IHP 670 Module Eight Program Critique Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
You will complete ?ve program critique assignments in the course to support your work as you prepare for your ?nal project. These assignments ask that you critique a program described
within an identi?ed article located in the modules resources. These articles were chosen because they relate to the modules topics and demonstrate some common problems that programs
encounter. In each assignment, you will have the opportunity to critique certain program components, such as resources, activities, outcome measures, use of feedback loops, assumptions, and
external barriers. Once planners have identi?ed the details for each of the program components, they must step back and assess how those components can best operate within the programs
environment. That involves considering concepts such as cultural competency, systems thinking, ethical practice, and others. You will focus on these different concepts, in turn, through the
program critiques. As you develop your program critique skills, you will be asked to identify areas that could be or need to be improved and offer recommendations.
In this assignment, you will critique a health or healthcare program using the program critique reading in the Resources section of this module. The reading portrays example program decision-
making relevant to module content. The selected program critique reading is the required reading for this assignment.
This assignment will help you predict the importance of a system-thinking approach in program planning. It will help you consider how to construct your program planning team. This activity
will also help you understand the role of adequate communication when developing a program plan, design, and evaluation.
Findings from this assignment will help you analyze and improve your programs team development and communication aspects.
Prompt
Write a program critique that examines a health or healthcare program intended to meet a speci?c health need.
Speci?cally, you must address the following rubric criteria:
1. Systems Thinking: Explain how the program considers a systems-thinking approach in program planning. Consider the following questions to guide your response:
What role does systems thinking play in making program planning more adaptive, transparent, and evidence based?
How does systems thinking help with team development and communication?
2. Stakeholders and Team Members Roles: Analyze the roles and responsibilities of stakeholders and team members in the programs planning. Consider the following questions to guide
your response:
How did the inclusion of stakeholders help minimize the risks associated with the program?
What would you change in the given programs team-building efforts to make it more collaborative?
??
3. Communication Tools and Techniques: Determine whether the programs activities and resources use adequate communication tools and techniques to achieve the desired outcomes.
Consider the following questions to guide your response:
How did ineffective communication negatively impact the given program and its stakeholders?
What would you change to improve the communication with the stakeholders?
4. Summary and Recommendations: Summarize your ?ndings from the program analysis, and share at least two recommendations about the appropriate use of systems thinking and
inclusion of stakeholders in program planning. Consider the following question to guide your response:
How would you use systems thinking to plan the activities for the given program differently?
