Second, your paper should meet the criteria below as you clarify your problem or OFI. Clearly describe the problem or OFI you chose for your MAP.

Why is it important to set an agenda to resolve this problem right now? What are the consequences of not resolving this problem right now?

Unit IV Project

Management Action Plan (MAP): Part 3

To complete Part 3, identify possible root causes of the opportunity for improvement (OFI). Why do you believe the problem exists? Compile a list of all possible actions that you may need to take in order to achieve your MAP goal. Be as specific and accurate as possible in considering the connections to the OFI of your identified root causes. At this stage, focus on generating as many different options and ideas as possible.

Be sure to consider, at a minimum, the following factors when brainstorming a list of possible actions: leadership governance and clinical performance of a healthcare administrator,

physicians, nurses,

clinical support services, knowledge management, human resources, financial management, internal consulting, and marketing.

First, create a list of your ideas, trying not to judge or analyze them at this stage. Then, following your brainstorming list, correlate your list to the need for political competence in relation to your OFI and the pursuit of health.

Note: It is understood that some of these areas may not apply to your particular MAP, but all areas should at least be considered in this process.

This part of the course project will be a minimum of three pages in length, not including the title and reference pages or material from previous project submissions. It should be organized well and contain an introduction.

What steps are absolutely necessary and are most likely to be effective in achieving your MAP goal, and why? Determine, list, and explain which possible action items can be removed from your list without significant consequences to the outcome.

Be as specific and accurate as possible in presenting the relationship of your refined list of action items in the context of health policy making.

Unit VI Project

Management Action Plan (MAP): Part 5

Incrementalism relies on an advanced knowledge of a need to add to a project using many small, accurate, and incremental changes instead of undertaking a few, well-planned, large jumps.

First, you will need to decide on the sequencing of your key action steps. Start by reviewing your key action steps in Part 4. For each key action step, ask yourself what other steps must be completed before that specific action can be taken.

Next, explain the merits of incrementalism in your MAP and possible consequences if incrementalism is not utilized.

Finally, rearrange your key action steps into a sequence of ordered activity. Then, look at your plan once again. Are there any ways to simplify the plan further before presenting it?

Address accountability. For each key action step, assign a responsible party or group within your hypothetical or actual organization (by position, department, or team  name—not by individual name), and assign a suspense date by which the key action steps must be completed. Then, based on all of your key action steps and the suspense dates, provide a realistic completion date for the entire MAP.

Develop measurement and monitoring. Explain in detail how you will measure the success of your MAP following implementation and how you will monitor ongoing performance to prevent regression and loss of the positive change that has taken place.

This part of the course project will be a minimum of three pages in length, not including the title and reference pages or material from previous project submissions. It should be organized well and contain an introduction.

At a minimum, your textbook should be used as reference material for this part of your project. You are also encouraged to use the CSU Online Library and other scholarly or reputable sources. All sources used must be cited and referenced in APA style.

Feel free to revise previous project submissions based on your professor’s feedback. Any revisions will be also be graded in the final submission of the course project due in Unit VII.
