Course 4: Implementing System Changes
Timeframe: 2 days
Learning Objectives: By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
- Analyze the authority granted for implementation
- Identify planning components when implementing a systems change
- Analyze rules and regulations
- Identify political games that can influence implementation
During this 2-day, skills-based workshop, participants learn to plan for the implementation of a newly enacted system change decision (e.g., enactment of a law, organizational policy, procedure or process). The workshop explores how the governance or organizational system could implement the enacted changes and how the implementation might improve health inequities within a population. Participants will learn about statutory authorities for implementation, and the public and private administrative structures and functions. They will apply critical thinking skills to analyze rules and regulations, and consider forces for deregulation. Case activities will explore how to assess and monitor the authorities and tactics (games) used by agencies during implementation.
