Running head: EVALUATION OF CLINICAL PRACTICE: PROGRAM EVALUATION EVALUATION OF PRACTICE: PROGRAM EVALUATION Title Page Adhering to APA 6th Edition Standards Abstract This will be the summary for the paper. Agency/Program Provide a narrative description of the program and the agency (e.g., theoretical model/framework, agency mission, program goals, target population, community context, need being addressed by the program, length and duration, mode of delivery etc.). Review of the Literature Present a comprehensive review of the “best practice” literature associated with the target population’s identified need (e.g., best practices for preventing teen pregnancy among adolescent girls; best practices for intervening with substance using older adult veterans; best practices for improving parenting skills and family functioning). In this section, students must attend to the best practices associated with a given problem area (e.g. teen pregnancy, substance use, poor parenting skills), as well as relevant developmental (adolescence, adulthood, older adulthood) and cultural (e.g., race/ethnicity, immigration status, military/war culture) factors. Program Assessment Here you provide the finding of your assessment of program performance in the domains of service utilization and program organization. Be sure that you answer each of the following questions. NOTE: You can present these findings in question/answer format. Yes or No responses are not acceptable – you must be analytical in your assessment and provide deep well thought out responses. How many persons are receiving services? Are those receiving services the intended targets? Are they receiving the proper amount, type, and quality of service? Students will evaluate the extent to which their agency’s program is consistent with best practices. This section requires specific examples of how the agency’s program is/is not supported by the best practice literature. Are there targets who are not receiving services or subgroups within the target population who are underrepresented among those receiving services? Are members of the target population aware of the program? Are necessary program functions being performed adequately? Is staffing sufficient in numbers and competencies for the functions that must be performed? Is the program well organized? Does staff work well with each other? Does the program coordinate effectively with the other programs and agencies with which it must interact? Are resources, facilities, and funding adequate to support important program functions? Are resources used effectively and efficiently? Is the program in compliance with requirements imposed by its governing board, funding agencies, and higher-level administration? Is the program in compliance with applicable professional and legal standards? Is performance at some program sites or locales significantly better or poorer than at others? Are participants satisfied with their.

THIS WEEK’S WORK IS TWO DISCUSSIONS. Week 6: Social Change and Professional Development The characteristics of program design and evaluationare intended to provide some level of recommended change or action as a result of the systematic investigation into a program’s effectiveness. Evaluation can provide answers to questions about a program that may be useful in adjusting a program to become more effective. Because evaluation results in insight about the effectiveness of a program for a specific population, evaluation can be used to implement social change or action. Evaluation findings may assist stakeholders (those who hold an interest) or decision makers in go/no-go decisions about specific program modifications or initiate the continuation or demise of the entire program. Today, social policy and public administrative movement are closely associated with social program outcomes and effective evaluations. This week, you present your design for a program addressing the needs of the homeless population in your community and analyze how your program may effect social change. You also evaluate your potential to impact areas of human services delivery and assess the benefits of participating in professional human services organizations. Objectives By the end of this week, you should be able to: · Analyze how human services program design and evaluation influence social change · Evaluate personal impact on areas of human services delivery · Analyze how professional organizations contribute to professional development Learning Resources Required Readings Kettner, P.

