Increase the Effectiveness of Your Compliance Program with Principles of Beha...Lisa_ComplianceWave
Compliance Wave’s research in the Ethics and Compliance industry has shown that E&C professionals desire a combination of three components for their programs which they lack today. These components are as follows:
The ability to deliver multi-media communications on a variety of compliance topics directly to employees’ and third-party agents’ desktops or mobile devices in a way that is high-impact, low-bandwidth, non-intrusive, and interactive.
The ability to track all of that activity – including interactions with recipients – all in one place and report on it as well.
The introduction of proven behavior changing methodologies that will help prevent compliance issues before they occur by impacting how employees think and act.
Social work: Crafting Goals and Objectivesbernie3524

The James Cancer Hospital is conducting research to better understand the experience of referring physicians and identify opportunities to increase physician loyalty and referrals. They utilized experience mapping to evaluate the entire physician and patient journey. Interviews with 44 referring physicians revealed that The James is known for its reputation but physicians have little knowledge of individual oncologists. They seek more information on specialists to refer specific cancer types and better understand diagnostic options. While coordination of referrals works smoothly, physicians want improved communication and relationships with oncologists to facilitate referrals.

This document discusses using outcomes-based measurements for quality assurance. It defines outcomes as specific changes in attitudes, behaviors, knowledge, skills, status, or functioning expected to result from program activities. Choosing meaningful outcomes is emphasized as the first step, even if they are difficult to measure. Sample evaluation questions, a timeline for implementing an outcomes-based system, and how to measure success are provided. Common myths about outcomes evaluation are addressed, emphasizing that evaluation involves ongoing, practical processes rather than a complex science.
This document introduces a framework for creating institutional and community-level change to support foster youth. It discusses forming strategic alliances or coalitions to achieve common goals. Effective strategies require assessing community needs through data collection, then developing a strategic plan to address root causes and local conditions. The plan should identify problems, consequences, contributing factors and resources. It also outlines a process involving assessment, capacity building, planning, implementation, evaluation and sustainability. Coalitions aim to create broad, substantial and enduring change across institutions by addressing multiple interconnected issues.
A textbook must provide, first and foremost, information to assist the reader in better understanding the topic. Second, it ought to provide the information in a way that can be easily accessed and digested, and it needs to be credible. Textbooks
that have gone through multiple editions continue to improve as a result of reviewers’ comments and readers’ feedback, and this one is no exception. Looking back over the efforts associated with this Fifth Edition, the old wedding custom of “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue” comes to
mind. We have built upon the solid foundation of previous editions, but then added “something new.” It almost goes without saying that we have “borrowed” from others in that we both cite and quote examples of program evaluation studies
from the literature. “Something blue” . . . well, we’re not sure about that. Those who have used the Fourth Edition might be interested in knowing what has changed in this new edition. Based on reviewers’ comments we have:
• Created a new chapter to explain sampling.
• Incorporated new material on designing questionnaires.
• Overhauled the chapter on qualitative evaluation. It is now “Qualitative and Mixed Methods in Evaluation.”
• Reworked the “Formative and Process Evaluation” chapter with expanded coverage on developing logic models.
• Added new studies and references; new Internet sources of information.
• Included new examples of measurement instruments (scales) with a macro
focus.
• Inserted new checklists and guides (such as ways to minimize and monitor for potential fidelity problems—Chapter 13).
• Revised the chapter “Writing Evaluation Proposals, Reports, and Journal Articles” to give it less of an academic slant. There’s new material on writing
executive summaries and considerations in planning and writing evaluation
reports for agencies.
• Deleted the chapter on Goal Attainment Scalin

10. A Few Distinctions. . .
Research Evaluation Assessment
Focused on increasing
knowledge in a field or
testing a hypothesis
“Conducted according to a set
of guidelines”; makes a
judgment; summative;
typically fixed in time
Non-judgmental
measure of program that
provides information to
improve future efforts;
diagnostic, formative and
summative;

What does the person
already know?
What is the scope of the
problem?
Did I change KABBS?
Did I improve conditions?
How well is the program
working?
Are interventions being
delivered as designed
Will the program meet
community needs?
Is it feasible?
13. Diagnostic Assessment
Data sources to consider include:
• Data from on-line pre-course
assessments
• Campus Climate Surveys
• Confidential Crisis Line call aggregate
data
“It's so much easier to suggest
solutions when you don't know
too much about the problem.” -
Malcolm Forbes
• Hospitalization/ transport
records
• Conduct reports
• Diagnostic Inventories
14. Formative Evaluation
Formative evaluation ensures that a
program or program activity is
feasible, appropriate, and
acceptable before it is fully
implemented.
Source: CDC
Data sources to consider include:
• Key stakeholder interviews
• Focus groups with target population
• Prevention Pro Analysis
15. Establish a planning group
Conduct a needs assessment
What is the problem?
Individual determinants
Environmental determinants
Identify specific needs and target groups
Develop long-term behavioral objectives for the target group
Review prior intervention efforts (identify successes/challenges)
Assess community and group capacity
