Annotation: In this training program, students will build a logic model based on a scenario – ranging from simple to complex. Students must correctly identify the components in the scenario that belong in the program’s logic model and enter those components into the appropriate place in the logic model framework. This program is ideal for those interested in practicing and enhancing their logic model building skills as part of designing and/or evaluating a program. This course has been revised as of August 31st, 2017 to incorporate scenarios related to food policy and social determinants of health and to improve the interactive components of the logic model activity.

Learning Objectives: • Construct a public health program logic model based on given program information.

Continuing Education: 1 CPHCE

Describe how to make and interpret SPC charts for rare events 3. Identify ways to use small numbers data to identify progress and improvement as a result of IM CoIIN activities 4. Plan how to best share and present data with small numbers to team members and stakeholders 5. Interpret the stratification of IM data (e.g. by racial groups) when it involves small numbers Webinar 3: 1. Explain primary, secondary and tertiary prevention strategies for Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome 2. Identify innovative interventions for prevention being employed by states targeting Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome 3. Describe how to work collaboratively across state and community partner to prevent Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome 4. Identify non-traditional partners that states can work with collaboratively to address Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome Webinar 5: 1. Describe the goals and structure of the March of Dimes Prematurity Campaign Collaborative 2. Identify opportunities to partner in the areas of intentionality and birth spacing, increasing access to 17 P and addressing social determinants of health 3. Explain consumer-focused communications strategies and how to get involved.

Annotation: This webinar provides an overview of logic models and when to use them in both applications and evaluations. The webinar includes how to write specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely (SMART) objectives and how to access logic model designs. Logic model templates are provided.

Learning Objectives: •Introduce you to smart goals and logic modeling. •Describe how to develop a logic model. •Illustrate the application of logic models in planning and evaluation.

Annotation: This interactive course teaches the fundamentals of quality improvement (QI) and how to use this methodology to create effective, beneficial change. Lessons and exercises go over important elements such as the model for improvement, Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles, implementation and spread. Worksheets and other resources are included.

Learning Objectives: • Describe the necessary ingredients for improvement. • Identify the components of an aim statement. • Write an aim statement. • Describe the three types of improvement measures. • Describe the use of run charts in improvement. • Understand the components of a run chart and the information it provides. • Follow the steps in a Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle to test a change. • Describe the key components of an implementation strategy. • Describe the Breakthrough Series learning collaborative framework for spread.

Annotation: This article describes the approach and ongoing learning from applying return on investment (ROI) and economic impact (EI) analyses to public health QI projects and analyze the results in order to illustrate ROI potential in public health.

Annotation: This workshop highlights both the tension and successes (yin & yang) of: 1) collaborations and partnerships among health care professionals, families of CYSHCN, and community partners, including schools, not‐for‐profits, and insurers; 2) use of measures and data to ensure consistently positive outcomes 3) use of a family‐driven systems change approach rather than a program based approach in North Carolina to address community improvements for families of CYSHCN and 4) allowing flexibility needed for implementation efforts across widely varying communities and health care settings while maintaining fidelity to the program. North Carolina’s Innovative Approaches (IA) initiative and Indiana’s Child Health Improvement Partnership (CHIP IN for Quality) share how they each created positive change in statewide systems that provide services to CYSHCN.

Annotation: This webinar discusses considerations for developing a performance management system and provides a demonstration of the performance management system developed by the Maricopa County Department of Public Health. The presenter also discusses some key challenges encountered with the system and how the team is working to overcome those challenges. The context of the presentation is accreditation of the county by the Public Health Accreditation Board.

Annotation: This webinar discussed how to critically assess the strengths and weakness of qualitative research papers and evaluation projects. Webinar addresses how to contribute to the development of a qualitative research or evaluation project.

Learning Objectives: • Critically assess the strengths and weakness of qualitative research papers and evaluation projects. • Contribute to the development of a qualitative research or evaluation project.

Annotation: This skills‐building session provides participants with the knowledge and skills to determine the most appropriate NPMs based on state needs as part of the transformation of Title V; the workshop also focuses on development of state‐initiated Structure/Process measures. The transformation of Title V is almost complete and signifies a new era for MCH programs. During 2014‐15, state Title V programs will be completing five‐year needs assessments to select a new set of state MCH priorities and state performance measures; with the implementation of MCH 3.0, states also will select a subset of national performance measures (NPMs). In 2016, each Title V program will need to develop state‐initiated Structure and Process Measures to directly measure their impact on the NPMs.

Annotation: This DataSpeak provided an orientation to the newly-developed and pilot-tested State Systems Development Initiative (SSDI) Minimum/Core Dataset Implementation Guide. The guide was created to support states in applying uniform standards to the development of the Minimum/Core indicators and included all Minimum/Core Dataset measures, data elements, data sources, procedures, and a recording mechanism. This orientation webinar included a high-level mapping of the Guide, Workbook, and Lookup Table contents, as well as a review of the instructional, data access, and recording processes.

Learning Objectives: • Define the purpose of the Guide. • Describe the major components of the Guide, the Workbook and Lookup Table. • Explain how to follow the instructions to get the required data in the Guide and record it in the Workbook. • The general overview presented in this webinar is a preview for a more in-depth presentation scheduled for the AMCHP Conference in January 2016.
