University Health Program Planning, Implementation, Evaluation Report

This report delves into the critical processes of program planning, implementation, and evaluation within the context of health promotion programs. It outlines three key processes: determining the achievement of health improvement objectives, enhancing program implementation, and making informed policy decisions. The report emphasizes the importance of both summative and formative evaluations in measuring program effectiveness and providing feedback for improvement. It highlights the impacts of program evaluations, including their influence on achieving health objectives and the necessity of aligning evaluation designs with program missions. The report also discusses the significance of internal and external evaluations, presenting questions to differentiate their roles and advantages. References to key literature in the field of health program planning and evaluation are also provided.

1PROGRAM PLANNING, IMPLEMENTATION AND EVALUATION
Process no 1
The first process in the health promotion program is the process to determine the
achievement of the objectives that are related to the improvement of the status of health. The
evaluation is very much liable to make a proper measurement of the effect of the different
process like summative evaluation and formative evaluation (McKenzie, Neiger & Thackeray,
2016). The process has to be followed in case of the better outcomes for the improvement in
health conditions. Program evaluation is a very serious process to determine the extent to which
the program objectives can be related to the improvement of the health conditions (Chen, 2014)
Process no 2
The purpose of the second process is to improve the implementation of the programs. The
people who are planning for all the things should always focus on developing some programs.
The program planners should always look to influence the concerned people of why a particular
program should work properly. A particular invention can only work properly if the processes
are followed properly. The processes have to be made in a way that the process evaluation can be
directed properly (McKenzie, Neiger & Thackeray, 2016). The implementation of the programs
has to be made in an organized manner.
Process no 3
The third process is about the making the right decisions about the policies. The purpose
of the entire process evaluation is to improve the community (Chen, 2014). The policies have to
be included into the communities with the program evaluation data. One of the examples can be
given in this context is about the passive smoking (Grembowski, 2015). It also affects the people
same as the active smokers, if not more.

2PROGRAM PLANNING, IMPLEMENTATION AND EVALUATION
Impact no 1
There are some important impacts on the process evaluations. The health promotion
programs can be affected a lot during the achievement of the objectives (Issel & Wells, 2017).
These programs will lead to the betterment of the patients and the entire system will be
benefitted in this regard.
Impact no 2
The second impact will be the fact that the evaluation design must have a reflection on
the objectives and the missions of the health programs. As the effects can be felt at the beginning
phases of the program development, the evaluation programs can see the face of success in this
scenario (Grembowski, 2015).
Impact no 3
The third impact in this context of program evaluation is the summary of the summative
and formative evaluations. Through the formative evaluations, some important feedbacks can be
shared with the program administrators. This will in turn help the evaluation program to be
acknowledged and judged properly (Issel & Wells, 2017).
Outcome questions
1. Can these evaluation programs be conducted by the professional program administrators?
2. How will internal evaluation help to conduct the programs properly?
3. What are the advantages of the external evaluation?
Difference between the questions

3PROGRAM PLANNING, IMPLEMENTATION AND EVALUATION
These questions can be categorized in terms of the evaluation process. The internal
evaluation has been a very important scenario that considers the local employees of the
healthcare organizations. They are generally connected with the evaluation programs. The
external evaluation consultants are not connected to the evaluation programs.
