System of Management this involves controlling human, financial and technical resources…depending on how big the program is it can be done by one or more persons. It is complex.

Front 6

Phase 2

Back 6

Identifying & prioritizing the tasks to be completed. Like space for pgm, enough material to hand out, audio visual, speakers. Often planners use a timetable for these tasks. A key activity chart may be used.

Front 7

Phase 1

Back 7

adoption of the program through good marketing skills that will encourage the priority population.

Front 8

inverted triangle

Back 8

The triangle represents the # of people involved in the pgm based on strategy used. (total program, phased in, pilot) .

Front 9

Ending or Sustaining a Program

Back 9

determines how long a program will run. Biggest challenge for planners is to sustain a pgm when the goals and objectives have not been met. (phase 5)

Front 10

Techniques that have helped planners to maintain programs

Back 10

working to institutionalize the program, advocacy for the program, partnership with other organizations and agencies with similar missions and revisiting the rationale used to create the program initially.

Front 11

Gannt chart

Back 11

developed in 1917 by Henry Gannt as a production control tool. (used in phase 2) provides an indication of 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.

Front 12

Pilot testing

Back 12

allows planners to work out any bugs before a pgm is offered to a larger population and to validate the work that has been completed up to this point. It is tested in a similar setting with people like those in the priority population.

Front 13

What kind of assistance can you get from Pilot testing

Back 13

You can work out bugs and see if the intervention strategies were implemented as planned, if they worked, if you had adequate resources and if the participants of the pilot group had an opportunity to evaluated the pgm.

Front 14

Phasing in

Back 14

When there is a very large population we want to phase in the program. This can be done in the following ways: By different pgm offerings, limit on # of participants, choice of location & participant ability.

Front 15

Advantages of Phasing in

Back 15

gradual investment/ easier to cope with workload, It allows the planners to have more control over the program.

Front 16

Disadvantages of Phasing in

Back 16

Fewer people involved

Front 17

First day of Implementation

Back 17

a.k.a program kick off, 1. can coincide with a holiday…or any other relevant event 2.Kick off the program in style, having a first day special event. 3. consider news coverage in print/and or broadcast.

Front 18

Negligence

Back 18

Failing to act in a reasonable (prudent) person manner.

Front 19

omission

Back 19

failing to do something when you should IE: failure to warm participants of inherent dangers.

Front 20

commission

Back 20

doing something you should not be doing IE: teaching an aerobic class with no training.

Front 21

reduce liability

Back 21

providing a safe pgm: safe location, ensuring that facilities are free of hazardous materials, creating an appropriate emergency plan., use certified instructors, required participants to get medical clearance, purchase liability insurance for all staff.

Front 22

Anonymity

Back 22

exists when no one , not even planners can relate a participant’s identity to any information pertaining to the program.

Front 23

Confidentiality

Back 23

the planners are aware of the participants’ identities and have promised not to reveal them to others.

Front 24

HIPPA

Back 24

(health insurance portability and accountability act) National standard, for health plans, healthcare clearinghouses, and healthcare providers who conduct healthcare transactions electronically must implement to protect and guard against the misuse of individually identifiable health information.

Front 25

News hook

Back 25

Something that would make the media want to cover the launch of a program. The planner’s org may have newsworthy data or information related to the health problem being targeted by the program. Human interest stories also make for good news hooks.

Front 26

Informed consent

Back 26

explain the purpose of the pgm, inform of risks and benefits, inform the participants of alternative pgms and indicate that the participants are free to discontinue at any time.

Front 27

Code of ethics

Back 27

program planners having integrity, and being honest, loyal and accountable. Many of the ethical issues that program planners will face revolve around the Belmont Report: Respect for Persons, Beneficence, and Justice.. The Hippocratic maxim ‘do no harm’ also applies to health educators.

Front 28

Principle of Beneficence

Back 28

protect the participants by maximizing anticipated benefits and minimizing harm.

Front 29

Ethical Responsibility to the public

Back 29

situations where competing values are at play and program planners need to make a judgment about what is the most appropriate course of action.

Front 30

Why should we keep others informed about program progress

Back 30

accountability, public relations, motivation of present participants and recruitment of new participants.