For this assignment, you will choose an organization to analyze. This organization can be one you are personally familiar with, or one you have observed to be an effective organization, You now become a newly appointed senior leader in that organization. As a new leader, you must prepare a report for the CEO that assesses the organization’s overall alignment between its vision, mission, values, and strategy. This report should consist of the following sections: An analysis of the strategic cascade of the organization This includes assessing the organization’s strategy and market position. Use the framework implied in Michael Porter’s (1997) article “What is Strategy.” When describing the business strategy of your organization, consider the following questions: What is the target market (target customer)? What is your organization's value proposition (How does it deliver value that satisfies the target’s wants and needs?)? How is your product or service positioned in the market (What specific features and attributes define the product/service and how is its value reflected in its pricing, distribution, marketing communications, etc.?)? How is your organization sustainably different from your competitors (What is the source of uniqueness and how sustainable is it from being diminished by competitors?)? A strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis A SWOT analysis is a strategy planning tool that examines both internal and external environments for factors and trends that should shape planning and operations over the next five years. Environmental factors internal to the company are classified as strengths (to be leveraged) or weaknesses (to be mitigated), while external factors are classified as either opportunities (to be pursued) or threats (to be monitored and responded to). Some primer questions for the SWOT analysis include the following: Strengths What advantages does your organization have? What do you do better than anyone else? What unique or lowest-cost resources can you draw upon that others cannot? What do people in your market see as your strengths? What factors mean that you "get the sale"? What is your organization's unique selling proposition (USP)? Weaknesses What aspects of your product or service could you improve? What market segments or competitive areas should you avoid? What are people in your market likely to see as weaknesses? What factors can make you lose sales? Opportunities What good opportunities can you spot? What interesting trends are you aware of? Useful opportunities can come from such things as the following: Changes in technology and markets on both a broad and narrow scale Changes in government policy related to your field Changes in social patterns, population profiles, lifestyle changes, and so on Local events Threats What obstacles do you face? What are your competitors doing? Are quality standards or specifications for your j ...

COMM 101—COMMUNICATION IN THE 21st CENTURY Organizational Analysis of Power, Negotiation & Social Change Description Overview Organizations move us. We identify as members of organizations easily (I’m a Husker, a Tri-Delt, a Soprano, a farmer, a firefighter), and it makes sense—we spend most of our time living, breathing, and organizing with others. Organizations are the places where we play (sports leagues, hobbies), where we work (businesses, non-profits, schools), where we recharge (places of non/worship and mindfulness), where we heal (hospitals), and as this paper analyzes, where we change or negotiate problematic aspects of society (social movements, political parties, charities or any of the previously noted groups). In this project, we are asking you to focus your attention on how organizations negotiate and change (inequalities) of power. Embodying the ethic and metaphor of the “Organizational Detective,” you are tasked with questioning, tracing, and analyzing how an organization of your choice attempts social change and the communication about or through which that action functions. This isn’t an easy task; social change can be a complicated, messy, and sometimes awkward topic—which is exactly why we need to explore the potentials and pitfalls that arise when this work is done! This perspective is a bit of a shift in how we might typically think of organizations generally—instead of asking you to look at the communication used to manage an organization or drive efficiency, we want you to think about the social change communication that is organizing the people, objects, and purposes of this group, as well as the power imbued within those actions and its many consequences. Though this document spends most of its efforts describing what this organizational analysis is, we want to take a moment to describe what it is not. This is not an organizational biography. Though the history of a company or group and its inception are important generally, the goal of this paper is to track down and analyze the current communication and work that the organization is doing about/for social change specifically. Furthermore, this is not an analysis of just customer-provider relations. The focus of this project is on the organization’s action toward social change, not its efficiency status. And finally, this is not an interview summary or reading report. This isn’t a literature review. We want you to work towards following the mystery of how social change is approached and to articulate what your group creatively and critically sees as the delightfully messy effects of this organization’s work related to power. Below, we outline in detail the requirements for this project, its rubric, and a plan for successfully writing this analysis. Requirements • 5 page group research report, doubled-spaced, 12pt Times New Roman, 1 inch margins • At least three credible sources utilized in the analysis: on ...

