As the new business analyst for your health organization, you are charged with the task of completing a community needs assessment in order to support the Chief Executive Officer’s proposed mobile clinic unit. The unit will contain a variety of services including health education, medical and dental screenings, HIV testing, a syringe exchange program, and diabetes, asthma, and cardiovascular disease management services. Your first step in conducting the needs assessment is to develop a draft of the proposal of the assessment for your CEO’s approval. Once the CEO has approved the assessment proposal, the complete assessment will be conducted.
Instructions
Your draft of the proposed preliminary assessment should include:
· An executive summary outlining the challenges facing the local community (you may focus on any community, including your own).
· In order to draft a proposal, you’re going to need to include an executive summary, which is always done at the end. The reason why you do an executive summary at the end is so that you can make sure that you’re summarizing the components that are found in the actual document. OK, so so.
· You’ll start with a description of the community’s population, a discussion of the potential barriers, an assessment of key indicators that the clinic is needed and recommendations for resources. And then you’re going to make sure that you include an actual survey instrument, so your executive.
· Summary will come at the front at the first. The first thing the reader will see is your executive summary, but that executive summary won’t be completed until the end. So you’ll create your description of the community’s population, looking at, you know, what their demographics are, and then you’re going to be looking at any potential barriers.
·
· A description of the community’s population (age, median income, educational status, and other relevant factors describing the community). You will need to research the demographics in your selected community using sites such as the Kaiser Family Foundation .
· A discussion of the potential barriers that may restrict access to care.
· An assessment of key indicators that a mobile clinic is necessary (e.g., high incidence of obesity or drug dependence).
· So why do, how do we know that this clinic is needed? And that’s where you’re going to come in to include some statistics
· Recommendations for resources, both human and technical.
· So what are you, what are your needs?
· Is it technology needs? Is it staffing needs? Whatever your needs are.
