Program Proposal

1. Program Proposal
Brittany Ekstein

3. Political, economic,
social, and
technological
factors
 Political factors such as government policies will affect Amara’s Hope. Economic factors would be how much
money the organization can bring in from donations and how well the organization is with a given budget.
Social factors will mainly deal with faith-based factors and my lack of a specific faith I believe in. I do not
believe I can do a faith-based organization. I do not think technological factors will play a significant role in
my organization other than the cost of said technology.

4. Culture & Diversity
In my community, there are a lot of Mexicans
who speak primarily Spanish and have a very
different culture than my own. I would bring
in workers or volunteers who know how to
speak Spanish and other languages and have
a better insight into different cultures than
myself.

9. Information System
I will measure the accomplishment of my organization's objectives
through a performance management system. First, a team and I will
identify and catalog core activities within the organization. Then we will
define how the activities address the organization's mission and ultimate
goal by selecting a combination of metrics that highlight the success and
impact of each activity and make a measurement-driven portfolio
management system with data collection tools.
I will document changes by choosing the proper outcomes and setting
goals with measurable outcomes. I will use ROM, which is routine
outcomes monitoring. This system monitors patients’ responses to
treatment and identifies those at risk of a bad outcome and those who are
progressing as expected.

10. Program Evaluation
I plan to use a mix of quantitative and qualitative
methods to measure clients' perceptions of the
program. I will set up a weekly or biweekly time for
clients to complete a five-point rating scale
questionnaire to rate their satisfaction with the
program delivery. I chose this method because I want
to know how the clients feel about their treatment and
services throughout the program and see if they feel
they are progressing at the same rate that we think
they are. Also, this method is both qualitative and
quantitative because I plan to have a broad survey
that includes both open and close-ended questions.
I will use the ASAM Criteria, which is a set of
guidelines for placement, continued stay, transfer, or
discharge of patients with addiction and co-occurring
conditions. The ASAM Criteria follows six
dimensions of multidimensional assessment.
1. Acute intoxication
and/or withdrawal
potential
2. Biomedical
conditions and
complications
3. Emotional, behavioral,
or cognitive conditions
and complications.
4. Readiness to change
5. Relapse, continued
use, or continued
problem potential
6. Recovering/living
environment
These criteria are how I will measure whether a
client is doing well
