PUN017 Health Planning and Evaluation

Effective responses by the health system to the major challenges derived from a rapidly changing world require effective planning which integrates capital, workforce and service planning. Planning is both a technical and political activity. Planning ranges from implementation of pre-set activities to the more contentious problem of how to make decisions about spending where there are fiscal, social and environmental resource constraints. Health managers have a responsibility to lead the future direction of health services by planning for future needs. This unit is an introduction to the principles and practice of integrated health planning and the evaluation of the effectiveness of health policies, plans and services. This unit will cover the spectrum of planning including the identification of the planning context, data to inform planning, the planning process, articulation of the plan into action and post implementation evaluation.
