  1. Planning Action with ‘Backward Mapping’ Liz Diem, RN, PhD www.chnresources.org

  2. What information would you need if you were planning a trip to tropics? When & where do we want to go? What do we need to get on a plane? How long does it take to get a passport? When do we need to book the hotel and plane tickets to get the cheapest rates? All the other questions we need to know to make reservations: # of friends, budget, etc. www.chnresources.org

  3. Example of Using Backward Mapping in Community Clinical • 3 month community clinical placement in the fall • Community group: older women meeting each week to socialize and improve health www.chnresources.org

  4. Situation at the end of 6 weeks... The team has identified the group’s: • strong interest in reducing falls and osteoporosis, and • a desire for interactive sessions Challenge for the team: • What has to be done, when, to provide a workshop (or presentation with discussion) by the end of term? www.chnresources.org

  5. Begin by deciding on answers to planning questions: • What material will be needed for the workshop/presentation? • How long should it be? • When should it be held? • Where could it be held and is that location available? • Who is going to do what? • What deadlines are needed for collecting material? • When should the rehearsal (pilot test) be held? • How could we organize our activities so everything is done on time? www.chnresources.org

  6. Organize answers starting with furthest date and working backwards… • Date for workshop • Date for pilot test • Date for draft Nov 14 Nov 1 or 7 Oct 21 www.chnresources.org

  7. Finish planning by detailing activities for closest dates • 5. Oct 14 • Book room(s) for workshop • Plan advertising • Gather resources 1. Nov 14 Workshop/ Presentation • 4. Oct 21  • Start advertising • Organize resources 2. Nov 1 or 7  3. Oct 28  www.chnresources.org

  8. Backwards Mapping involves • Determining your objective (what you want to accomplish) and the deadline for the objective • Thinking backwards from your objective to determine what needs to be in place at dates prior to the deadline. www.chnresources.org