Week 2: Mission and Vision The mission statement . . . influences the development of an organization’s philosophy, goals, objectives, policies, procedures, and rules. An organization will never be greater than the vision that guides it. —Bessie L. Marquis and Carol J. Huston, Leadership Roles and Management Functions in Nursing: Theory and Application Mission and vision statements articulate an organization’s core purpose and future aims. Well-crafted statements can stand the test of time, even as the environment changes and new priorities emerge. On the other hand, some adjustments may be needed if and when an organization undergoes foundational transformation. Consider the following mission statement: “Kaiser Permanente exists to provide affordable, high quality healthcare services to improve the health of our members and the communities we serve” (Kaiser Permanente, n.d.). Think about the current health care environment and the types of internal and external changes that could affect the utility and appropriateness of this statement. Under what circumstances should an organization such as this one contemplate revising its mission? As a nurse leader-manager, it is critical to realize the important role of mission and vision statements in guiding an organization. In the first week of this course, you examined the planning hierarchy. This week, you consider mission and vision statements, which are at the top of the planning hierarchy because of the significant influence they exert on an organization. You practice the skills needed to craft appropriate mission and vision statements, and you consider how to develop these for maximum impact that reaches beyond the stated words to influence the plans and decisions made throughout an organization or system. Note: Over the next few weeks you will be engaging in small group discussions. These are meant to provide you with the opportunity to deeply explore the foundational concepts being presented. Much of the work you engage in moving forward will hinge upon your understanding of these concepts, hence, the small group opportunity to discuss and share. Learning Objectives Students will: · Analyze the relationship of mission and vision statements to the planning hierarchy within organizations · Analyze the process of developing mission and vision statements · Evaluate mission and vision statements Photo Credit: Nicolevanf/RooM/Getty Images Learning Resources Note: To access this week’s required library resources, please click on the link to the Course Readings List, found in the Course Materials section of your Syllabus.

Module 1 Overview The purpose, function, and application of strategic planning in health care administration is studied. Content includes strategic planning, situational analysis, strategy formulation, action planning, and metrics. Leader qualities are used in this module to effectively identify strategic issues, develop a team, and develop a plan of action for overall improvement. Organizational behavior is examined to view its impact on organization vision/mission, organizational goals, organizational communication, and the diverse environment of professionals in health care organizations. Strategic planning models can offer a range of opportunities to an organization. The National Criminal Justice Association (2017) recommends the following strategic planning models: Model One: The Basics Organizations that are small, busy, and have not done much strategic planning before might want to start with this approach. Top-level management often carries out planning in this model rather than using a community-based approach. Basic strategic planning includes: 1. Create a mission statement. A mission statement describes why the organization exists (i.e., identifies its basic purpose). The statement should address both the types of communities or audience that the organization serves, and the services and products it will provide. The top-level management will generally develop the mission statement. The statement will change somewhat over the years. 2. Select the organization’s intermediate goals. Goals are general statements about what needs to be accomplished to meet the purpose or mission and address major issues. 3. Identify approaches or strategies to reach each goal. Strategies are often what change most as the organization eventually conducts more robust strategic planning, particularly as external and internal environments are examined more closely. 4. Identify action plans to implement each strategy. Action plans list the steps that each major function (for example, a department or agency) must take to ensure that it is effectively implementing a strategy. Objectives should be clear enough to be assessed if they have been met. Ideally, top management will develop committees, each with their own work or set of objectives. 5. Monitor and update the plan. Planners regularly monitor progress towards goals and whether action plans are being implemented. Perhaps the most important indicator of success is positive feedback from customers. 6. Note that organizations may want to extend step 3 by identifying additional goals that help develop central operations or administration (e.g., implementing a new goal that strengthens financial management). Model Two: Issue- or Goal-Based Strategic Planning Organizations that begin with basic planning often evolve toward this more comprehensive and effective approach. This model will be the focus of recommendations for use as the preferred process in community-based planning. 1. Identify SWOT (Strengths, W ...

Assignment 2: Internal Environmental Scan/Organizational Assessment This section provides the opportunity to develop your course project. Conducting an internal environmental scan or organizational assessment, provides the ability to put the strategic audit together. In this course so far you have conducted the following steps toward completing the capstone strategic audit: Identified the organization for your report Interviewed key mid-level and senior level managers Created a market position analysis Conducted an external environmental scan in preparation of your final report and presentation Prepared a preliminary strategic audit In this module you will conduct a comprehensive assessment of the internal environment at your business unit or organization you are working with for this project, also known as an organizational assessment, and present your findings in a report. Your report should analyze the operating characteristics and assets of your business unit and categorize them as strengths or weaknesses in terms of enabling the business strategy (these will be inputs into a final SWOT analysis). The internal environmental scan or organizational assessment should include the following: Mission, Vision, and Values: Assess the organization’s understanding of the mission, vision, and values, and how they relate the business strategy. Is there consensus on the mission and vision of the organization? What are the shared values of the organization? What are the behaviors espoused by these values? Strategy Clarification: Assess the organization’s understanding of the business strategy through interviews with mid-level and senior managers. Assess their understanding and agreement of the business unit’s value proposition, market position, and competitive advantage (these are inputs from M5: Assignment 1 ). Cultural Assessment: Explain the unwritten rules and shared values that govern behaviors in the organization. Do they act as enablers or blockers to the strategy? For example, is there a culture of information sharing and collaboration that enables the organization to respond quickly across structural boundaries to solve problems for customers? On the other hand, do groups not share important information through informal mechanisms, thus slowing response times? Value Chain Analysis: Identify the primary (direct) and support (indirect) activities that create and deliver your product or service to your customers. Assess each activity’s contribution to competitive advantage through cost or differentiation. Identify any areas where the business may be at a competitive disadvantage. Summary of Findings: Using these different analyses, identify the organizational strengths and weaknesses as they relate to the business strategy. Organizational strengths are assets, capabilities, and resources that contribute directly to the organization’s strategic fit, differentiation, and competitive advantage relative to competing organizations.

