Public Health Capstone
Refer to the Unit III Required Unit Resources, and review the “Example Implementation Plan,” which is provided on the Improving Patient Flow and Reducing Emergency Department Crowding: A Guide for Hospitals webpage. Use the resource as a template for developing your own implementation plan.
Identify a target population in need of a public health intervention. For example, you might decide to target low-income African American women who are overweight, and the intervention would propose an appropriate physical activity program. Another example might be targeting a sub-population with high rates of diabetes, and the intervention would be focused on changing their dietary habits.
Your implementation plan must have the components listed below.
1. Goals and Strategies
2. Problem Statement
3. Goal Statement
4. Strategy Description
5. Approach
6. Project Team Members
7. Barriers to Successful Implementation
8. Implementation Steps
9. Communication Strategy
10. Performance Measures
11. Outcomes
In the “Problem Statement” section of the implementation plan, make certain to include at least three in-text citations (and corresponding reference entries) to support the need for the plan you are developing.
Discuss at least three prior courses in the MPH program that helped to influence the public health intervention and target population selected for the implementation plan. A thorough summary that includes the premise, importance to the course and/or field, and how the information will be applied should be included.
Your plan should be at least four pages in length, be double-spaced, be typed in 12-point Times New Roman font.
Adhere to APA Style when constructing this assignment, including in-text citations and references for all sources that are used. Please note that no abstract is needed.
