Develop
a 4-6 page plan that will allow you to evaluate your intervention.
Instructions
Note: The assessments in this course are sequenced in such a way
as to help you build specific skills that you will use throughout your program.
Complete the assessments in the order in which they are presented.
Your evaluation plan design will be the fourth section of
your final project submission. The goal for this is to finalize the outcomes
that your plan is seeking to achieve and to create a plan to evaluate the
degree to which those outcomes would have been achieved if your intervention
plan has been implemented. This will allow you to determine the degree to
which the plan was successful in addressing the identified need of your target
population and setting.
You will also discuss ways in which your role allows you to
lead change and drive quality improvement, and to potentially improve the
project in the future. In addition, you will reflect on how the project will
leave you better prepared for success in other aspects of your current and
future career. Provide enough detail so that the faculty member assessing your
implementation plan design and discussion will be able to provide substantive
feedback that you will be able to incorporate into the final draft of your
project.
At minimum, be sure to address the bullet points below, as
they correspond to the grading criteria. You may also want to read the scoring
guide and the Guiding Questions:
Evaluation Plan Design [DOC]document to better understand how each criterion will be
assessed. In addition to the bullet points below, provide a brief introduction
that refreshes the reader’s memory about your problem statement, your planned
intervention, and how you intended to implement your intervention (this should
only be a single paragraph).
Reminder: These instructions are an outline. Your heading for this

to improve outcomes and safety.
Reflection on Leading Change and Improvement
