PLAN

Draft – Best Practices Implementation Plan

Overview

This assignment is the initial draft of a work plan designed to  increase use of best practices in a public health organization. Creating  a well-designed implementation plan requires that you move through each  stage of writing before you submit the end product to your intended  audience, including:

• Prewriting.
• Drafting.
• Peer Review.
• Revising.
• Proofreading.
• Submitting.

The assignments and discussion posts in this course are all examples  of the prewriting stage. Throughout the course you have been assembling a  growing list of resources and already have them formatted in APA style  and stored in your RefWorks bibliography, ready to be incorporated into  this draft.

Pay attention to the purpose of a draft, which is to elicit feedback so you can refine and proof your work before  you deliver a document to a high-stakes audience. All the fundamental  elements are put in place, but until you get stakeholder feedback and  have revised and proofed your work, it isn’t “ready for prime time.”

• A description of the organization and an explanation of the  management structure of a population-based public health program. You  will need to support your description of the structure based on current  management-theory literature.
