Nurses can play a very important role assessing program/policy evaluation for the same reasons that they can be so important to program/policy design. Nurses bring expertise and patient advocacy that can add significant insight and impact. In this Assignment, you will practice applying this expertise and insight by selecting an existing healthcare program or policy evaluation and reflecting on the criteria used to measure the effectiveness of the program/policy. To Prepare: Review the Healthcare Program/Policy Evaluation Analysis Template provided in the Resources. Select an existing healthcare program or policy evaluation or choose one of interest to you.

 
ASSESSING A HEALTHCARE PROGRAM/POLICY EVALUATION
Program/policy evaluation is a valuable tool that can help strengthen the quality of programs/policies and improve outcomes for the populations they serve. Program/policy evaluation answers basic questions about program/policy effectiveness. It involves collecting and analyzing information about program/policy activities, characteristics, and outcomes. This information can be used to ultimately improve program services or policy initiatives.

As we bring our class to a close, look at some of the “tools” that we as aviators use to make our cockpits safer, such as Crew Resource Management and Threat Error Management. Given an explanation, in your own words, how these tools have changed the way emergencies, abnormal operations, and threats are handled today as opposed to the days when the captain was always right! What do you think of this quote from David Beaty’s book, The Naked Pilot: “the machine, the technology, has advanced more in a hundred years than man’s brain has in a hundred thousand.”? Lastly, the Bible tells us that we are to be open to criticism and respectful to others. At the same time, we must not remain silent when circumstances arise that affect the aircraft’s safe operation or a conflict among crew members or passengers happens. Explain your thoughts on this dichotomy and cite a Scripture verse to support your ideas.
