INTRODUCTION
Planning and implementation in health promotion and public health refers to the course which
enables practitioners to enhance knowledge and develop skills which are necessary for making
plans and implement health promotion projects (Escoffery and et.al., 2019). It focus on systems
and models of delivery in health and social care. In the report use of planning and
implementation models, partners and stakeholders that are involved in public health, importance
of quality models in planning.
MAIN BODY
Precede proceed model
This model is a cost benefit evaluation framework that helps in planning and implementation of
local health promotion and design health programs efficiently. The Precede is an acronym for
predisposing, reinforcing, and enables constructs in educational diagnosis and evaluation.
Proceed is acronym for policy, regulatory, and organizational constructs in educational and
environmental development. The framework in consideration of the growing recognition of the
expansion of health education to encompass policy, regulatory and environmental factors that
helps in making plans (Grellier and et.al., 2017). There are some elements of precede social
diagnosis, behavioral and environmental diagnosis, educational and organizational diagnosis,
administrative policy diagnosis.
The precede – proceed model is a comprehensive structure which helps in assessing health needs
for designing, implementing and evaluating health promotion. This model helps in implementing
the policies which help in improving the health promotion programs.
Social diagnosis
This is one of the element of planning program which deals in identifying and evaluating social
problems. During this the program planners try to solve the problems by finding the ways that
can affect the quality of life. They also identify strengths, weakness and resources that can be
used to solve the problems.
Behavioral and environmental diagnosis
In this analysis is done of the behaviour which are related to goals or problems. For example, the
parents of teenagers who keep cigarettes at home . The planner identifies the behaviour of
individual person which is directly affecting the individual at risk (Martinez and et.al., 2017).

General kind of partners and stakeholders
There are many partners and stakeholders that are involved in a public health project because it
requires lot of people and when steps are taken for the benefit of people then proper plans or
strategies should be made. In the health project there are many people who play a crucial role in
making projects successful. A commissioner plays an important role in planning and
implementation, they are having interest in the policies as they will get benefit from it. It is their
responsibility to make plans which are beneficial for the people living in the society. All the
activities are managed and controlled by the government because they know better about the
need and requirement of people. Funders are also stakeholders because they are investing money
in the project with the hope that they will get good return (Rosenthal and et.al., 2017).
They analyse the project and gather all the relevant information related to project, then they
decide whether they have to invest money or not. As resources are limited such as, time, money
and people so they should use it properly and do not waste resources. Stakeholders give new
ideas or make plans for how they can develop projects which are beneficial for people. These are
having some negative impact also as if plans are not successful then resources will be wasted.
When resources are not properly used then it will be a loss for the society, so government should
take necessary steps which will help in planning and implementation of project related to public
health.
Importance of quality
Quality is important because customers good quality products at reasonable price. Quality is
critical to satisfying customers and make plans to retain consumers so that they will continue in
future. When good quality products are made by the company to attract people to buy the
products. The purpose of the company is to generate more profit and try to increase productivity
of the society. It is an essential element as it helps in building good reputation in the market and
satisfies consumers (Santoro and et.al., 2017). It also helps in gaining competitive advantage and
it is also essential to manage quality because consumers are attracted towards good quality
products. The Donabedian model refers to as model which provides a framework for evaluating
quality of health care. According to this model, information about quality can be identified that
whether products are good or not, it should not be harmful for people. From this model three
categories can be made such as, structure, process and outcome. These are important for

identifying that whether plans are made according to the need and requirement of consumers or
not (Wold and Mittelmark, 2018).
Key factors depend on team work
For the success of any project it is important that work should be done in teams. It is important
that all the employees should give their best to accomplish goals and objectives. For the success
of project that is made for the benefit of society, all should work in a team and complete the
project. There are some factors that lead to successful team working are, commitment,
contribution, communication, cooperation, conflict management, change management and many
other. In the project all the people who are supporting should know about these factors like, they
should interact with each other properly so that there will be no confusion or misunderstanding.
As in the project of health promotion all the people should work hard and complete the work by
distributing work in teams. They should listen what team leader is saying and work according to
the instructions given by the leader (Smith and Judd, 2020).
CONCLUSION
From the report it can be included that, planning and implementation helps in health promotion
and public health. In making plans there is a model precede – proceed which helps in planning
and making strategy which is beneficial for the society. In this model there are some elements
which help in identifying market condition and try to find solution. The elements of precede –

proceed are, behavioural diagnosis and social diagnosis are discussed and there are many
partners or stakeholders that help in making plans and their roles are described.
