Refer to the Unit III Required Unit Resources, and review the “Example Implementation Plan,” which is provided on the Improving Patient Flow and Reducing Emergency Department Crowding: A Guide for Hospitals webpage. Use the resource as a template for developing your own implementation plan.
Identify a target population in need of a public health intervention. For example, you might decide to target low-income African American women who are overweight, and the intervention would propose an appropriate physical activity program. Another example might be targeting a sub-population with high rates of diabetes, and the intervention would be focused on changing their dietary habits.
Your implementation plan must have the components listed below.
