FADE – Focus, Analyze, Develop, Execute PDSA – Plan, Do, Study, Act

3 Using PDSA to guide your evaluation process

4 Plan Becomes your Objectives in the Grant Who will do What Where

5 DO Carry out the plan – Implement the Program Document activities
Successes Problems Unexpected results Begin Analysis of Data – Performance Management What tools are you using to get the data you need Pre/Post Tests Data Logs (excel or other software based spreadhsheet) Sign-In sheets Calendar of events

6 Study Complete Analysis of Data
Compare current results to predictions (initial objectives set) Use your tools for analysis, what do they say? Summarize what was learned - (going to laundromats on Wednesday afternoon’s yielded 30% of target population for outreach, going on Saturday’s yielded 10%)

9 Practice Time! Using the Project Priorities, devise objectives and an evaluation plan Address the lack of awareness about and existence of clear, consistent, accurate, and complete breast health and breast cancer information and existing community resources in order to empower patients to more effectively navigate the continuum of care. Meet the unique needs of minorities and other at-risk populations and decrease barriers to care by utilizing tailored messaging and strategies as well as partnerships with trusted community institutions to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate educational programs. Develop collaborative solutions for increasing access to providers at all phases of the Continuum of Care. Enhance provider and patient communication as it relates to linguistic challenges as well as the importance of connecting with a primary care home as a regular source of care. Address the awareness about and availability of transportation to screening, diagnostic, and treatment services in order to improve access to vital services integral to improving health outcomes. Provide support for services beyond screening, including diagnostics and out-of-pocket costs (including co-pays, deductibles, prescriptions, and premiums) for un- and under-insured, working poor populations in order to decrease disparities in care. Support financial navigation for those needing financial assistance in order to decrease barriers to care in un- and under-insured populations. Support free mammography screenings to decrease barriers to care and improve health outcomes through early detection. Provide support for special vulnerable populations identified as experiencing extensive barriers to care, including financial difficulties.