A good interviewer uses interview methodologies and techniques that not only help him or her build rapport with the interviewee but also drive the interview in a favorable direction. This assignment tests your understanding of various interview methodologies. It also focuses on the components of statement analysis—an important skill that helps detect deceit in an interviewee's statements. Tasks: Using the Argosy University online library resources, prepare a 4- to 5-slide, APA-formatted Microsoft PowerPoint presentation that includes responses to Part 1 and Part 2. Part 1 Use scholarly sources to compare any two of the following interviewing methodologies: Structural interviews Inferential interviews Behavioral interviews Cognitive interviews Clearly define each methodology chosen and examine in what situations it may be appropriate. Part 2 Explore the components of statement analysis—a complex skill that can help you determine the level of deception in a witness's or a suspect's statement. Identifying deception leads one to dig deeper, investigate further, and ask more, often difficult, direct questions. Instructions Consider the following example of a statement and its component: Statement Statement Component "Decided to go for a walk. Got out there. Umm . . . stood for a few moments and received a page from home. Something was going on at home. Let's go back and make a phone call and see what's going on.

When I addressed him, I was struck in the rear and knocked to the ground. Struggled with him. There was a shot that went off. Struggled with him, and there was another shot that went off. That was the shot that hit me." "On July 4, 2011, at about 4:00 p.m., came home from work and took a shower. Was getting ready to head out to some friends' barbeque and party. My friends Jerry and Paul were having some people over for the Fourth of July. Sat down for a few minutes to watch television and relax. Had two beers until about 5:30 p.m. "Put my feet up on the table when the doorbell rang. It was an ex-girlfriend, Sally. She sat down with me for a few minutes. They wanted to tell me about their new boyfriend. I wasn't so happy about it; I didn't really want to break up with her. I watched the race and argued some, and she left, at six or so. "At about 7:00 p.m. drove to my friends' place. They live in the country and it took me an hour to get there, arrived at eight or so. When we got to the party, there were about ten or twelve people there; they were pretty wasted already, and they were drinking most of the day. Sat down outside and had a few shots and several beers.

A criminal justice professional gathers information through effective interviews and interrogations. Ineffective victim or suspect interviews or interrogations can cost an investigator a case, and understanding the difference between an interview and an interrogation is critical in selecting an appropriate approach for a specific situation. Interviews and interrogations are dynamic, evolving situations, and developing interviewing and interrogation skills takes time and practice. Interrogation involves an accusatory, persuasive approach. Effective interviewers have the ability to quickly establish rapport with their subjects and gain complete, concise, and accurate information about crimes, additional witnesses, and suspects. Building rapport early helps take down barriers to open and clear communication, which is critical in conducting interviews and interrogations. Submission Details: By Fri day, January 16, 2015 , in a minimum of 250 words, post your answers to the following: What are the qualities of an effective interviewer and interrogator? What are the purposes of interviews and interrogations? What is the difference between an interview and an interrogation? What is D. K. Berlo's communication process? How does it apply in the criminal justice field? What is a purposeful interview? Discussion Grading Criteria and Rubric All discussion assignments in this course will be graded using a rubric.
