Community Program and Evaluation Plan

From the county health data presented in the discussion boards, choose one health issue that may

be improved through a community health program.

Scenario: The directors reviewed the community/population assessment and decided to provide

funding for a community health program addressing one of the priority health issues in the

county. The DNP-prepared nurse practitioner will develop a plan for presenting a health program

in a community setting. The evidence-based community health intervention should include at

least three activities or strategies. For example, if the selected priority health issue is diabetes.

one intervention strategy could include teaching people how to use a glucometer for blood

glucose monitoring. At least one journal article should be used as a reference for determining the

intervention activities or strategies that will be done. A plan for evaluating whether the program

was effective in the target population will also be included.

Assignment: Prepare a PowerPoint presentation of the Community Program and Evaluation

Plan to present at a mock meeting of the agency directors and their respective boards to show

how the money will be spent. A resource for developing the PPT can be found at Top Ten (PPT)
