2AssessingaHealthcareProgram.docxAssessing a Healthcare Program/Policy EvaluationProgram/policy evaluation is a valuable tool that can help strengthen the quality of programs/policies and improve outcomes for the populations they serve. Program/policy evaluation answers basic questions about program/policy effectiveness. It involves collecting and analyzing information about program/policy activities, characteristics, and outcomes. This information can be used to ultimately improve program services or policy initiatives.Nurses can play a very important role assessing program/policy evaluation for the same reasons that they can be so important to program/policy design. Nurses bring expertise and patient advocacy that can add significant insight and impact. In this Assignment, you will practice applying this expertise and insight by selecting an existing healthcare program or policy evaluation and reflecting on the criteria used to measure the effectiveness of the program/policy.ResourcesBe sure to review the Learning Resources before completing this activity.

How much does the program cost, and what do you expect to be achieved?Interviewee:In our practice, we have recently initiated a comprehensive mental health outreach program aimed at addressing mental health needs in the homeless population in our business zone. The program is the Homeless Mental Health Services Improvement Initiative in which programmable components include accessible, constant, and comprehensive mental health services. The overall estimated cost of the full program will total approximately $1.5 million annually, which will include salaried mental health professionals, outreach workers, medications, and administrative costs (Kangovi et al., 2020). The expected effectiveness includes a decrease in mental health crises among the homeless, improved overall mental health, and increased receipt of mental health services, finally leading to more health improvements and less emergency department visits and hospitalizations.Interviewer:Who’s your target population?Interviewee:Our target population here relates to the homeless in the area who suffer from mental health disorders. This group often experiences significant barriers to mental health care because of transportation, stigma, and housing instability. We are attempting to close this gap by providing direct services to them in a manner of continuous support that will facilitate the care they need to improve their mental status and life quality.Interviewer:Now, how do you think the nurse would be serving or giving input into the design of this health care program? Can you give examples?Interviewee:Nurses play a key role as members in the design of the Homeless Mental Health Services Improvement Initiative. They bring forth valuable, firsthand knowledge of the outpatient population that provides insights on the special needs and challenges. For instance, rehabilitation nurses have insisted on including mobile health units because they recognize the mobility and unpredictability of the homeless population in locations where people are found. They also recommended the inclusion of substance abuse treatment services, understanding the high comorbidity of substance use disorders and mental health issues (Paradis-Gagné et al., 2023). Their input ensures that the program is holistic and tailored to the specific needs of the target population.Interviewer:What is your role as an advocate for your target population for this healthcare program? Do you have input into design decisions? How else do you impact design?Interviewee:As an advocate for the homeless population, my role is that of representing a voice that will resonate with their interest. More clearly, I get involved in meetings with stakeholders and deliver my views and impressions from my clinical position and as a person having contact with the target population. I also conduct needs assessment and gather data to help me form the basis for program modification. I lobby for funds and policies that support my program to maintain and expand the program. I stay close to the target population so that continuing changes in their needs are met through an effective and responsive program.Interviewer:What would be the role implementation of a health programs by a nurse? How different would be the role from the design during the health implement programs study? Could you provide examples?Interviewee:During the implementation phase, nurses transition from planning and advocacy roles to direct service delivery and coordination. They are on the front lines, providing mental health assessments, administering medications, and offering counseling and support. For instance, in the Homeless Mental Health Services Improvement Initiative, middle-level nurses make regular outreach visits, build trust with the homeless individuals, and follow up to ensure adherence to treatment plans. They also work closely with case management, care coordination, other healthcare providers, social services, and housing agencies. This hands-on approach is essential to ensure that such a program design actually gets translated into compassionate, effective care for members of the target population.Interviewer:If you were to use only part of a healthcare team to put a program in place, what members would you think to be most in need and briefly why?Interviewee:A multidisciplinary health care team is very important in dealing with a program such as the Homeless Mental Health Services Improvement Initiative. The key members include psychiatrists for specialized mental health care, social workers for tackling the social determinants of health and linking with resources within the community, outreach workers for active engagement and to foster trust within the homeless population, and primary care providers for the management of comorbid physical health problems (Mongelli et al., 2020). Substance abuse counselors would be another crucial component of the team because there is very high co-occurring substance abuse use disorders in the population. Indeed, the wide array of talent and perspective from each member ensures that each client gets the benefit of totally coordinated care. By working together, such a team can provide for the complex care issues that homeless individuals face and can lead to better health outcomes and improved quality of the lives for such patients.ReferencesKangovi, S., Mitra, N., Grande, D., Long, J.
