Final Project: Leadership and Strategy Plan

For this Final Project, you select a pressing health problem affecting a community and develop a leadership and strategy plan for addressing the problem. You link this problem to a corresponding Healthy People 2020 objective(s).  

Scenario  
You are a new Health Program Planner recently hired by the Lake Troubled Shallows Department in Minnesota. Prior to your arrival, a comprehensive community health needs assessment was conducted by the Health Department. Based on the assessment, the following top five community health needs were identified. • Heart disease and stroke prevention • Diabetes screening • Physical activity • Maternal, infant and child health monitoring and treatment • Mental health and mental disorders screening and treatment

The executive director of the Lake Troubled Shallows Health Department has tasked you with targeting one of the aforementioned community health needs as a top priority during your first year. The director has asked you to develop a leadership and strategy plan to address your identified community health need.  

As part of the pre-planning stage of developing your leadership and strategy plan, first select and match one the Healthy People 2020 objectives to one of the top five needs identified by the Health Department.  

For instance, if you choose “physical activity,” review the various physical activity objectives under the general Healthy People 2020 Objectives. Then, select a specific, measurable sub-objective.  

You will need to review the current national data on your chosen objective.  

Next, for purposes of this assignment, you should assume that the health status of  
individuals residing in Lake Troubled Shallows is representative of the overall health  
status of individuals living within Minnesota. You can go to the Minnesota State Health  
Department’s website to find additional data on state level progress and resources to  
support your leadership and strategy plan at:  

http://www.health.state.mn.us/healthymnpartnership/hm2020/#fw

Once you have completed background research and identified a community health  
need, you develop a leadership and strategy plan to address it.  

Paper Format:  
13-to 15-page paper (not including title page), APA format  

Leadership and Strategy Plan  
• Executive Summary (1 page)  
• Table of Contents (1 page)  
• Manuscript (see components list below)  

The manuscript section of your Final Project will need to address the following  
components:  
• Introduction (1–2 pages):  
Select a problem from one of the five problems identified in the Background  
(Scenario) and match it to one Healthy People 2020 objective (sub-objectives  
that are measurable). Describe the rationale for selection of this problem and the  
magnitude of the problem (e.g., incidence, prevalence, impact on communities  
and society).  

? Strategic Plan (2 pages plus SWOT analysis worksheet, revised from Week 7):  
Use the SWOT analysis template completed in Week 7 as a starting point for this  
section. (You will include your completed template in the appendices of this Final  
Project.) For this Final Project, address the following based on your SWOT  
analysis:  
o Identify any connections between listed items in the quadrants (i.e., is there an opportunity that can be taken advantage of to address a particular threat or weakness?). o Propose strategies to maintain, enhance or leverage potential strengths (e.g., make appropriate assumptions about internal strengths of the Health Department). o Propose strategies to minimize weaknesses (e.g., make appropriate assumptions about internal weaknesses of the Health Department). o Propose options for leveraging or taking advantage of opportunities. o Explain the potential impact of threat/challenges and what you should do to address or prepare for the threat. o Explain potential strategic issues that the health department may need to address.  

• Program Description (2 pages): o Review the evidence for a program intervention—ideally, this will be quality, evidence-based public health information demonstrating best  
practices from peer-reviewed literature. Find at least three sources of  
evidence, preferably peer-reviewed. o Briefly describe the hypothetical program to address your chosen community health problem. Based on your SWOT Analysis, include 3–5  
specific and measurable program objectives that you hope to accomplish  
within 1 year (Refer to SMART Objectives Template as a guide for  
developing appropriate program objectives).  

• Leadership Challenges and Systems Thinking (3 pages):  
(Refer to Weeks 1 and 2 Learning Resources.) Describe and explain the leadership approach you will take to execute your plan. Include the leadership style(s) you will employ and the leadership skills necessary to be effective including emotional intelligence and cultural competence.  

o Briefly describe how you will apply systems thinking to your identified community health issue in order to communicate to others (stakeholders) with regards to how your proposed plan may impact the community. A common systems thinking tool is a casual loop diagram. Please review the resources from Week 2 related to systems thinking and create a simple casual loop diagram that relates to your program development. o Note: You can use PowerPoint (go to “Insert” then “SmartArt”) to create your casual loop diagram and copy and paste the graphic into the paper. o The following is an example of a simple casual loop diagram:  



Morbidity and Mortality risks of HIV/AIDs
Evaluation of evidencebased screening, treatment, and education Options
Community Awareness of risks and treatment options
Engagement of key stakeholders in the community
Development of public health initiatives
• Ethical Implications (0.5–1 page):  
(Refer to Week 3 Learning Resources.) Describe anticipated ethical issues or  
concerns of your leadership and strategy plan. What are some of the challenges  
anticipated?  

• Engaging Communities and Building Constituencies (1.5–2 pages):  

(Refer to Week 4 Learning Resources.) Describe how you will engage  
community partners and key stakeholders. Describe key partners and  
stakeholders and the level of engagement needed. Discuss anticipated conflict  
resolution and negotiation skills that will be required.  

• Budgeting, Financing, and Human Resources (1–1.5 pages):  
(Refer to Weeks 5 & 6 Learning Resources.)  
You have been given a budget of $250,000 in initial start-up funds, which  
includes your salary and benefits. You must develop an annual operating budget  
(in addition to the $250,000 start-up funding). o Explain the funding issues related to your Final Project community health problem. Include such characteristics as whether these issues are long-or  
short-term, how urgent they are, and which stakeholders might be most  
affected. Identify in your budget any additional staff that you will need to  
hire, including a brief description of their roles and responsibilities. o Complete the blank budget worksheet provided (similar to the one you completed in Week 5) indicating the funding opportunities and costs  
related to the chosen project. o Based on your research, as well as the information included in the budget worksheet, recommend some potential funding sources (including grant  
funding) and explain why you recommend them. In your explanation,  
include variations in funding and how these variations influenced your  
decision making. You are expected to search various funding sources  
such as community-level grants, state funding, nonprofit associations, etc.  

• Performance Management & Health Informatics (2 pages): o (Refer to Weeks 8 and 9 Learning Resources.) Based on your SWOT Analysis, include 3–5 specific and measurable process objectives that you  
hope to accomplish within 1 year. (Refer to SMART Objectives Template  
as a guide for developing appropriate program objectives.) o Explain how you will measure the objectives identified in your program description to determine if you have reached them. Include a description  
of how you will get the data with which to evaluate your objectives.
