9-1 Capstone Final Submission: Comprehensive Program Proposa…

Prompt

You will develop a comprehensive, professional proposal that addresses an identified healthcare issue by interpreting the existing literature regarding the issue and developing a proposal that uses evidence-based resources throughout.

Program Proposal

For your capstone proposal, you should first conduct a preliminary search of literature to help you define a healthcare problem that health-service organizations face. Limit yourself to evidence-based sources only. Choose a specific issue or problem confronting a health-service organization that you can effectively address through your capstone program proposal. Examples might include financial challenges, implementation or operationalization of new legislation, patient safety and quality, improving internal cybersecurity, or improving the organizational culture. You will identify a target audience or governing body, such as the CEO or board of directors, who would review and approve implementation of your proposal. You will also identify who will be affected by implementation.

You must include, but are not limited to including, the following sections in your program proposal. If certain elements of your program are important but not covered below, you should also include them in your proposal.

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

1. Introduction: This should include a brief statement of the issue or problem, purpose of program, and its impact. Identify the issue to be addressed and include an accurate and detailed overview of the issue, including a discussion of the effect of your identified issue on your health-service organization and any affected population. You may consider negative patient outcomes, financial implications, cultural implications, and so on. In general, include all information necessary to establish a comprehensive analysis and foundation for understanding your chosen issue and proposed program. This section should also describe the target audience to whom you would present your proposal for implementationsuch as healthcare executives, administrators, and board of directorsin relation to this proposal, and explain why your proposal would be relevant for this audience. For example, how might your proposal help hospital administrators make effective and ethical decisions surrounding patient safety and quality, culture, finance, and so on?
2. Proposal Needs Assessment: Develop a statement of need that allows the reader to learn more about your selected issue, presents evidence that supports the need for your proposal, and demonstrates that your organization understands the need and can address the issue. If the issue involves a specific affected population(s), such as employees or patients, be sure to identify that populations specific needs. Refer to the Module Two resources to discuss specific management theories that will be useful for solving the issue.
3. Resource Allocation: Provide an in-depth description of the resources required to implement your program, such as qualified staff, information-management systems, other technology and equipment, and financial resources, among others. Also describe your plan for accessing and assigning available resources in the most economical way to achieve your programs future goals. In other words, how will you schedule activities and acquire the resources required for those activities while considering both resource availability and the project timeline?
4. Planning: Provide a comprehensive program plan that includes its objectives (i.e., measurable improvements in behavior, performance, process, or a tangible item that will result from your program); ethical and legal considerations, including a review of the four ethical principles, ensuring appropriate legal and social responsibility of your proposal; financial considerations and their anticipated effect on internal policy and operations; anticipated issue-related outcomes and your plan to address them; and a timeline for meeting program objectives.
5. Implementation: Provide a detailed description of the activities leading to achieving the objectives identified, including your rationale behind their selection, their sequence, and your reasoning behind why these methods may work.
6. Evaluation Methodologies: Provide a comprehensive description of how your organization (and potential funders) will know the program is successful. Items to consider include methods for measuring success, who will be performing the evaluation, which two methods will be used (you must include one type of financial evaluation). You should also include your plan for gathering data, including the identification of the sources from where the data will be acquired (CMS, quality data, leapfrog, turnover rates, etc.), analyzing data, using evaluation for program improvements, and producing any specific evaluation reports.

Your program proposal should be submitted in a professional format. The final product is suggested to be in the range of 15 to 20 pages; however, design and proper professional presentation are more important than page count because in the real world, there are usually no page-length requirements. Therefore, the 15- to 20-page range is a suggestion, and you should use your best professional judgment regarding the length of your proposal.
