Order Description

Outline Program Plan (Written Report)

As a health services manager, you have been asked to submit an outline program proposal to the
Board of Executives to fully utilise a grant of AUD$150 000 recently received by your organisation.

DIABETIC DISEASE IN AUSTRALIA. You must provide sufficient information to enable the
organisation’s Board of Executives to understand the rationale for the program and the activities
required to design, implement and evaluate the program including any additional data that would need
to be collected. Based on your outline plan, the Board of Executives should be able to determine
whether the benefits delivered by the program are justified given the effort, resources, risk factors and
dependencies that you have identified.

As the program is hypothetical, you may make any assumptions you like. However, you need to state
any assumptions that you make very clearly (for example regarding the scope or type of services to
be provided, the target group, the area in which it will be implemented).
Remember, the aim of this
assignment is to develop an outline plan for a program based on existing data available.
You are
NOT required to develop a complete program plan or to collect any additional data as part of this
assignment.

Your outline program plan should be presented to a professional standard that can be submitted to
the Board of Executives, including an executive summary, introduction, situation analysis,
implementation plan including timeline, evaluation strategy, budget and resources, and a risk analysis
including suitable management strategies.

Your program plan should include the following information and headings:

Morbidity (e.g. number of cases per 100,000)
Trends (e.g. changes in rate over the last 10-20 years)
Distribution (gender, race, geographical, etc)
Feasibility Assessment
 Identify existing or emerging internal and external environmental factors which may affect the
program (e.g. organisational, political, economic, cultural, existing programs)
 Speculate on likely future issues which should be considered
 Identify stakeholders who should be consulted or involved in the program
 Review the competitive environment in which the program will be implemented.

who will benefit from the program.

for the program which may be used to evaluate the program.

impacts you expect to achieve.

your program objectives.
