Evaluation Capacity Analysis

The program is designed to promote improved care, more affordable care, and healthier people and communities, as well as to ensure a choice of

The purpose of this needs assessment is to identify areas where enhancements in the health care delivery system can improve both the accessibility of care as well as guide preventive health services for those most at risk for poor health outcomes. While needs assessments bring attention to the underlying factors associated with good or poor health status and sufficient access to care, LSCC is uniquely positioned as a FQHC serving almost 80,000 Central Texas residents to improve population health by forming strategic partnerships and innovative collaborations with not only other health care providers and health-related organizations, but local and state governments and community-based organizations as well. The following section identifies

A team of researchers from The George Washington University in conjunction with key leaders – evaluated the Detroit area to assess the state-of-healthcare deliverance to those in need. The problem was presented in a clear and concise manner: The uninsured and poor had limited to no access to the care they needed. Many resorted to the Emergency Department (40% of admissions were non-emergent), leading to overcrowding in the hospital. Those that are part of the safety net are providers of the poor and vulnerable populations: hospital systems, clinics, volunteers, primary care workers, and prevention workers that are there to prevent the overflow and influx that we see in the assessment. We will be addressing our main stakeholders, the

Policy making in criminal justice can be broken down into two main focal points; monitoring and evaluation. During the monitoring phase, this is where factual information about policy goals are monitored. During the evaluation phase, this is where the question arises; did the monitoring phase address the potential outcome of the intended objective? In criminal justice, the formal evaluation model would benefit these types of policies. This paper will summarize the formal evaluation model and explain why it is the most effective evaluation process in criminal justice. This paper will also look at a policy involved with criminal justice and provide reasoning

Evaluations are conducted to aid those who must make administrative decisions about human services programs” (pg. 12). As a CAP student, this really influenced my attention because it is imperative to not only know what data to collect, but how to interpret the information/statistics once the process is completed. As further stated by Royse, Thyer & Padgett (2010), “Unlike theoretical research, where scientists engage in science for its own sake, program evaluation systematically examines human services programs for pragmatic reasons” (pg. 12). Equally important, we have to remember that most of the dads attending the classes at CARS are CPS referred and are mandated to complete the eight-week curriculum before they graduate the program and are awarded their certificate of completion. In most cases, if not all that, from the once I sorted through, were required to complete the Parenting/Drug Psychoeducational Program if they wanted to pursue their parental

There were many interesting findings throughout the community but the one obvious acknowledgement from residents was the affluence of the county as one survey participant noted, "If you have means in this county, it is a tremendous place to live but if you don't, it's not such a great place." Many public health issues arose from the CHNA: chronic diseases and related risk factors, behavioral health, immunization and infectious disease, maternal and child health, environmental health, oral health, elder health and care giver needs, and health care access. Additionally, the CHIP or Community Health Improvement Plan was created in response to the CHNA with specific goals and action steps to improve the priorities that were chosen by the CHNA. Overall, the CHNA and CHIP were very comprehensive with uses of both qualitative and quantitative data and also took into consideration the opinions of vulnerable populations. However, the goals and action steps could have been more specific in their program and policy initiatives in targeting vulnerable populations and being more inclusive to those populations as a whole.

The Arizona Campaign for Action Coalition is formed of a comprehensive team of health care professionals and diverse Arizona stakeholders. Arizona has chosen multiple areas to focus on for implementation however this paper will discuss two. The first initiative for discussion will be that of the removal of the scope-of-practice barriers that face advance practice nurses in Arizona. The report states that Arizona has one of the most liberal practice scopes in The United States however nurse practitioners often have difficulty with receiving credentialing by the Arizona version of Medicaid known as AHCCCS (Randolph, Hrabe,

If an evaluation of this program were to be performed, it would be requested by administration. Administration in this agency includes, but is not limited to the president and vice president of the agency, an executive program director and his/her assistant, and a small panel of developmental board members. Staff members at Eskenazi Health would find the feedback from the evaluation beneficial, as they can use it to better the care and

As a supervisor in the U.S. Navy, I have always taken the initiative to evaluate workplace processes and procedures that can be improved for optimal effectiveness and efficiency in accomplishing organizational objectives. For example, as the work center supervisor in a military hospital pharmacy, I recognized pharmacy workload data used to capture medical expense & performance reporting was absent or incorrectly counted. I implemented quality management procedures to identify deficient system codes which were corrected. This action increased the capture of pharmacy workload data by 269%, enabling expense reporting and product cost management to be properly reported for Military Health System decision-making and performance

The effectiveness of the health care we provide at Salina Family Health Care is measured routinely. For example, there is a “health care plan” that encompasses 16 different aspects of health care that we’ve determined to be important to our patient population. For these 16 “goals” we have 34 specific interventions we’ve implemented to help us achieve these goals. We receive a monthly report of our progress toward meeting these goals which might include getting blood pressure readings below 140/90, catching women up who need a pap smear or encouraging smoking cessation in persons who smoke. This health care plan drives our practice and the feedback we receive for our efforts guide our practice daily.

In the United States there are over seven million uninsured children where Community Health Workers (CHWs) have been successfully contributing to the increased number of childhood insurance enrollments. CHWs incorporated training Parent Mentors (PMs) for soliciting other parents who would in turn educate and raise awareness to issues such as the management of asthma, provision of a supportive home environments for early learning and interventional services, increased immunization rates, identification of food insecurities, poisoning knowledge and safe farm working environments. Historically, Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Programs (CHIPs) have provided these services where the enrollees have had to overcome barriers to challenging, hard to negotiate qualifications, inequities and enrollment processes. Whereby today, in combination with PM training those deficiencies found in the Medicaid/CHIP system could be effectively overcome. As qualified PMs reach out to the public it will be necessary to implement adequate testing measures for performance, skill sets, adequate training, knowledge and effectiveness. The evaluations of those contributions will directly relate to the overall healthcare of children and what impact it will have on the overall healthcare system.

Problem/solution framework does fit well as the initial choice. However, did you think about evaluation framework? Your threats and issues can be discussed in evaluation framework “… evaluation involves determining the worth, importance, or impact of something and often implies an ethical connotation” (Ackerman, 2010). Evaluation, could provide you with the ability for different criteria, results and analysis of evaluation along with recommendation for OCS in different military operations. As you pointed out case study doesn’t fit.

On April 10th, 2017, I attended the St. Joseph’s Pediatric clinic in Providence. The purpose of this clinic was to provide care to pediatric patients, from low income households, that incorporated each child’s own development and family dynamics. The clinic emphasized preventive medicine but also provided care to pediatric patients that were nonurgent acutely ill, with illness such as ear or eye infections, coughs, etc., in a convenient community setting.

All the companies in the class started together in year 2015 with equal financials and market share as shown above.
