Project Management Plans for Improvement
You work at a health or healthcare organization where you identified a health or healthcare issue you believe needs to be addressed. To address this issue, you have been asked to design an effective health program. As a first step, you will conduct a needs justification to gather information on the population you intend to target, as well as an analysis of best evidence-based practices implemented by other organizations with similar programs. This work will help you identify a health or healthcare issue to be addressed through a program that you will plan with the help of your team.
You are required to work on and share your needs justification with senior management at your organization so they can decide whether to approve the plan and implement it. Then, you will use facts, statistics, and published information to identify the scope of the need and validate its relevance to the present scenario. This assignment will help you identify and validate the program idea you will use for the course project. Remember, before you begin working on future project preparation assignments and the course project, integrate the feedback you will get from your instructor.
Prompt
Write a needs justification analysis that focuses on the health or healthcare issue and the target population for your eventual program plan.
