/0 Comments/in /by

Read the case study “Guideline Development Project for Public Health Practice” in your supplemental textbook, JPHMP’s 21 Public Health Case Studies on Policy & Administration. Consider the project through the lens of implementation strategy and planning. In a 4-5 page paper, answer the questions below: Were the Scope, Work Breakdown, Risk Management, and any other aspects presented/discussed?

How were stakeholders engaged? Draw parallels between the processes followed by the Council on Linkages and those described in the textbook under “Implementation Planning” and “Setting Up to Succeed.” For example, did the Council establish lines of authority and accountability for implementation and consider how the effort interacts with other initiatives and programs already underway? Did the Council identify the tasks to be performed and the individuals or units with responsibility for the tasks? Comment on the composition of the panels and observers selected for consideration of the 4 topics in the feasibility study. Were these panels inclusive? What criteria were used for the selection of these individuals? Finally, The Guideline Project resulted in an independent task force of the US PHS on Community Preventive Services operated and staffed by the CDC. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this effort being carried out by a federal agency? Is this truly an independent effort?
