GOAL – Where you want to be GOALS AND OBJECTIVES Objective- Steps you need to get there Objective Intermediate Injury PreventionAugust 23-26, 2011 Billings, MT .....
Session Objectives By the end of this session you should be able to • develop goals and objectives for your injury prevention plan and/or data collection plan
Goals • General broad statement of intent. • What you hope to accomplish when your program is complete. • Usually health related. • What do you want to change. • First critical step toward prevention. • Accompanied by measurable objectives.
Goals There are two key steps to writing a goal: • Specify a health problem or health risk behavior. • Identify the target population that will change as a result of a successful project.
Examples of Goals • Reduce fire and burn injury. • Reduce fatal and non-fatal dog bite injuries at the Piney Point reservation. • Reduce motor vehicle injuries and deaths at the Piney Point reservation. • Increase operating smoke alarms in homes of the elderly and children.
A SMART Objective is: • Specific • Measurable • Achievable • Reasonable • Time specific
Objectives • Objectives break the goal into smaller parts that provide specific, measurable actions by which the goal can be accomplished. • Objectives define the results to achieve in our program or intervention.
Objectives • Measurable, specific statements about how the goal will be achieved. • WHO will do HOW MUCH of WHAT by WHEN. • Example: Beginning March 2010, Discharge planners will ensure that 50% of newborns discharged from the hospital will have a properly installed car seat.
SMART Objectives Specific • Who and what? (target population and persons doing the activity and what? (action/activity). • Use verb that action words increase, decrease, train, schedule, write, conduct and produce. Example: By December 31, 2012, increase the use of seat belts by older children and adults (from 30% to 50%).
SMART Objectives Measurable • Is it quantifiable, and can we measure it. • Measurable implies “ability to count”. • How much change in target population is expected. Example: Beginning March 2010, Discharge planners will ensure that 50%of newborns discharged from the hospital will have a properly installed car seat.
SMART Objectives Achievable • Can we get it done in the proposed time frame with the resources and support we have available. “Do something” • Is it possible to increase the seat belt rate to 50% by December 2011, with available resources? • Attainable, time-frame, resources.
SMART Objectives Reasonable • Objectives should be realistic, attainable. • Addresses the scope of the health program and proposes reasonable programmatic steps.
SMART Objectives Time-frame • Time-frame indicating when the objective will be measured and met. • Target dates. When will this objective be accomplished? Example: By December 31, 2012, the OEHE program will or Within 6 months….
Objectives By December 2012, there will be a 20% increase (when: time-frame) (Who/What-specific & relevant) in the proportion of children under one year of age correctly riding in car seats (from 30% to 50%). (Measurable/achievable, number, percentage of change and baseline)
G: To develop a comprehensive community- based injury prevention program Objective 1: OEH will collect injury data for the community for years 2004-2008 by the end of 2009 Objective 2: CHR will organize a community injury prevention coalition by end of February 2010 Objective 3: The coalition will develop a data-driven intervention based on collected injury data by April 2010
G: Develop Injury Surveillance System (Data Collection Plan) Objective 1: Develop a protocol for injury surveillance by the end of 2009. Objective 2: OEH will collect injury data for years 2005-2008 at five tribal clinics by October 2009 Objective 3: Report findings to key stakeholders and Tribal Council by the end of 2009.
G: To decrease Elderly Fall Injuries (Data Collection Plan) Objective 1: By October 14, 2010, CHRs will have completed analysis of falls in elderly in communities using the injury surveillance data. Objective 2: By December 2010, Community Chapters will conduct a focus group for elderly in each community.
Goals and Objectives Exercise • Based upon the provided injury scenario/problem statement, write a goal and three SMART objectives to reach that goal • Small groups (4-5 per group) • 15 minutes
