IHP 670 Project Guidelines and Rubric
Competencies
In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competencies:
Apply principles and best practices in program planning
Apply leadership concepts and principles that facilitate the program planning process
Determine an appropriate program evaluation methodology
Scenario
You work at a healthcare organization where a health or healthcare issue has been identified. It is your responsibility to address the issue in the organization and address that issue through an
effective health program.
When identifying your chosen health problem or issue in Module One, you conducted a needs justification to gather information on the population you intend to target and an analysis of best
evidence-based practices implemented by other organizations with similar programs. Now, you have been asked to present your needs justification and analysis results to senior management
at your organization so they can decide whether to approve the plan and implement it. Your presentation should include a program plan using the logic model, a proposed budget, outcome
measures, an evaluation methodology, and a development strategy.
Directions
Create a PowerPoint program plan presentation with speaker notes and an optional audio voice-over outlining your program plan using the logic model, outcome measures, a proposed first-
year program budget, an evaluation methodology, and a development strategy.
Note that all the claims in your program plan presentation should be evidence based. Your citations 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 five sources overall. Refer to the Shapiro Library Guide: Nursing—
