Q

program planning

Study These Flashcards
A

series of decisions, from general and strategic decisions to specific operational details, based on the gathering and analysis of a wide range of information

25
implementation
putting plans into action (pilot, phase in, full scale -> this is our goal to get to but may not be where we start)
25
evaluation
involves assessing the strengths and weaknesses of programs, policies, personnel, products, and organizations to improve their effectiveness allows us to distinguish worthwhile programs from ineffective ones, launch new programs or revise existing programs
26
building blocks of planning and evaluating
1. engaging stakeholders 2. theory 3. planning models
27
steps of planning
1. engage the community 2. assess needs and assets 3. prioritize health issues (set goals and objectives) 4. develop the plan ( select theory-based methods and strategies) 5. implement and monitor plan 6. evaluate program effectiveness
28
components of solid planning commitee
strong objectives-> strong methods-> strong outcomes
29
types of evaluations
process evaluation: monitoring the progress of implementation summative evaluation: done to understand the "end products"
30
key differences between the models
types of data, recommended sources, specific indicators how and who to engage in the process sophistication of the model and the length of time required, broad versus specific focus, lead organization that the tool or framework is focused toward
31
CDC framework of evaluation
engage stakeholders, describe the program, focus the evaluation design, gather credible evidence, justify conclusions, ensure use and share lessons learned
32
needs assessment
to assess actual and perceived needs - helps us gain insight or determine necessary inputs - inclusion of 'assets' to ensure the assessment is not deficit focused
33
why we conduct needs assessments?
goal: identify and develop an effective plan to address the health needs (policy, program, intervention)
34
community participation in needs assessment
when active participation occurs, people: learn better, are more likely to assume ownership and responsibility for resulting programs, are more likely to apply and maintain resulting programs
35
public health surveillance
the continuous, systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of health-related data
36
types of public health surveillance
emotional, environmental, social, intellectual, physical, spiritual
37
types of data collection methods
qualitative ( social reconnaissance, group processes, interviews, observations, photovoice, document review) quantitative ( surveys, epidemiological indices, physiological measurements, etc
38

41
fragmented healthcare system
not centralized system (no control the healthcare system), multi-payers (government, insurance company), power balancing ( many interests groups in the market), litigation risk (risk of malpractice lawsuits), high technology (higher preference on using new technology)

43
medicaid
families with children receiving support under the TANF program, people receiving supplemental security income or children and pregnant women whose family income is at or below 133% of the FPL; finance healthcare services; medicaid expansion under the ACA-> legal US residents younger than age 65 with income up to 138% of the FPL; out of 50 state, 37 states adopted and 14 states did now
44
affordable care act
individual mandate; medicaid expansion below 138% FPL; marketplace enrollment; prohibit denial of coverage due to pre-existing conditions all US citizens are required to have health insurance or pay penalty; the expansion of medicaid eligibility to 138% of Federal Poverty Level; a service for purchasing health insurance; health insurance companies can't refuse to cover or charge people more due to pre-existing conditions

48
co-payment
a modest fixed fee for each medical visit, charged to patients who have health insurance. remainder of bill is paid by the health insurance company or the managed care organization

50
community health centers
private, nonprofit organizations that directly or indirectly (through contracts and cooperative agreements) provide primary health services and related services to residents o a defined geographical area that is medically underserved
51
rationing
allocation of goods in the face of scarcity. in medical care, rationing deliberately limits access to some services through tradeoffs between costs and benefits
52
healthcare management
manages the business side of healthcare; allows providers to focus on the patient while they take care of the 'paperwork'; works in a variety of health care setting and non-healthcare organizational settings
53

Models used to help integrate telehealth into the healthcare system
adopting hub-and-spoke deployment=small team was hub and each section, division, or practice was a spoke

57
key categories and strategies to intervene on Social Determinants of Health
patient care-focused strategies: social risk-informed care, social risk-targeted care community health strategies: financial resources, community partnerships
